Waiting on the rain to arrive on the prairie. We have a good chance for some soon. I can hear the thunder start to roll across the prairie and am starting to see a bit of lightning. Come on rain. Pull up a chair and stay awhile.
Kathy and I went with a friend to Florence for lunch today. It was good to get out of the house and do something fun. We all enjoyed it and need to do it again soon!
I haven’t gotten anything else done today. Tagen did the chicken chores just a bit ago so he could get them done before the rain comes. He brought up a beautiful, dark brown egg. I’ve never had a chicken lay one that dark before. He only brought up four today. Still waiting on the first day where he gets a dozen in one trip and has to use a bucket instead of hand carrying them. Maybe next week?
I cancelled the trip to Wichita today as the Best Buy person called me last night and told me it would take two to four hours to do the repair. I didn’t realize it would take that long and it reminded me that last time I took my phone to get the battery replaced it took even longer. They had broken a part on the phone and needed my permission to proceed. They texted me to get permission but they had my phone! I rescheduled for next week when I can drop off my phone and then go to lunch and Costco and then hopefully when I get back to the store they will be done.
It will be a quiet weekend around here. May try to move some things but not sure where we are yet. Thing are proceeding but not final yet and are getting a bit dicey. Patience will win the game!
I have some hamburger thawing for dinner tonight. Since it cooled off I can turn the oven on and I am going to make a Frito Pie for dinner. It used to be a favorite for my kids when they were little. I’ll see if it gets Tagen’s approval.
Got a note from the lady I buy beef from every year. Good news for her is that beef prices are high this year due to the drought. I’ll have to do some figuring and see who is in and who isn’t this year. Still beats grocery store prices and the beef is so much better. I will only keep a quarter or so this year as I don’t have many to feed usually. I can only eat so much hamburger now. I always feel rich when my freezer is full of beef.
Feeling a bit restless and nervous this afternoon. Not sure what that is about. Things have been apple cart upset around here for the last month and sometimes it takes me a while to let the energy pass through me. The thunderstorm rolling in seems to add to my nervousness although I am not afraid of storms. We shall see where this all goes.
Grateful for a lunch out with Kathy and a friend, grateful for beef coming to my freezer in August, and grateful for the rain the prairie is about to receive.
