Boy, was I surprised this afternoon when the phone rang and a familiar voice said that she was coming back from a run to Terra Haute and she could come and visit! She parked her big truck up at the firestation and I went up and picked her up in my truck and we fixed supper together. We used to do that...years ago! Then we all grew up and have our own families and we don't get the chance to do that anymore. So it was nice to have her in our kitchen, chatting and working on supper.

We grilled chicken, made baked potatoes, (actully we microwaved them) and a green salad. With good company, what more could you want?

I also canned another 4 pints of maple syrup this afternoon. So that was my day.

Hey, I know that voice and have had that call twice. Met Rachel at the truckstop two days in a row. Seems like it was canning season and I took her a box of goodies I was canning and her supper. She didn't have but about 30 minutes so we sat in my car and visited. Had a nice visit together.
Now you tell me, after supper is over, sorry I missed it, sounds good.

WHERE ARE THE LINKS ON YOUR BLOG? I CAN'T NAVAGATE AROUND TO THE OTHERS VERY HANDY WITHOUT THEM.

HEY, HOW ABOUT A MAPLE SYRUP TASTING PARTY? WE COULD BRING EMPTY BUCKETS TO CATCH SAP IN.

Hey there! Have been to Terre Haute a number of times - my son went to Rose Hulman for 4 years, so made the trek a bunch of times (about 3 1/2 hours for us) Great job on the syrup!

Maple syrup party. Hmmmmm. Never thought of that, could be a fun thing to do. Yvonne you are invited too, if we actually do it. I'll have to think about this a bit.
