Hello there,

Ended up going home at 2:45pm apparently Paul was busy working on the Peterborough office that he forgot to call and say go home at 1:00pm..but that was ok..did crochet and that kept me occupied..just have to purchase 4 skeins - 2 different colors and I'll have another big afghan done!

Linda Kay drove into Elmvale and boy did she have some pretty prints, you know, all material in her store went from $14.95 to $24.95, imagine..bit high for me unless I just need a fat quarter of something (just like we did Stacey when we bought our material there)! Included was tone on tone sunflowers, quite nice, wasn't sure if it was something you wanted to add to your collection, she said she'd cut me fat quarters of the 2 different tone on tones..let me know, my treat!

On the way home a farmer had fresh corn, had to pick some of it up, then did groceries and didn't do Fabricland..looked at the clock and though to myself, why not do the corn and then have an early night , could finish another carryall bag or finish reading my book ...

No sooner did I have all that planned out did Ann call and ask if I was up to doing cement birdbaths, she wanted one for her yard so told her to come over, got into my gladrags and we starting our digging for form and mixing block mortar..had a few containers of baubbles but would have like more.

OMG, while we were working both of us started to get a whiff of someone cooking, with the restaurant back to back in the side yard Ann thought it could be pizza, I thought it was my neighbor b.b.q.'ing...

Nothing like being hungry and smelling something yummy.

Melissa came over to check on her mom, all left as Mike was fishing at the shore and the girls wanted to get the boat in for him before he got it in his head to pull it out himself....you know men, told to do nothing but do they listen.

We came inside to wash our hands and rid ourselves of cement before it set and casted our hands, lol..LO AND BEHOLD, smoke city, guess who was cooking and completely forgot...you know me, can't boil water and apparently I can't cook corn either so it's off to the restaurant for souvlaki dinner..

Told Ann next time she came she'd have to stay for supper!

CORN ANYONE!

I'd hate to think how many pots I've burned since I began cooking, all started with making taffy apples, I'll have to tell you about that one...hilarious..
