Yesterday I took a half pound of mixed hot peppers and made a small bottle of hot sauce from them. Essentially I cut the peppers and blitzed them with salt and vinegar in a mixer before straining the mixture into a jar.
Wordle: four, my starter was CRUEL
Worked up a sweat by 8am. By cycling? Oh no, by mowing the front lawn.
Wordle in 4.
As I was getting my 17 miles in last night, I saw I had missed a phone call. Debbie needed help. I was worried, but could only ride so fast. Apparently, the neighbors’ donkey had found his way into our pasture. NOD (not our donkey) seems OK with the situation, but Minnie Pearl is not. And how did Nod get out and how do we find that spot so our crew doesn’t escape?
I’m in the office tomorrow for an upgrade, but may be available for lunch, Paulie, if you have availability.

NOD – that’s a good name.
Not sure what we are doing tomorrow- the Hooligans have a pub crawl bike ride up in Alpharetta tomorrow afternoon. Hmmmmmmm
Danger! 😀
So it finally happened – my Dad passed away at 1:19am per a text from my brother in the middle of the night. 1 more trip to Iowa, then not sure when after that we will try to figure out the house stuff. That’s no rush, and way too big of a job that none of us want to deal with……
Connie’s fall break is 1st & 2nd week of October – so probably around then.
Oh, Barb, I am so sorry. I am sending a virtual hug to you and your siblings.
I’m so sorry to hear this, Barb. You and the family will be in my prayers.
My condolences Barb. From what you were saying at lunch on Tuesday, the end was near.
Good luck with settling everything.
Barb, a similar situation happened with Kevin’s dad- we moved him to full time care and he passed 8 days later. Please let me know if I can help you out in any way, I am very handy with organization ‘n’ shit.
Yesterday’s faculty retreat went quite well, but it was ALL DAY of people, talking, panels, small groups, and at the end we have a business meeting where I have to take the minutes. I was exhausted afterwards. We went to Surin for dinner and then, since thankfully the Sox were off, after I put Finn to bed I went to bed myself.
No kid and no plans this weekend, thank the sweet merciful sunflower.
Jenka – want to come to Cedar Rapids, IA?
A friend of my mom gave me a name of a person that will come in and assess what is worth trying to sell, etc, etc – not sure if it’s an estate sale company, or not. I haven’t even looked it up yet.
There’s always the Buy Nothing Group to get rid of things we don’t want to deal with selling…….
We are actually hoping to figure out a way to sell the house to Natalie (the basement dweller brother’s daughter) – then we can give it to her AS IS, and she can dela with getting rid of stuff. (& her Dad 😉 )
Hah! If I did it would be to visit my lifelong friend Dave who lives there. I still have PTSD from clearing out Kevin’s parents’ house. FOUR full length dumpsters. *shudder*
Worth in, I would think. My sisters handled mom and dad’s, with a little help from me. I know it looks like a mountain, but I don’t think you’re in a rush… you just want to put it all behind you. One step at a time..
wordle in 5 – too many choices………
Good times, just had to call EPD to get a couple of homeless people out of the building.
Hashers no longer seem so bad. At least they leave when asked…
Home from another long day of errands and money spending. Done for today, but have one more stop tomorrow, when it’s not 94°F.
