Technically Tuesday

It is hard for me to be totally sure that it is Tuesday, as Donna and I didn't go to the church to work in the library this afternoon. At the moment we are pretty much caught up with "have-to-do" library work. So if either of us has something else on our calendars,it is easy to skip a work day. Today was one of those days. Though, I did "technically" do some library work today, as I returned a call to someone who had a question about donating books. So the library wasn't totally forgotten today. I mentioned last night that I was in the mood for some salads...yesterday I made a gelatin salad...and that I was considering making a potato salad today. And, I did muster up enough energy to do just that. It is in the refrigerator getting cold. I am looking forward to eating it once it is well chilled. Making a potato salad made quite a mess in the kitchen. I have started on the clean up. I have the dishes that will fit in the dishwasher and those that can't, I will wash by hand when I get my next spurt of energy this evening. In my down time today I have done some stitching...and...some napping. I have done some texting with friends and also had a conversation or two on the phone. It has been a very warm day...summer is approaching...and, it is beginning to feel like it. To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!

It’s June!

Hooray! I have the new keyboard working for the blog. I struggle with it each night to get it to work and most of the time it doesn't work. Often my blogs are much shorter when I can't get it to work! Maybe not working is a blessing to my readers!!! We really had a nice celebration with Esther yesterday. There were family and friends at their house to help her celebrate this milestone in her life. Wade, Melany, and Erin picked me up and we headed over to the Dorrell farm. We ate and visited for a while, then headed back home. In the end Alex and Brooke didn't come, as Brooke wasn't feeling well. So I "almost" had all my grandchildren gathered together in one place! Melany, Wade, and Erin left the party with some extra critters--chickens! As we drove to my house, Erin named them = Henrietta, Ducky and Lucky. I guess they have settled into Melany's new chicken coop. They are hoping for eggs! Since I had a pretty busy weekend, I didn't choose to do a lot today! I did do some cooking. I have decided that the temperatures are rising so I wanted to make some salads. Today I made a gelatin salad. I guess these days gelatin salads are not as popular as they once were, but I still like one every so often. I "may" get up the energy toto make the potato salad that I have planned to make this week. I went to prayer meeting this evening and am now back home and ready to start the dish washer and settle in for the evening. I'm planning to watch some needlework shows on YouTube and stitch. To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
