We had a fun time visiting with Nicole and Geoff last night. Stayed up way too late but it was worth it. Sat out on the back deck and watched the lightening from a storm a long ways away. I gave in first and went to bed but I don’t think it was too long after I gave up that the others went to bed too.
Got up this morning and fixed breakfast for them. They enjoyed a walk down to the chicken coop to see the new baby chicks before they left. They brought a big cooler and we almost filled it with their quarter of beef. They were on the road before 11:00 to go back to KC. It was a short trip down for them but I sure enjoyed their visit.
The baby chicks are doing well. Their wing feathers are coming in already. I had to turn the heat lamp off as the coop gets too hot during the day. I even opened the window today to help them cool down a bit. It is harder to maintain the proper temperature in the coop but it is sure nice not to have them in the house.
I am fixing meat loaf, cheesy potato casserole, corn and E’Clairs to take to Tim and Michelle this evening for their dinner. I put a small bit of the potato casserole and meat loaf in separate containers for our dinner. I will put ours in the oven when we go to town to deliver their food. Then when we get home ours will be ready to eat. I’m anxious to try our new beef.
Don’t have anything on the calendar for tomorrow except Jason is bringing his little guy out to see the baby chickens and to pick up his quarter of beef.
Am still working off and on making more face masks. I got 10 more made yesterday but 10 more went out the door today. Still have pieces to make about 90 more and then will have to decide if I am going to make more or not. I haven’t worked on them much the last couple of days.
I’m a bit tired this afternoon. I laid down for a bit after the kids left but couldn’t go back to sleep. Thinking I won’t stay up so late tonight.
Don’t have much going on this coming week except for my physical on Wednesday and mammogram on Thursday. It will be nice to have a quiet week and a short to-do list. Maybe I will get to my wish list of things to do and get a couple of those things knocked off the list.
Grateful for the visit from Nicole and Geoff, grateful the chicks are all still alive and growing fast, and grateful for the delicious smell of the meat loaf cooking.
