January 5, 2024

My day turned crazy mid-stream, but it was a good crazy and only a little stressful. All turned out well as you will see. I started out the day doing laundry and starting a pot of veggie soup. I had some errands to run, most especially getting honey — I ran out and hadn’t had time to track some down. Gotta be local, ya’ know!!! I bought a larger jar of the wildflower and a small sample of the clover. I’ll see once and for all which I like best! Miller’s Crossing has local honey – while I was there I walked around. I love Fleatiques!

Stocked up – local honey
Biggest cookie cutter ever!
Yep!

Since I gave Autmn some of my tea bags yesterday I stopped on the way home and got more. They don’t always stock them and I wanted to make sure I had a nice supply. I was just putting the soup together when Autmn txt me and said the formula they ordered was on delivery delay and Cameron was stuck! I turned off the soup and buzzed to Mt. Pleasant, got two cans of Enfamil, and dropped them off. Cameron was visibly relieved!

Relieved!

Of course, I couldn’t just walk back out the door! I had to stay and play for a few minutes. He was in a happy mood, playing Hokey Pokey, This little Piggy, and Creepy-crawly. He even tried to do sit-ups! All the while he was smiling and trying to explain everything to me.

Long explanation

I was just getting ready to leave when Sir Rege called – they had a customer on the car I was driving. So I bid a quick adieu and zipped to Jeannette – transferred everything out of the Cherokee and loaded it into the Compass, which had very little gas. With the snow storm pending (or NOT!!!) I went straight over to fill up the gas tank.

With everything tossed in a bag in my car, I made a quick stop at home, grabbed the Oreo Ice Cream and headed over to Kathy’s. We had our planning meeting for our spring trip to Biltmore. We picked a date and even talked to a lady from Reservations, and found that it will be tulip season when we are there! We have a few other stops on our list, including a visit to The Mitford Museum in NC. That is the museum based on the Mitford novels by Jan Karon – one of my super favorite authors! We have all of her books! So I’m excited about all of that.

Autmn sent me a txt after I left – she put together his walker/car and he loves it!

‘Mommy’s not the only one with a learner’s permit!!!’

Kathy sent me some old snow pictures – I guess to get me in the mood for tomorrow! These are all from several years ago.

I got home about 8pm or so, and here I sit. I heated the soup up and added the alphabet noodles. That will be lunch tomorrow, after I change my bed sheets and move all the stuff back into my car. It was a good day!

Finished product

The answer to yesterday’s puzzle (CONSIDERATE) was the phrase ‘care is noted’. I think that was kind of lame but hey – whatever! Tomorrow’s puzzle is a Sudoku, which I have never done. Good luck.
