Busy Saturday

My son, Greg and his daughter Noelle came down yesterday evening for a visit.  Greg told me to line up some chores I would like for him to do, so I am good at doing a chore list.  

Had strawberries and biscuits for a late evening supper.  Noelle went on to visit a friend for the night.  

Today I put Greg to work.  He did several things for us and visited all day.  This afternoon we went to a few garage sales in Mineral Wells.  We each bought a few nic-nacs.  I did find a new

ice bucket so I can retire my old lime green one from about 40 years ago.  Paul got a rain gauge and now has two.  One for the front yard and one for the back yard.  It was only .5 so we splurged.

Yesterday I purchased my 4th Danielle Steele Book "The Promise" which is my favorite story.  I also have a DVD and a Video.  They are rather rare to find and I didn't need more but for new condition at .50 I couldn't resist.

Adrienne somehow found my blog yesterday.  I hadn't told anyone about it.  Noelle said I had

a counter on it and 13 viewers.  Must be accidental.  She put a background on for me so it looks

better now.

Noelle fixed a garden fresh salad for supper this evening and we had corn on the cob from one of the road-side markets.  (sorry, Adrienne).  Every time I eat corn I am reminded of Adrienne's corn allergies.  She has to be really vigilant and dedicated.  I don't have her will-power.

We had lots of rain and wind today and it blew over some of our corn.  Also noticed it split

our last big old rotten tree down in the field.
