This morning Chad, Addie and Nicole drove down. Chad drove his pickup and trailer and his purpose for coming was to help Vince clean out our rented storage units. There are two left to be cleaned out but they are double size - 10 x 20 I think. But, before the cleaning and sorting began, I've been needing cow panels for the garden but we have no way to get them home. Vince sold the trailer that ...
Congratulations Ghetto Tacos!
We recorded Best Bites and just watched it (10 pm). Cooper and Oscar were asleep on my lap and I squealed when they won. Poor puppies. I scared them half to death. We went to Ghetto Tacos on Tuesday but now I want to go tomorrow. We won't but maybe one day next week! I like the people who own Ghetto Tacos . . the owners of the other restaurants are probably nice too but I have never been ...
Lilac and Hibiscus Jelly
Note: When making lilac jelly, make sure you're getting blossoms from a "common lilac" as other types, such as the Persian lilac, are said to not be safe for consumption by humans or pets. Yesterday morning I started with the lilacs that had been steeping overnight and made lilac jelly. The recipe I use for pretty much any jelly that his juice or infused liquid is 4 cups of the juice/infused ...
Early to Bed
Last night was the first time in many, many years that I was in bed before 10 p.m. I was so tired but we had a busy day.

Did that, needed a few things from Aldi so we ran to Carthage ate lunch a the hospital, then bought groceries, ...
Markup R-XP Cross Stitching App
I've been using the Markup app for several months now and I love it so much. I had been using Pattern Keeper almost since I got back into cross stitching in 2020. It's still a good app but for my stitching, I like Markup so much better. Some of the things I'm going to say I love about Markup may even be available on Pattern Keeper and I just never fully learned to use it. I will say that when I ...
Long Dog
I could measure (or try to measure) both dogs and see how long they are but, to me, Cooper looks SO much longer than Oscar. It may be because Oscar is quite a bit wider than Oscar. (Don't tell Oscar I said that!) but sometimes, I look at Cooper and have to do a double take to see if he's really as long as he looks. Even though he's just nine months old, he's definitely into the terrible two ...
