Sunday, June 30, 2008 - My return from vacation

Posted on Sunday, June 29, 2008 at 02:28

I'm Back!!!! Ok, I was back last night (Friday) but was busy catching up on work stuff the night just flew by - just like my vacation LOL. Whew. I enjoyed the energy expo very much. I got some great deals on discount books from the magazine I enjoy and I got to meet the editor and his daughter which was a treat. I obtained lots of info for alternative energy sources such as solar, wind, water, ect. Also there were several home made / natural soaps and lotions, info on green cleaning products, sustainable flooring, natural plasters, ect. The food was awsome!!! Organic veggie wraps, cheese curds, burgers, bratts, indian food (which was great), organic fruits/veggies, organic coffee's, smoothies, ect...... An amish family sold these wonderful cookies at 6/$1, a couple other builders and farmers with organic/natural info in that area, They had windmills up and all energy used for the buildings and exhibits was provided from them. They also had water spouts available for drinking and filling water bottles (for free) that folks purchased or brought in from home. It was an amazing experience that I intend to enjoy again next year.

Let's see, the weather here was muggy all week. It's been storming off and on but nothing too severe. Strawberries aren't ready quite yet - this coming week should be the time. The weather hasn't been cooperating and the cool May we had pushed things back a bit. Weird as we're usually picking mid-June. Can't wait to get a bunch in the dehydrators!! Yummy. I'm also planning on making some sauce an putting it in half pint jars to use over ice cream and biscuits as well as over angle food cake. I'm set with jam for a while so won't worry about that. I'll juice a flat, can the juice (unsweetened) and the mush to use for jam/jelly when I need it. The juice is also good in smoothies and other goodies.

I did get a bunch of stuff moved and organized. I've about 4 full days work in the other house left. Uff da!!! Court date is on the 28th of July so I do have a little time yet. I did take a couple days for R&R and went at a slower pace,meditated and read a book, Taffy enjoyed our daily walks, esp those 0630 ones. That was the coolest part of the day. Sigh..... It went so fast and now it doesn't seem like I had one at all LOL. Oh well. This will be a short week as well since the 4th is my holiday off. I'll be off Thurs thru Sunday since it's my weekend off too.

Well, better go catch up on things. Hope all are well.
