I thought I’d have time for lots of little projects and a lot of nothing – but it’s 6pm and I left a lot undone! I did go over to Walmart for some normal type groceries after Chase and I ate breakfast. Yes, he was awake early enough to want breakfast! We had French Toast. I did some laundry, then decided to make one of the treats for my Pinnacle guys. So I melted the dark chocolate and made the chocolate covered peanut butter pretzels.
Milk chocolate from the other day and dark chocolate from today.
Once that was cleaned up, I decided to clean out the toy/book closet at the bottom of the stairs. I have two shelves of writing reference books, and some of them I know I won’t need or read again. I sorted them into three categories. One: KEEP! Two: take to my old writer’s group and see if anyone wants them. Three: History and research books that could be useful for non-writers. I heard JD (History Traveler) make a plea for old history reference and txt books. I know I won’t be going to Gettysburg any time soon, but if I find a way to get them there I’ll donate them. I also have some DVD’s that I’m passing along, which I will offer to Kelly and Kathy before I decide what to do with them next.
Books and movies being donated. But no, not the Elmo or the skunks!
But I got the remaining items sorted and re-shelved then went through Cameron’s toys and books. There were things that just didn’t work, or he didn’t like or weren’t practical for his playing style. I was able to make better sense of that closet and give him easier access to what he likes best.
I bought a little bag of black and silver glitter stars and put them in my empty honey jar. It looks nice in my kitchen! And that, my friends, is it for the day. Tomorrow I hope to make cream of potato soup (if possible) and maybe flax balls tomorrow evening or Sunday.

Armed Forces Day (England); Great American Campout; Global Smurf Day; International Pineapple Day; National Bingo Day; National Ice Cream Cake Cay; National Onion Day; National Orange Blossom Day; National PTSD Awareness Day; National Sunglasses Day.
The game BINGO or the Bluey cartoon Bingo? Just sayin’… Smurfs go WAY back! I’m not much of a camper, actually. Haven’t had an ice cream cake in decades, I think. No onion for me! But I’m lost without sunglasses. God bless…
