I was awake for quite a bit of time during the night. But I did wake up so I could bake the egg casserole. We packed the pickup and are on our way to Buffalo and then Zimmerman. I am obsessed with the possibility of getting steps for the CSA barn from Sinott's auction. On our drive north I put in bids on about 4-7 items. Lord, guide my purchases.
I made egg caserole for breakfast. I had a 97% rating for my sleep. Unheard of !!! Denny had a dermatology appointment at 8:15. We made it home to tell Lopers bye. Time to wash bedding !!! and remake the beds. Missy and I sorted out the refrigerator and got food ready for supper. Smoked Brisket- Smoked pork, buns, asparagus, watermelon, pasta salad, coleslaw, Genghi watched the World Cup, Denny and I went to bed at halftime.
Nice and relaxing in the morning. We left for Cherokee abobut1:30. Tessa did my nails at 3:15. The boys had swim pictures and then we watched the kids get ready to compete. Kinda Chilly in the water and in the breeze outside of the water. They use a sharpie to write the events that they are in. They swam in one heat Tyler had Alexa next to him and getting his to the right place. She walked beside him while he was in the pool. He was the youngest one there, I think. The meet got postponed when a storm arrives. During the 45 minute break we went to Cooks and got a bite to eat. The resumed the meet and the boys each were in 2 more events. Before their 4th event the meet was canceled because of the temp and late time because of the weather wait.
Chilly this am. Denny fixed breakfast and we ate under the pine trees on the long table. The rest of the am was spent working on this blog, playing ball, Cuube, Fun tp watch the goings on. At night we had the brisket that Denny smoked. YUM!!
I headed to Olive Branch and worked until noon. There was a big load brought in and several areas of the store were moved to make room for other items. While I was gone Denny tried to figure out the smell in the basement. Wash bedding again, wash carpet, try to see in sunk pump is the problem, it wasn't. After naps we continued. Lopers came around 7, Jensens got home around 8. Hamburgers tour of the place and rocking on the porch.
I had egg casserole and took muffins and "brown sugar" coffee cake out of the freezer. Phillip and Missy did a great job inSS and during the church service they were interviewed. Jensens headed to spend the night in Cherokee. We went home for naps and to put away stuff that was out for the party. We decided not to go see the boys play baseball. Good to get stuff put away and to bed early.
It started raining and Missy joined us on the porch wondering what to do ... put furniture in garage ... or tables in the garage. It worked out even tho at times is was drizzling. Luke kindly went in to Arthur to see if perchance cookies were there for the grad party. About 1pm people started coming. Jessica M. kindly asked if she could help, and she kept cookie trays and the fruit bowl filled. About 125 people came to celebrate Anabel. It worked out very well, I think. In the morning Brooks shot a ground hog. YES!!!
