Lots of rain, a bit of thunder and all is well on Stauffer Avenue. The list on the dining room table is no longer of items that I need to pick up at the grocery store. The list is now of what pots, pans, and serving dishes will be needed for Thursday. The next paragraph on the list is for tomorrow, Wednesday: chopping, dicing, sautéing and baking.

Tomorrow will also have a trip squeezed in for a quilt to be picked up in Sherburn. Sharon called and the quilt has been taken off of the long arm quilter. Needless to say, if this is the first of serious winter weather, having the project home will allow for me to keep busy and stay off of the perhaps less-than-good roads.

Dennis worked on several folding chairs that needed a screw tightened here and a screw tightened there with a bit of help with our favorite strong glue.

There is something to be said for entertaining here on Stauffer Avenue. A few items get used that are on the top shelves of the cabinets, as well as tweaking the items that are needed for everyone to sit down for a family meal at Thanksgiving.
