Good Morning! It's suppose to be a wet miserable day here, but we'll see. Yesterday turned out nicer than they predicted.
Yesterday wasn't super productive, but enough so. Aunt J did come to scoop lard while I worked on pie dough. I eventually rolled out enough shells & tops for next week's orders and put them in the freezer. It was a busy evening with Blaise...karate lesson then a half an hour at home then swim team practice. Fortunately swim team season is only 6 weeks long, so it's very doable. Had a nice chat with some of the moms I haven't seen since last year. It looks like it's going to be the same group of us running the concession stand. We clicked very well together. We discussed what we were going to do different this year. Last year on the first night we were standing around wondering what we should do, but this year we already know and can get things going immediately.
Tomorrow I was suppose to have limestone being delivered, but Sue finally got me the information of the guy they use. I called him, and the price was WAY less. On "sale" at the other place I was getting the first 10 ton at $30/ton. This place is $16.60/ton plus delivery fee. BIG difference. I'm going to save up to get the 30 ton I need to get the whole job done at one time. Cork thinks it's a waste, but I like a nice looking driveway.
This morning I think I'm going to bake 4 dbl layer carrot cakes for the freezer. There is ALWAYS laundry to be done. I swear to grows in the basket overnight. After supper we are going to look at another Escape at a local dealership. I already emailed the guy and made an offer and he counter offered, so we know what we are looking at price wise. The past couple years of going to yard sales & estate sales have taught me how to dicker. I've learned the worst they can say is no, and you have the option of just walking away from it or accept what they want. We'll be trading in two of our vehicles. We have 3 right now, and we only need 2. Though it is nice to have an extra one when one is in the garage, but we really don't need that extra expense. Then it's off to swim team practice. I think tomorrow night I'm going to ask Cork to do the karate lessons and I'll so the swim team practice. Don't know if Kathy will have Blaise at all this weekend or not.
Time to get busy.....have a good one all!
