I Should Have Been Raking Leaves, But...

Shoulda, woulda, coulda... It was a fairly decent day and I SHOULD have been out raking leaves...but...but....it's Sunday...but...but...there are still a lot of leaves left on the trees. Oh, well!

I spent some time yesterday preparing the house for the trick-or-treaters, convinced that today was Halloween. When I sat down at the computer this morning before church, an email or two had come in with 10/30 as the date stamp. Huh? Surprise! Today isn't Halloween; tomorrow is!

What I DID do today was go to church, do some grocery shopping, and start my Christmas shopping. (I had a few ideas, so I just did it.) My family will be here next weekend, so I had to start thinking about what to feed them. Truth be known, by the time they get here on Friday night, it will be too late for supper, and they will leave early-to-mid-afternoon on Sunday, so we are really only looking at one day of food. There are some Grandma's House typical meals...like walking tacos (which my grandson loves) and corned beef and cabbage (which my granddaughter loves), but I'm keeping the options open. I have steak and pork and brats and chicken. We'll see what transpires. I eat it all!

I actually spent $17 on myself today! I have had three bathrobes around the house...all of which serve a useful purpose (hiding my body). One of my favorites--one that I sometimes sleep in--is faded and threadbare and developing holes. I bought a replacement today. Let's have a moment of silence for the old one. My daughter bought it for me back when she was still in high school. Time for the rag bag! RIP dear robe! You were my friend!

I need to step up my preparations for weekend company. I will be so happy to have all of my chicks in the coop again!
