Planning for a yard sale

We are planning for a yard sale one week from now. Hopefully we'll make
some money. I am also trying to get the Trans Am posted in the Trader so
we can make some money off that too. So far we have a kitten, a puppy and
the birds to find homes for. I am also looking at all the furniture we can
sell. We'll also have clothes, books, kitchen supplies, toys, and a bunch
of other stuff to sell. I am really hoping it will help us out with some
money.

The boys are playing card games right now and I am about to start my tasks
for the day. I have to clean the fridge, wash down appliances and drawer
fronts, mop the floors and clean the bathrooms. Fun fun fun!

Happy Father's Day

I took the boys to church today expecting a Father's Day service, instead we had flower communion. It was nice anyway. They did have a blurb that went something along "Here's to all the Fathers...". The boys and one other child were the only ones in RE today. They did Dr Suess "Oh Say Can You Seed" and learned all about plants. It was pretty cool. Flower communion was nice, I guess... I was greeting so I really didn't hear the service, but I was quite content watching Elizabeth make coffee while I taste tested the coffee Heehee. After service let out I ended up with all the left over flowers to take home and plant. Cool beans! We planted some, some are going with us to Spiral Scouts tomorrow and a couple are going to Nana's house for Nana and Vickie. We have quite a few plants going outside now and Miles' tomato plant have 5 tomatoes on it! WOOHOO!
 
Well, the Dam in Libby isn't about to flood all of Libby, MT. It's just working at full power for the next few... Weeks, I think... To pump out the water and the river is high right now. I found this out when I called and wished Daddy David a Father's Day. Funny, I am 30 years old and still call him Daddy David LOL.
 
I also called and wished Dad Kurt a Happy Father's Day and got to talk to Kevin. He's on leave and heading to England tomorrow for his next orders.
 
Overall it's been a nice day. And now I must go to sleep. I'll be cleaning and going to Spiral Scouts tomorrow.

The ever elusive ice cream truck

For the last few weeks we have heard an ice cream truck off in the distance. Now, living in the country, this is a wonderful thing since no ice cream trucks EVER come down our street... In fact, this one hasn't come down our street either. But each time we hear it, we grab a few dollars and run to the yard and wait to see if it is coming this way or not. So far it hasn't.
 
And on to Libby, MT news... I just spoke to my to be Sis-in-law, she said the dam is full to the max and they are ready to evacuate. They plan on releasing the water from the dam so it doesn't break, but when they do let it rip, there's a chance that Libby, MT will be flooded or wiped off the map (as sis-in-law says) so we are waiting to see what happens. I am expecting a call soon.
 
AND I am watching what I think is a bonfire off across the valley. It is usual around this time of year for the churches to have bonfires after their VBS week. So far it seems to be controlled and doesn't seem to be burning down the trees near it... But I'll be watching it.
 
And my neighbor said that someone spray painted his van with black paint and the lady on the land next to his. So we're on the lookout for suspicious activities. Not that I'll be much help, mind you. I don't go outside often and I have tint over my windows so I won't see much... But I am still looking.
 
Til next blog...

Journals and such

I have been finding all my partial journals here and there while I am cleaning. I would really like to get them all togther one day, into one book. It might be interesting. I found some as far back as 1990. Anything before that is gone, I am sure. But it has been interesting to read back through them. It's like reading someone else's life. I remember it all but it is so interesting b/c I don't remember the stuff until I start reading it. Very cool.

AND... It's Chop and Brown day!

I say chop and brown day because it is easier to say than "chop, dice, slice, grate, blanch, brown, sautee, soak, flash freeze and prepare day". Much much easier. I have onions, beef, chicken, pork and a bunch of other stuff to cook for the next two weeks. I am getting all the meals prepped and frozen (just like the one's you'd buy at the store already made). Makes the weeks go by easier. I already have oatmeal sorted into individual meal bags and have teh hotdogs frozen, the chicken recipes ready to go and I must get to cooking. I'll post my process tonight should anyone be interested.

Dotchi! Off to chop and brown... Yea, that is a LOT better.

Renaming my blog

Oh my gosh! I realized that when we move, I can't keep calling my blog "The Baker's Acres" anymore. We won't have acres... unless we just rent. (We're still thinking about that). So I am taking names for the new blog when we move.

I thought of "The Baker's Anchor" as the new title. So tell me what you think. Do you like it?
