Raising Walls!

Woody got up early, early and walked 12 miles before Erin and I stirred. We finally pried Erin out of bed when the neighbors needed help raising the walls on their storage building. Erin and Woody helped and I took pictures! Well, there was a time that I propped the wall, that they are raising in the photo, while they put up the back wall. I came back home and planned the meals for the next two days and got ingredients needed on the grocery list. Then, after lunch Goosey (Woody) and Elijah went to the grocery store. Due to Erin's magnetism to her neighbor nephews and nieces there has been one or more over here visiting with her at various times today. It rained this afternoon and we had several thunder boomers. We may still be in for some more...I'm not sure. The temperatures have dropped a bit compared to yesterday due to the afternoon and evening rain. Erin and I fixed a pretty quick and easy and yummy supper...Shrimp Scampi served over linguine and a side salad. The kitchen has been cleaned up and the dishwasher is going. Now I'm going down to mess it up again as we are going to make some preparations for cooking tomorrow...we might even get a recipe made. Tomorrow we will be preparing the "feast" planned for whoever comes to pick Erin up on Saturday. Saturday's menu will include homemade pulled pork and "all" the trimmings that we like with it...Boston baked beans (getting ready to soak the beans...this is my mother's recipe for loooong cooking baked beans), German slaw (planning to make this tonight...it has a cooked dressing (change in plans Woody is going to make this tomorrow (thank you!)), lime and thyme potato salad, corn, Melany "might" bring a favorite of her daddy's...broccoli salad. (Listing this to entice Erin's family to come!!!!!) Saturday, weather permitting, there may be a bit of yard work done. I'm hoping that Woody can get a some help at least getting some wheelbarrow fulls of mulch dumped in strategic spots so then he can spread it when he "wants" to! We will see if the weather and workers and amount of pollen in the air cooperate on Saturday! Oh, and, Erin finished one of the books that she got at the library yesterday...now she is ready for the book that I'm reading...I'm not as fast a reader as she!
