Went to see ET at the Strong City Opera House last night. I love that movie! I still cry when I watch it. They had a nice crowd there. There was a little girl about 3 that kept saying out loud “Oh no” or other comments. She was so cute and expressive.
Got 7 more jars of apple butter canned today. My apples are all worked up. Good to have that project done. I don’t think I will make any more as I have 36 jars of peach jam to give away too. Nice to have a bunch of Christmas gifts ready to go.
It is another beautiful fall day in KS today. No wind, mid 70’s, bright blue skies – doesn’t get much better than this in KS.
I got my laundry done today and a bed made. Don’t have anything else I have to get done today. My lineman is on his way home. He will get in sometime tomorrow afternoon. Not sure what their plans will be for the rest of the week. Flexibility is a key word around here.
I’ll need to go to town tomorrow to get some groceries. May try to find some good Jonathan apples to have some to fry. The ones I picked weren’t good enough for that. The apple butter seemed runny but maybe it will set up more when I chill it. Not sure I have had apples do that before. Hope it tastes OK.
Have lots of empty space on my calendar for next week. Monday I am getting some locally raised beef delivered directly to me from a local rancher. I was out of hamburger so am happy I will have some back in the freezer. I don’t like store-bought hamburger. Tuesday and Wednesday my calendar is empty! Thursday evening is Kathy’s farewell dinner some friends are doing for her. Friday I am going to KC for class and won’t be home until Saturday evening. Sunday I have some new guests coming in for two nights. Kathy is leaving Friday morning for KY.
Can’t believe it is almost the end of September already. Christmas will be here before I know it. Only 5 1/2 weeks before I go to Australia and New Zealand. Time sure seems to have sped up lately.
I was feeling really discouraged about the Match situation last night and got to thinking about Bright Lines. On this plan I often would go two to three weeks without losing any weight and then would lose three to five pounds rather quickly. I had decided at the beginning to trust the plan and not let the time when I wasn’t losing weight throw me off plan. I’m thinking Match will be like that too. I need to trust that when the timing is right the right person will come along. Another life lesson for me in patience! When I let go of the details and focus on the big picture great things can happen if I stay out-of-the-way.
Grateful the apples are now apple butter, grateful for empty space this week, and grateful for life lessons!
