This morning I paid a visit to my local farmers' market. I have missed it for the months I was gone, and enjoyed the beautiful produce I bought today.
I don't know why I am still so tired, as I don't think it should take that long to recuperate from driving 10,000 miles.
Yesterday evening I attended Arianna's soccer game. Most of the 4 year olds just run around the field, but there is always one superstar! There is a kid on her team who can outrun anyone on the field and he is a delight to watch. No score is kept and the quarters are short, and it's fun to watch. The coaches are so good with little kids.
I also gave Donald two pork tenderloin roasts I bought this week at Costco - I really don't have room to host a sit down meal for more than two other people, so I sort of bribed Don into cooking for me! Dinner is at 6 this evening and I need to be getting ready to drive over to their house.
While I was resting on the couch this afternoon I looked over a booklet I have for Trinity County, CA, which is where I am really interested in camping. December and March are possibilities, but probably the best time is April. I don't want to wait that long to get outdoors for a few days, so in the meantime I will keep researching. The last part of October would be ok although I'm not sure I'm ready to drive very far (Trinity is about 200+ miles). November is completely out, but December is relatively free. I don't decorate or do a lot of shopping in December, so I might as well be stargazing away from city lights.
I may return the radio I bought yesterday. It is hard to get rid of the static, and maybe that is due to all the metalic mobile homes in the area. I'm still determined to not sign up for anything now or in the future that requires a 1 or 2 year contract. That leaves most TV packages out, and although AT&T UVerse can be without term limits, they just offer way more than what I can use. I don't have HD or digital TV, don't watch sports or movies, don't have a DVR, etc., so why do I need all that comes with their service. I think I liked the 20th century better in many ways. For one thing I was younger then and a trip didn't wipe me out!
- On The Road Once Again
I'm very weary after a day's drive. I had a restful and fun 2-1/2 day, 3 night stay in Columbus, GA. A friend from my childhood, and the maid of honor at my wedding, lives in Columbus now and I haven't seen her for years. ...
- Dead Battery!
I'm sitting here on a Saturday morning waiting for AAA to show up and jump start my car. I went out bright and early to drive to the farmers' market when I discovered the battery was dead. After the jump I will immediately drive to...
- Surprise Visitor
I went to Jeannie's this evening to help celebrate her birthday, and got a big surprise. Ara flew in for a few days, and gave her family a big, big surprise. Stephanie picked her up at the airport and delivered her to the house. ...
- I Definitely Overdid It Today
I washed three large loads in my washer and carried them one by one across the street to hang them out on the line. Wet clothes are heavier than dry, and wet towels are much heavier than dry. I had a full load of towels that I've put off...
- Another Beautiful Day
It's a good thing I ventured outdoors today because the inside of my house is like a fridge, whereas it is really nice out in the sun. I started the day by doing two loads of laundry and was going to just say the heck with it and dry it all in the...
