Good Morning!
Yesterday started out down for me, and I even had a little cry, but then it went up from there. I just couldn't get motivated, and was sad for Kathy, but after my little cry, I was fine. All the towels and swimsuits that were hanging over the porch railing to dry out but got soaked when it poured rain during dinner on Monday, needed washed and dried. Got that done and ready for the next round of swimming. Mixed up 6 batches of pie dough. Gave the kitchen counters a good cleaning and found out where the ants were coming from, and then set out tabs of paper with Toro on them for the ants to "feast". There should be no more ants today.
My brother and his family all eventually came and swam yesterday. The water was really nice and we had a good visit. I wasn't down at the pool for very long since I was up in the house puttering along getting things done. I was waiting to hear from Kathy about her job interview. She GOT IT!!! Now she won't be starting for a week or two, but at least she knows there will be money coming in soon.
Once Blaise got home and us all quickly fed, we headed into town to take a car out for a test drive that we saw over the weekend. Now I called in the morning to see what their hours were and ask how long that car had been there....since mid February. We went, we tried, and we made an offer. Once he took the offer to the owner, he came back with a title that someone else had left as a deposit on the vehicle that afternoon. Now if that was really true or not, we just walked away. We weren't willing to pay sticker price. Oh well. Blaise was so disappointed, but we explained there will be another one. You have to play the game too. The guy never introduced himself, didn't shake our hand, ask our names, nothing. He really didn't want our business.
Took Blaise for his first swim team practice. It was a gorgeous evening, so he wasn't freezing once he was done. I came home and baked a dutch apple pie for the doctor's office. Made a mess of my nice clean counters.
This morning I'll go deliver that pie as soon as Blaise gets on the bus. Aunt J is coming over to scoop grease balls once I get back home. I used up all the lard balls yesterday, so that's what she'll be making today. I have 100 lbs of lard to be scooped, so she'll have lots to work with. She'll probably only do up 25lbs, but it'll keep me busy for a while. I might bake some carrot cakes for the freezer. There is always something to be done. Of course we'll do our usual chatting.
Tonight Blaise has both karate and swim practice. School was suppose to be finishing up this week, but the strike screwed that up.
Have a wonderful day!
