A Surprising Saturday

I did not get to sleep as long as I would have liked to this morning, I woke up about 0700 and I could not get back to sleep, so I finally got up at 0730. When I got up I noticed that it was not raining out and that was quite a surprise as I thought that we were suppose to have rain pretty much for the next week.

Anyway, I made myself a couple eggs, sausages and raisin nut toast for breakfast. I usually do that on Saturdays since I used to not have to work on Saturday mornings and I have just kind of carried that over even when I do not have to work most days.

After I finished eating and washing the dishes, I went into the living room and read the paper. I heard the mail carrier put the mail in the mailbox before I had finished the paper, so I went and got it. After opening it and sorting it out, I finished the paper and then looked at the mail that was definitely not junk mail.

There were also a couple more catalogs, but as usual most of it was something to fill the recycling bag with. It still was not raining so I thought that I would go outside and try to get some of the bulbs thinned out and replanted.

I managed to get the bulbs dug up and replanted and while I was a mess I did some weeding as well. I did not think that there was that much, but I filled up a five-gallon bucket.

I went back into the house and cleaned up and Kathleen asked me to clean up the turkey scraps, giving Reggie the skin and fat and put the bones in the garbage. Meanwhile Kathleen had put the rest of the leftover turkey in the stockpot and was making turkey soup. One of the best things about turkey is the soup that is made afterwards.

I talked to Chucky to find out what time he was coming over to help me put the hard top on. Since it was about a half hour away, I decided to start taking the soft top off. I got it off before Chucky and Toni got here so I swept out the garage and then scrapped the moss off the driveway in front of where I park the Wrangler.

Chucky and Toni got her shortly after I finished and it only took about ten minutes to put the hard top on and tighten the screws down to secure the top. I even parked the Wrangler in the garage. I still cannot get both vehicles in the garage, but it is a lot cleaner than it has been in years.

Last year I was able to park the Wrangler in the garage, but it was really tight getting in and out. This year there is plenty of room and I still have room to work in the garage.

After that I went inside and made myself a cranberry and turkey sandwich for lunch. It was about 1415 so I did not want to eat a whole lot as we have been trying to eat the evening meal about 0700 or 1730.

Well, that was just about my day, I think that I will just say good night now as I do not think I will get into any more trouble tonight.
