Good morning, everyone!!!
It's been a busy few days off and the next couple of days off don't look any lazier. I'm still waiting on the final review of The Lake House in paperback so I can upload to kindle. I had a minor issue with the paperback that I had to scream for help with at the last minute yesterday. We're hoping it was the easy fix.
I did spend part of the day yesterday making applesauce and apple butter. I still have one fourth of a bushel to make into apple butter which I will do this weekend. I canned twelve jars of applesauce last evening and plan to can however many jars the apple butter makes up tonight after work and watching the grandson run some plays during half time of the high school game. I work my store from morning to afternoon then work the Converse store for an hour this evening.
The weekend is already chalked full. I have my writing meeting tomorrow morning/afternoon. Then a celebration for our release of The Lake House. We have reservations at The Lake House in Geist at 5 for a celebration dinner and maybe just maybe making a few videos :) We welcome anyone who wishes to come and chat. So if you're in the area of the restaurant Saturday evening feel free to stop in and say hi!!! We'd love to see all of you!!!
I'm hoping after work tonight and the game that I will be able to get the last bits of uploading done on The Lake House and have that out of the way. Release day is Monday!!! Then hopefully I'll be able to finish up the canning for the apple butter that is already going in the crockpot. Which shouldn't be too much of a problem considering I can do this while I upload :)
At some point I want to run back over to the orchard and grab another bushel of apples. So much to do so little time. LOL.
We've made mounds of progress at the daughter's house. Which is a plus. We want to change out beds on Sunday and hopefully finish up all three bedrooms. Hubby got the new toilets in and the kitchen sink, removed the garbage disposal, and managed to get in the new facet, even though it leaks a tiny bit, he'll have to get to that next time he's home. Daughter and I cleaned the bathrooms and got the new shower head up in Bug's bathroom. He was thrilled :) We've been working on laundry each day as well and I'm pretty sure we'll get that conquered before the end of the weekend :)
Life is moving forward for sure. I just need to take a few minutes out and work on my dishes and laundry LOL and vacuum again. It's shedding season and damn, I could make an entire litter out of the hair coming off these dogs each day. I do believe I am going to look into a shedding comb and also shedding shampoo. I'll let you know how that works out LOL.
Well I guess I should sign off of here and get this day underway.
Everyone have a lovely day!!!
Blessings to all!!!
