Tuesday, still no phone service.

     This is turning into a night mare.  Or maybe it is nice.  It sure is a lot quieter around here without a phone.  But the shop is suffering and that will hurt my bottom line.  Still I had a bride pick up yesterday and I also ripped 4 bridesmaid dresses yesterday which I will do the sewing on today.  I also really cleaned up my shop, which desperately needed it.  I am anxiously waiting for my sister to come and reorganize me a little.

     As I had not slept at all the night before (slept great last night), I took a nap yesterday afternoon and it was wonderful as it is cooler now.  The heat will be back full  tomorrow.

     Hubs took advantage of the cooler air to do a lot of yard and garage work. Oh, by the way the hip is much better today.  I am still limping a little but no where near what is was yesterday. I am telling you RA is such a strange disease.

   I made room for my new canning in the storage and every time I come downstairs I bring a few jars with me.

     We are having one of our renters parents over for dinner this evening.  They are visiting from Michigan.  So I pulled T-bones and shrimp out of the freezer.  By the way 4 t-bones marked from $41.56 to 23.12 then 1/2 off that so about $3.00 a piece.  I will also have corn from the garden, sliced tomatoes, sweet potatoes, new  potatoes, and small yellow squash roasted.  I still have a lemon pie left for dessert and I might bake up a batch of bread.   It is so nice to live off the bounty of the garden and go to my freezer and present a lovely meal for so little.

     My goals for today, if my hip allows it, are to clean the upstairs, make bread and get those 4 dresses done plus a pile of other things.  It is very smokey here and the air quality sucks right now because of Forest fires.  So with my asthma I am not spending very much time outside.

     Well I have my work cut out for me today, How about you guys?  Are you going to get anything done today?

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
