Good Morning, All! Hope everyone is having a wonderful start to the new week.
I've managed a bit of progress on my split chicken breast acquisition - up to 26# so far; hoping to pick up a bit more this morning when I stop in to pick up donuts on my way in to work, and I may stop by again on the way home if I'm not too peopled out - full moon, psych ward, 12+ hour shift; yeah, I might not make it to the store afterwards.... Oh well, the sale runs through Tuesday I'm just hoping that they don't have it mis-labeled this morning; yesterday half the packages were marked $6.99/# and I had to take photos to prove it was the exact same packages as were marked .97/lb in order to get the sale price.
Plans for tomorrow are to snag the grandsons - they are out of school for Columbus Day - and have them help me pick up the black walnuts in the side yard. I may have to bribe the with the promise of another trip to the apple orchard and some apple cider donuts. I'll need to check the pool schedule and see if they are offering an extra open swim period as well.
I am looking forward to my vacation that starts at 7:30 pm tonight - applesauce, applesauce, applesauce The grandkids have a 3 day weekend off from school the weekend of my vacation and daughter is planning a get-away, so I will have help in my applesauce making adventure! I may make a trip to Kentucky for a cousin's birthday party the last few days of my vacation, but otherwise I am going to stay home and soak up the silence and hopefully get a few things done. I keep finding boxes of assorted quart canning jars stacked in nooks and crannies inside the shed that need to be put in the wooden crates and carried to the storeroom, plus I was gifted a couple of dozen pint jars that I have to 'un-decorate' before I can wash and store them - they were used as decor in a wedding. I also found a couple of big boxes of Mother Earth News magazines from back in the 70's that I need to wipe down and bring inside. If I get bored with all that, there is plenty of yard work to do, for sure!
Well, my 15 minute warning alarm is going off; guess it's time to round up my scrubs, pack a lunch, and head out. You folks take care out there; stay safe!
