Sounds like you had a nice trip Diana!
Janet, I hope things work out for you. I can't believe school is starting again. A couple of weeks ago we heard the pools in the city were getting ready to shut down and I couldn't believe it. But school is right around the corner!
Gayle, I have never heard of turkey poop compost lol! The plants have doubled in size over the past few weeks but no flowers or anything yet. Oh well, I gave it a try. We got frost last week already and I had to cover the plants. In the next month or so everything will have to be out of the garden. Next year I'm planting earlier!
I had such a busy weekend! On Friday after work, Scott and I headed to my grandma's for some lasagne (delicious!) and then went with my brother and his girlfriend to the Black Eyed Peas concert! It was a really good show!
We got home around midnight, went to sleep, got up early, and had the whole family out for a day of golf. The course in our town is SO nice! But it's long, and half is uphill, so I'll definitely get a cart next time! At the end of the 9th hole, there's a clear short path to our house so my mom and I just walked home instead of alllll the way back to the parking lot with Scott
Everyone hung out at our house for the afternoon and played some bocce ball in the yard. My grandma and mom and I went to check out the antique store in town and everything was soooo beautiful. I want to go back and buy some things!
We had a big barbeque later with steaks, potatoes and beans from my parents' garden, salads, and nanaimo bars for dessert. It was so good! After everyone left we packed our bags, showered, and went into the city for the night. We planned to play cards but after a few games I was so tuckered out I went to bed.
We did tons of shopping yesterday which was good because we stocked up our storage room and our freezer. A grocery store had a 10 for $10 sale on a bunch of items so we took big advantage of that
10 coconut cream pies for $10? Don't mind if I do!
When we got home last night, we had JUST put groceries away when the power went out. Usually it's 10 or 20 minutes before power is restored, but it wasn't coming back on. We called the provider and there was a recording saying there was a substation down, all surrounding towns were out of power, and there was no estimated time for it to be fixed
It ended up being 2.5 hours without power! I was just going to bed when it came back on.
Now I'm counting down to next weekend when I get to do NOTHING!
