TGIF

These last few days have been busy and time has flown by. I can hardly believe it’s Friday . . seems like yesterday was Monday.

Today we have a G.E. rep coming by to look at our fridge. Good timing . . the freezer has completely stopped working and the fridge is hanging at a balmy 50 degrees. I think the freezer is at about 65. If we don’t get some satisfaction from G.E., we’re going to have to bite the bullet and buy a new fridge. This has been going on since February.

There window guy is coming out today too so he can measure the front windows that have to be replaced. We have a time when he will be here . . I just don’t remember what that time is but Vince knows. The fridge guy – it’s just some time between 8 and 5.

Yesterday we went to Nevada, MO. Chad and Nicole were working. Addie was in school. So, we didn’t get to see any of them. We had planned to look at a house not too far from Nevada but there ended up being some potential issues so after talking with our realtor, we all decided to pass on that place. I had come in contact with a lady near there who was making quilts for veterans and I told her I would meet her and give her some red, white and blue fabric so we went ahead and went, met her and gave her the fabric, got a burger at Freddy’s (I love their fries), then came home. On the way home, we went by Marlee’s Creamery and got fresh, raw milk and they happened to have a dozen duck eggs for sale so I bought those. I’m not sure how many they have or how often they have them but I was sure happy to get that last dozen of them.

Here’s a funny story about Marlee’s Creamery. It is definitely off the beaten path and even though we’ve been there probably a dozen times, we still have to use GPS to get there, especially coming from the north. I think we can get there without GPS going from home but . . here’s the funny story.

When we lived in Nevada (from 2007 to 2011), I found about about Marlee’s Creamery. I called and they had milk that day so when Vince got home from work, one cold wintery afternoon, I asked him if we could run to Carthage and get milk. He wasn’t nearly as enthusiastic about that as I was but he agreed to go. By the time we got almost to Carthage, it was dark, had begun sleeting with a bit of snow mixed in. My directions on how to get there would have been poor, at best, in the daylight. At dark, I had no idea how to get there and Vince was NOT happy. By time the time we stopped twice and asked for directions, we got there, it was snowing pretty good and we still had to run in, get our milk and drive an hour back home. Oh, I don’t think we’ve been to Marlee’s since that first night that one of us doesn’t say “Remember that first time we came here?”

After we got home, I was out working in the garden, saw that I had a message from Angie (we bought the house from Angie and Jeremy), she had made cookies and wanted to bring some over. Nice to have friends who bake cookies and share! She came over and we had a nice visit.

Wednesday I spent the day stitching with my friend, Debbie. We ended up talking more than we stitched but it was one of our most fun days. Our days together are always fun. Debbie even commented that we had talked more than we stitched and that was ok. I look so forward to our stitching days.

So, we get through today and then we have a weekend! No plans this weekend as far as I know. We could have storms — a good weekend for sitting inside and stitching.
