Laundry and Rain - At Home in Packers Country

Tweet

I'm taking a well-deserved break. With the pool closed for cleaning, I'm able to spend more time on Thread of Evidence and get notifications done here. At least that's the plan. Yesterday, being Sunday, and not a day my son normally has off, I messaged him to find out when his day off was this week, so I could get laundry done. Yesterday, and Friday. Friday would be too late, I would be out of clothes. Yesterday was perfect, almost. If. Ever notice how big that tiny word is? If I had waited another five minutes and taken the clothes from the dryer and come home, I wouldn't have been caught in a deluge. However, that's not quite what happened. My grandson asked me if I would like to go to supper at The Golden Corral, an all you can eat buffet. Now, mind you, when I left the church, I had thoughts about going out to eat, instead of figuring out what to eat. However, I know the state of my checkbook before next week, and that wasn't an option. I did set out turkey legs to thaw and made up a great vegetable combination: summer squash, Bella sliced mushrooms and onions. My daughter gave me the summer squash, so it was huge, and I still have leftovers in the fridge, along with the two turkey legs, which I'll have for supper. With the option laying before me, I told my grandson, I would love to go to supper, his treat. He wanted steak, and I was his ride. Now, I knew there was the possibility of rain in the forecast. Being where I live, I don't pay too much attention to the forecast, because the rain usually goes above or below us, and rarely touches us. It touched us. As I said, the clothes were five minutes from coming out of the dryer when we left. It wasn't raining. It started lightning before we got to the restaurant. Still no rain. We went in, had a wonderful supper. I had two medium rare steaks, a large baked sweet potato, some fruit, and a large helping of seafood crab salad. Now that last item might not be on the Paleo diet, but all the ingredients are. I just don't know about the seafood dressing used. Man, it was delicious! We got outside the restaurant and the heavens opened up. I had a hard time seeing to drive. It was also later than I like to be out, as it was starting to get dark, without the rain. The rain made it really dark. With it coming down as hard as it was, I decided it would be best to bring the laundry home today. I waited until 11:30 before I left to go get it. It rained all morning. Now, I'm not complaining about the rain. We need it bad. Hopefully, it was enough to start to turn our grass green again. I did time it right, as the rain is done for today. Though, we have a seven-day forecast with rain every day. And I'm not complaining about that either. So, I've been working on my book since about 5 this morning, and just finished the chapter I was working on that whole time. It was only 25 pages, with 70 errors. I've now found all the errors, and I'm going to take a couple hours to interact with you and try to get the 200 notifications under control. I know this is long, but I haven't been here much, and I thought you might want to know how things are going. So, how are you doing? I will get to all the notifications, but I might not get completely caught up before I finish Thread of Evidence. I also talked to my son about the map, and that will be started soon. I will be publishing in September. By the way, I've had a running dialogue going on in my head the last several days. Thread of Evidence will have a sequel. That's my news. What's yours? Thanks for reading.
