Good afternoon everyone,

Been busy, busy, busy! Thank goodness we leave on vacation tomorrow but just getting ready to leave is a lot of work. All yard work has been done and all veggies ready have been harvested and processed. Just need to water the flower pots tonight and I'll be done.

The suitcase is packed and all that needs to happen is for dh to pack his own non prescription supplements. I printed off directions to our Minneapolis park and fly hotel in case the GPS fails. I MUST remember my cell phone and the phone charger and will charge it up this evening. It's a long 8 hour drive so hopefully dh won't dawdle too much in the morning. He sometimes takes a long time to get his act together. We'll eat breakfast at home and will take along a picnic lunch (which is more nutritious and will save a bit of money) that we'll probably eat in Duluth.

This morning I processed and froze all the veggies I could. It will be up to dd to take care of the rest. As long as it doesn't go to waste I don't care. She has lots of work colleagues she could offer the zucchini to. I think most of the green beans are picked.

Dh had an appointment with the shoulder specialist and he was very pleased with his progress. He will have some follow up PT appointments following our return from vacation. He's even been given the green light to attempt a little golf! Perhaps in Denver - he left an old set of clubs at our dd's place.

Dug out some American change and put in my purse. Put the Canadian change in another compartment. Dh takes care of the higher currency. Our exchange rate is terrible so this will be a somewhat costly vacation but what can you do.

Have a great day everyone - what is left of it!

I have washed & hung out 4 loads, with another in the washing machine. The last load I hung in our trailer as dark clouds were rolling in -- as I look outside, I'm grateful that I did that as strong winds are blowing through (I've been hoping & praying for rain, maybe WE will actually get some instead of it racing off to plague the East -- we desperately need RAIN).

Reading about Jackie putting peppers & beans in the freezer reminded me; I diced 5 large green bell peppers into freezer two 1-quart bags.

My goal has been to sew 5 blocks each day, but I've got almost 15 completed today -- I stitch on them while waiting for washer to fill so I can add clothes.

I still feel extremely exhausted, and since all littles are home from playing at neighbors, I'm going to attempt a nap in a few minutes -- I keep dozing off at computer.

Dinner tonight will be Pork Chops, sliced cucumbers, and?? I'll figure that out later.
Bless Gayle.. you work so hard..I hope you get a nice nap in.. Janet Alliesmama
Thank you Janet. I got a 45 minute nap, and went to bed early last night.
