Actively living on the Prairie.
I hope to load the car at least once a week with things
that will be donated to ministries and thrift shops.
Over the week-end, we gathered Yard Sale items and placed in the car.
Hubby
put up a new Garage Lamp and she's lighting up the back yard.
Then we put on our moving pants AGAIN and moved the pencil desk back upstairs.

Who needs a gymnasium when one can move pieces of furniture
on a regular basis? Cross training.
Brought the little chest of drawers downstairs where she now sits
beside Hubby's Family room overstuffed chair

in which he will fill the drawers with art supplies.
Winter is coming on and the evenings will be used for drawing.
The stereo was placed on top of this chest.
Music on instead of television!
I use to listen to teaching tapes for hours on end instead of watching the tube.

~Columbus Day~
As I drove over to Manhattan, the scenery is beautiful to behold.
Autumn colors are over taking the landscape. The car was loaded with those bags of good clothing that were to be taken to THE GOODWILL. There's a new store in town with a drive-through drop off. Wanted to try this facility out. Easy enough to drop off donations as the car tires run over a dinger to alert workers that someone is dropping off stuff.
Due to Monday being Columbus Day,
Lil Miss didn't have school so I thought it would be a great day to have a Lunch Date
with Lil Miss's Mom and meet up with my Husband.
with Lil Miss's Mom and meet up with my Husband.
Caesar Salad for me.
After we ate, Lil Miss and I did the drop off at the Goodwill.
Drove back home, rested and then dressed up for a Miss Beatrix Potter Tea at 4.

A wonderful time to have an afternoon snack.
A delightful time.
Miss Potter had a special teacup for me!
A Grandma Cup.....I was honored.
I sipped Cherry Tea out of a lovely porcelain Teacup and snacked
on a miniature Fudge Chocolate Cupcake
off of a porcelain saucer decorated with Beatrix Potter artwork.
Miss Potter (Linda Mackey) reads Beatrix Potter stories to the children,
serves a treat with tea, plays games or does a craft.

Hubby and I drove back to our Hometown
and had supper at the Grill.
Taco Burger and a diet Root beer for me
and Tacos with diet Root beer for Hubby.
As we were leaving, one of the customers recognized us
and made a funny by commenting about us being the Paxico Meatloaf Royalty....so I
waved my best royal hand wave that I could and nodded to my faithful servants. Ha. Was funny.
My Daughter and I had the 2011 winning meatloaf
and Hubby had the 2012 winning meatloaf.
Vowing to write a Meatloaf Book with the winning recipes
to share with all.

In the mean time, I will continue trying other recipes out
for fun and feast.
for fun and feast.
Tired in the evening.
After a busy week-end, Monday nights are deliberately slow paced
to let us rest up for the coming week.
It must seem like I talk alot about food....and I do,
to let us rest up for the coming week.
It must seem like I talk alot about food....and I do,
but alot of conversation comes while eating together.
Know what I mean?
Better run.....off to do something fun while Lil Miss is home.
Thank you for visiting my place today!
You're a blessing!!!
