Well it is wednesday and half the week is gone and I haven't done much but vegetate after the big weekend..so this morning I got busy..I've got 4 dozen rolls in the freezer, 2 loads of laundry done and folded, beds made and another boiled raisin cake made (Phill didn't get enough at the party cause he had to share). It is only quarter of 12 and now I am spent so guess I'll just putter the rest of the day.
We went to town last night with Hans and his family. We just needed to run by the bank, grocery store and grabbed a burger at In-n-Out. I picked up a few things for thanksgiving dinner..Smith's had some great looking yams so got 25 pounds of those..last year I had the dickens of a time trying to find yams at a decent price..last year they wanted $2 a lb. so I grabbed them last night at $1 a lb..that is way too high but better than last year. Also got some cranberries, last year I had to go to several stores before I could find any..these stores just don't stock up fresh items for the holiday anymore..guess most people just buy already prepared or go out to eat..yuck..years ago when we weren't having any children for Thanksgiving dinner Liz conned us into going out to dinner with her and Claude..big, big mistake..we had the worst dinner and we've always vowed never again..there is nothing better than a big ol' home cooked turkey dinner!!!
Well better find something to putter around with and get this cake iced.
This blog is for family and friends to keep up with our comings and goings. We will also post favorite recipes, desert gardening tips and hints, craft and quilting projects, etc. We live in an old mining town 35 miles southwest of Las Vegas, NV. The town has a population of approximately 250 brave souls. We have lived here 40 years and have learned alot about having a successful garden in the high desert. I do alot of baking, cooking, canning, quilting, sewing, tole painting and most needlework. We have wonderful mountain views, wild horses, old mines, miles and miles of trails and just a wonderful rural experience close to a large city. Life couldn't be better!!!
