One More
When Dennis comes in and asks for “One more favor” I put down what I am doing and get it done. His one more could fill volumes. It reminds me of when Megan was little. In thinking we had her settled, she would come back with “Just one more.” I have kidded him that some day when my ashes are returned to him in a shoe box, Dennis will open the lid and say “Just one more favor.” It didn’t take Dennis long for him to come back with a comment. Yup . . . I will have one more favor. . . “Please can I come with.” Priceless.
There was one more Cricut cutout that Dennis wanted. It had not been included in the purchase packet of decals that we had ordered. Dennis wanted the shift pattern placed on the tractor. That sounded doable. Dennis got the Cricut out and side by side we decided what size, etc. We got it on and Dennis was pleased as could be. The next step was for him to take off all the paper that he had used to protect the tires. Even the seat got a coat of white. Well done and I believe the tractor is done.
After we had the Cricut project done, I got back to what I had been doing in the kitchen. Today was the day to pull the kitchen range out and do some tidy, tidy work under it and around it. God bless the felt pads Kevin put under it. It slides out slick as a whistle.
I think it was time to expand the cookie options. Molasses and peanut butter are great but enough was enough. I found a recipe for Mound cookies. Great! I had some coconut that needed to be used up. It was a bit dry but I really chopped it up fine and I knew it would soak and expand in the batter. Good grief. It asked for 2 cups of coconut and 5 cups of chocolate chips. It also asks for 4.5 cups of flour . . . a large batch indeed. In regard to the chocolate chips, I only had four cups and called it good. All that is left is to tuck some in the freezer, right next to a bag of molasses cookies. It is great to have some on standby.
It is heading on five in the afternoon and we are having rain showers that are quite strong. Just when we thought the mowing of the acre was dwindling down. This will perk everything up. Who knew!
