Rain
The thunder and lightning during the night was noticed but not enough to keep me awake. It is rare, but I didn’t need to make a bathroom visit last night. At seven this morning it wasn’t up for debate.
My agenda for this morning, was to make a total first floor vacuum project. Swiffer’s can get a lot, but when the sun shines across the laminate flooring, not so much. Our small shop vac comes in oh so handy. A thorough cleaning of the clothes dryer vents gives assurance of avoiding a clothes dryer fire. It is amazing how hot the clothes is when taking it out of dryer immediately when it shuts off.
The hot BBQ sandwiches were good for supper last night, but a lb. of ground beef makes a huge batch for just the two of us. We even scooped some up with potato chips. This afternoon, a few white Russet potatoes got peeled and the remaining BBQ will be ladled over the boiled potatoes. Boiled potatoes never get old for me.
Today Dennis and friend Dwayne messed around with Dwayne’s international tractor that Dwayne has stored in our back garage for more years than I can remember. Dennis has had a trickle charger on it, getting it ready for a day such as this. It started right out. The two fellows wore themselves out for today. It is sitting in our drive with plans for tomorrow to wash it off. Slow and steady it is for these life-long friends.
Megan and I texted back and forth this morning. She is finished with her four year college time that she accomplished in three years. Wow. This Thursday she will fly to Minnesota. Carrie is having surgery in Rochester on May 20th. I am sure Megan will be helping out in Carrie’s store. Megan, her dad and a U-Haul will be leaving June 1st to move Megan to her new home in Virginia. Hmm :(. I assured her we would see her before June 1st.
This afternoon, I have thread colors picked out for Megan’s remaining pot holders. That is my agenda for tomorrow, Wednesday. Along with the thread, I oiled the machine and put a new needle in. The prep is done.
I am having a mid-afternoon pick-me-up. When last we were in Menards we bought a rather large bag of individually wrapped Life Savers. Some left-over breakfast coffee and a banana flavored Life Saver. Come on energy!
It sounds as if we could get more rain in the next several days.
With that I take my leave. ♥
