Another treasure I found while packing. This is something that's fun for me to go back and read but it probably needs to be burned at this point. There's nothing that would matter to anyone else or even that anyone else would find entertaining. I started writing in 1966. I was 12! I was pretty dedicated to writing every day for about our years. By the time we got to 1970, it's hit or miss. ...
Hardheaded Dog
Either we're crazy or we deserve an award for being so dedicated to this hard headed, demanding little dog. After the vet in Abilene kinda scolding me for making Rita's dog food, then the MO vet being so enthusiastic about the homemade dog food, I was 100% committed to making her food . . except . . life is just crazy right now and I sometimes feel like I'm doing good to keep the humans fed ...
Saturday Packing
Can't we get weekends off? Shouldn't there be some rule about mandatory breaks? I'm not sure who woke up first Rita or Vince. I am sure it was not me! 5:30! Vince got up and thought he could sneak out without Rita noticing but I heard her squirming around in her little bed so I got up with her. I did tell Vince I was not starting to pack til daylight. We're still working in the sewing room. ...
Packing
I should have started numbering these packing posts but I didn't and it's too late to start now. This morning Vince and I were talking and he said that when we had packers in MO, they had the whole house packed in about a week. I think he's trying to start problems, don't you? I told him . . nicely, of course: I already had all the fabric packed when they arrived.There were five or six of ...
Garden
The garden has really come back to life after the rain a couple of weeks ago. This morning I went out to cut okra and ended up with a few tomatillos, one cucumber, a few jalapeno peppers, more asparagus and some small bell peppers. I've been trying to eat out of the freezers. I have a spreadsheet so I pretty much know what's in them but finding it can be a different story. Since we're ...
The Other Quilts
These are the other two quilts that were in the box. I had these hanging on the line and Vince said "Oh, those are so pretty!" He loves the softer colors and the neutrals but he sees too few of those around here. I do think all the quilts except the ones on the bed are now packed. The down comforter is washed. I put it in the dryer for a while on low, then hung it on the line. I ...
