Local place has a bank of waffle irons, and dedicates at least one, and often on weekend nights, two minions for making cups and cones. The smell is toe curling. Of course, the ice cream is good, it travels all of 30 feet to the freezers…

If only you could store the heat from stacking the wood until the winter.

I believe that Henry David Thoreau said something about that. 🙂

With assistance, I spent the afternoon cleaning my closets. I have 10 bags of clothes to donate, and I have scheduled a pick up. I now have room in my closets for the clothes I actually wear. There are still a few boxes of clothes to go through, and then there’s the whole dining area to clear out, but I feel good about having made this dent. It’s downsizing I should have done long ago but never felt up to tackling.

Happy Sunday!

Heard a good Celtic band, along with a blues band that was on the ticket last night. One of my friends plays several instruments with the Irish guys and guests as a sax player for the blues band. Sis, her sweetie and the pups got in but left for Dad’s after breakfast. I filled up the truck and washed it when they left, then went out on the bike with the neighbor. Now, it’s time to fix supper.

I think it’s time to recline and veg.

I’ll start us tomorrow unless someone else preempts me! Or if I oversleep. 😉

**MWAH!**

We just had a fine gourmet meal at that paragon of fine dinin’ known as Three Squares Diner. OYKW went for brekkie for dindin, and I had the hamburger steak with onion gravy, fries and a sallit. You know it’s a classy place when the sallit dressin’ comes in a foil packet. 😃 Thus endeth the weekend.

Work is done for the day. Making poke chops with sweet **N.O.T.s** and steamed broccoli with 'shrooms.

I received an email in my junk folder from “Mr. Heung Keung”; I deleted it w/o opening it.

Phooey.

Wrongo. About 30 seconds after I finish putting it together, it would be full of VWife’s quilting shit. :mad:
