Liz, Alan and the boss went to the tractor pull last night. I stayed home, listened to the roar of the big engines, just across the river and talked to Becky on the phone and on Facebook. (Speaking of which, I would love to "friend" any of you folks if you are Facebookers. If you don't know my real name....just ask in the comments...or check over there in the sidebar.)
Anyhow, we milked early so they could get over there on time. Having milked early for the cable guy in the morning it was fine for the cows. We got Road Runner yesterday, mostly because they offered a cheaper deal than Frontier, which we had used for the past two years. I am not thrilled. It is hard to work the TV (not that I watch it, but I do hear the whining from the other room.) and this computer is not any faster...maybe not even as fast...as before.
And I couldn't install all the fancy-schmancy stuff because it says I don't have IE8 and SP2...except that I do...have both that is. Dag Nab It! However, we will save a few bucks a month for the next year so...
Because of all the early-milkin', tractor-pullin' shenanigans I was in the house by 5:30 ish, with laundry done, supper (which no one ate) cooked, a fresh crumb-topped apple pie on the counter (made by Liz. stole the pic from her too). It was so quiet (except for every ten minutes or so when another tractor went off over at the pull) that I felt like I was in the wrong house. I had a piece of pie for supper, read a good book, took doggies out and brought doggies in and went to bed early.
And they brought me home Hall's fudge......what could be more perfect?
aren't they a thoughtful bunch! ;)

Sounds like you had a nice productive AND enjoyable day...except for the Roadrunner part.

ReplyDeleteHow nice you enjoyed a relaxing evening and fudge for a treat..yum!
ReplyDeleteThat pie looks great - I've been known to eat pie for dinner and for breakfast. I love it - one of my favorite foods :)
Good luck with RR -
Okay, email me your name, tho' I am getting real tired of Facebook.
ReplyDeleteHaving some time to yourself, without lots to do, nothing to pull at you to get done, just time to do whatever you want, all by yourself is a gift! And it seems you were able to spend it well.

Pie, fudge, and a little quite time to yourself....sounds heavenly. :)
ReplyDeleteApple pie! Yippee!
ReplyDeleteI love apple pie (hint, hint)! The fudge doesn't sound that bad either.
ReplyDeleteYou did miss two good hooks by the Supernatural and Iron Eagle...lol Hope both you and Becky are doing well with the change. And if you visit the Fair make sure to stop by the Heritage Building. Jen is always in need of company.
ReplyDeleteAnon, I froze it for future enjoyment...I like to make it last...
ReplyDeleteanon, your post could have been written about my life...and this summer I never got caught up on the laundry, as I don't have a drier and have to trust to the laundry bars or clothesline. This week the washer has almost never shut off, as I have been gettin' 'er done
Joated, that is the most amazing pie!
Deb, same here! In fact that is just what I have been doing. Pis is a food group isn't it? I mean there is fruit and all....
JB, did so and thank you
LInda, it was sweet. With this good weather we have been working double time, all the time trying to get caught up and it felt so good to just crash
Dani, it was....it was...
FC, just about what I said about it. lol
Linda, just stop in for a bite...
NYV, I love watching the videos of the pulls that you guys take...all of the excitement, but kind to my ear drums. And I will stop by and see Jen when I get over. I know the fair can get pretty long.
