A Social Day
Once the beds had been stripped and the laundry going, it was time to do a bit of dust bunny hunting. Saturday’s mean taking a Swiffer and skidding and sliding over all the floors. It is amazing what is captured. Dennis thinks there are more people living here than are fessing up.
The VFW in town had a local vendor’s show. I have several gals that have small home businesses that I wanted to support. I looked, I touched but there was nothing that came home with me. A sign of contentment.
The Odin Craft Mill does a spring and fall show. This year they did a Christmas show starting the day after Thanksgiving and open every day. December 8th will be the last day. I had not gone to any of the events in the last several years. Odin is only eight miles from St. James and I was curious. After being open for nine days, there was still an abundance of items to take in. I looked, I touched and did come home with some eatable items. Dennis will enjoy the caramel popcorn and the small squares of various fudge favors. I was able to ferret away a few goodies for the times when Carrie’s and Kevin’s can make it over for Christmas. Who would look in a sewing studio for Christmas treats!
The gal who owns the property at Odin for the craft mill will be coming over sometime next May. Nancy said she would be over after the spring show to dig up some Hosta. Yes, I am serious about cutting way, way back in the flower gardening.
This evening we were entertained by four deer just a bit after five. They must be hungry or just sociable. Dennis gets the greatest thrill in this. It’s a good thing.
Tomorrow promises to be another good day in regard to temperatures. It has been great to have our concrete driveway totally cleared of snow and ice. Our neighbor Randy has a total gravel driveway that makes a horseshoe shape around their home. With using his tractor and snowblower on the gravel, these warmer days have made for a great horseshoe shaped ice rink. Hmm.
