Things I did today!

Category: Daily Happenings | Posted: Mon Oct 30, 2006 3:33 am

Since I went on a fieldtrip to Phoenix on Friday, this was my only day off this week. I slept late. I made blueberry or chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast. I told DR I would do the dishes today because I wanted to clean the cupboard and refrigerator. I wanted to clean the cookbook shelves too but I didn't get those done yet. After perusing Gardenstew for awhile, I went outside to do some things, like watering plants. Then, I did something I had on my list all summer. I hauled gravel bucket by bucket and dumped it on the path that runs from the house through the herbless herb garden to the lower driveway. I did a bit of housework and then, I made supper, did the dishes. Remember when DR wanted chocolate chip cookies and I didn't have any chocolate chips. The next day our neighbor Frank (not our gnome) brought over a bag of chocolate chips. Then, on Wednesday when we went to the grocery store, they had 12oz. bags of chocolate chips on sale for a dollar. So I was supposed to make chocolate chip cookies for DR. I did that after supper. I made them half sugar and half sugar substitute. I added walnuts to them. They turned out fairly good. The oven in the new stoves works great. It was sunny and warm out today but I brought my plants inside anyway. Maybe tomorrow I will get the cookbook shelf cleaned. I have a pile of cookbooks that I bought at the booksale and I need some space for them so I will put some that I don't use so much elsewhere and put the "new" used ones on the shelf. I found a diabetic dessert book that looks useful. There was a recipe for apple raisin pie that I think I can adapt with cranberries for Thanksgiving. Now, I think I need to write a couple of letters. Dooley

Sounds like you had a busy busy day playing catch up.
At least most of it got taken care of.

Good job Dooley hauling all that gravel the path must look so much better now!!

I could almost smell those cookies you made. It's great reading about what others bake as that way I can't put on weight. LOL

You had a very busy day Dooley, I don't seem to be able to accomplish as much on my days off as I used to. The cookies sound good.

What is with the stove virus? You got a new one, Sharon's just broke and now ours has stopped working.
No cookies here until the oven is replaced. I'll be over soon. Save me a cookie.
