So the Willy Street Fair was partially rained out and definitely the reduced edition. Like only one stage instead of three and no parade. So I didn’t see nearly the number of people I was wishing for. After I asked Mark for us not to leave for our Yorkshire Dales walking trip until after the … [Read more…]
And to use up local veggies & other ingredients. Recently I feel like I’ve been keeping the fridge emptier, buying smaller amounts, not having too many leftovers, trying out recipes that I’m interested in, making food that pleases me, and Mark will eat. Like that cookbook I have, Small Victories. ‘Course, no CSA this year … [Read more…]
We went on a quick 4-day getaway to Door County. I was stressed about going (I know unseemly in a retired person, but still) but as the trip got closer and I got more things settled, like combo kitty care with the kids up the street and their dad taking care of the orange kitties … [Read more…]
After all the tomatoes that I picked and processed the last weekend of August, I went a little nuts and got another 25-pound box of tomatoes that I picked up last Friday. Which was after me and Jasper went to the Wednesday market and bought 10 pounds of tomatoes to make two tomato pies for … [Read more…]
Or clearing out. Organizing stuff, getting the stuff we don’t want all into one area, one pile, so I can call one of the junk haul away services. So I keep going down and looking around and telling myself I’m planning. Ha. There’s this white dresser that I think I should sell rather than get … [Read more…]
I started writing this Friday, lamenting about how I’m so old and don’t do anything anymore. A whole FOMO post. But now that I’ve had the whole weekend if I start listing all the stuff I did there’s actually kind of a lot. I mean when you’re having two movie weekends you can’t be all … [Read more…]
And I haven’t even told you about Denver, or much beyond our first day there. When I backed up my pictures there were 51 – it’s been that long since I last did a backup. To start, the following pics are our 1st day in Denver and our first post-birthday day back in Madison. Our … [Read more…]
… Or at least trying to, and I had to go to Denver to do it, although not sure being on vacation provides more writing opportunities when the vacation is visiting grandkid #2. I closed my last post saying I’d do better but that hasn’t happened. And that was a whole weekend plus all the … [Read more…]
Whatta week … I was gonna say more like 9 days since I last posted but it’s really only been a week. The political news is crazy, the weather is changeable, and I haven’t been doing very well at photographing food. Or at any of my retirement re-organization projects. Or any of my more vague … [Read more…]
Enervated (one of my mom’s favorite words). Spending too much time sopping up water in the basement. Saturday night we got 3+ inches in something like 3 hours. Quietly freaking about recent political news, although, since Mark is in quarantine upstairs after he tested positive for Covid Friday morning, I’m downstairs with the cats. Which … [Read more…]
