Wow, it's been a bit.... 05 Sept o7

Good evening all. It' been a while since I've been able to post. I miss coming here.

Been a productive vacation this past week. Made some apple sauce and apple butter - yummy! Whipped up another batch of laundry soap, granola, and made some oatmeal cookies. Spent most of the week on my "little" project in the dinning room. I had removed the floor boards to prime and paint knowing there were a couple areas on the one wall that would need fixing. Weeeeellllll, while gently brushing the loose debris away, a good half to 3/4 of the wall came apart! Wow, what an experience that was. On the up side, I"ve learned to rebuild a wall and found out I can use a jig saw without loosing a finger or needing a bandaide LOL.

My dinner tonite was some yogurt and cottage cheese - exciting I know but I don't bring much to work as I usually have to eat fast. Tomorrow I'm making spinach mannicotti and since the weather will turn cooler over the weekend, a pot of chilli is in the works for Friday. Any leftovers on Monday will be canned. I work this weekend so it'll be an easy meal to fix. Of course there's the chicken we'll have on Sunday - crock pot chicken cooked in onion soup mix, cream mushroom soup, potatoes, onions and carrots slow cooked all day - yummo.

I've scaled down my bulk storage a bit. Things are getting pretty expensive around here so I"ve scaled down to 6 months worth instead of a year. Hope it doesn't come back to bite me in the tushy later on.

Well, better go see to things. will check back soon.

Michele

It was great to catch up with you. Sorry about the wall-glad you learned how to get it fixed. That must have felt good. It always seems that small jobs turn into big jobs. LOL Holly
