I missed posting yesterday, not because of time, for I had a lot of it; not because of a lack of topics, because I had a lot I wanted to say yesterday; not because I forgot to, because I thought of it several times, but I was distracted each time by something or someone. Lots of phone calls came in with messages for either Beverly or Liz. I was emailing, it seemed all day - The day was full in one way and yet I could have posted a very good blog - but most of what I was thinking of yesterday is… Continue

I wanted to get some fresh cauliflower for part of our dinner; suggesting we get some we took a chance and drove out to the Green Pig Market. It was our first time, everything looked great.

I got back to work today but I'm very tired - thought of not working tomorrow but I think I'll get up early and give it a good try.
