CALM DAY BEFORE THE STORM

 Up this morning to greet all the g-kids. G-son leaves with daughter to do his school work at her house and the 3 girls stay with us.  I got chores done and then we all had breakfast.  I had oatmeal and they all had waffles and yogurt.                                                                                                                                  It is a nice day before the storm rolls in later tonight.                                                                                       


  After we ate I took RL and IR to help me and we cleaned up in the playroom. I am wanted to revamp this space and take out the baby crib that is only being used as a catch all and put some new things for them to play with in there. We made some good headway in getting this done before lunchtime.               We found several things they opted to take outside to their playhouse trailer to play with so that was a good thing, only thing they couldn't decide to get rid of anything !!!                                                           We all sat down and ate a good lunch, guess the girls worked up a great appetite in all our cleaning.  They both had mac and cheese and biscuits and I had boiled egg salad and green beans from the garden that I had cooked yesterday. Hubbie always fixes his own food and I don't pay much attention to what he has so that's why it isn't listed here.                                                                                                           Daughter came in after lunch to get her salsa started before her virtual teacher meeting. She managed the meeting and the salsa and even helped a couple of her students while we worked. I delivered and cake at 3:00 and she finished with 13 jars of delicious salsa and 1/2 jar to eat now.                                     Hubbie picked more tomatoes this evening so I will definitely be canning more tomatoes tomorrow hopefully and then maybe looking for another interesting recipe for using all our extra tomatoes. He thinks this is the end of them but he has said that a couple times already and they just keep producing which we are very thankful for.                                                                                                                      We worked some on our automatic gate opener this evening but decided just to chain the gate shut tonight and finish installing it tomorrow as the rain moved in on us this evening.                                       We got chores done and then relaxed for the evening thankful for another blessing week and still praying for all the victims of hurricane Laura who will be passing out area overnight tonight with rain and wind for us.

God Bless and Good Night
