On the Agenda for July 6th

We're having a baker's dozen of extra people in for dinner tonight, and ten or so extra people for lunch, so naturally, the HG and I are cleaning out the fridge. Lunch for 21 will be.... interesting. Probably English Muffin Chili Cheese snacks. Breakfast was a Dutch Puff Supper is cheating- frozen pizza, fruit salad and green salad. Fruit salad is frozen fruit in a bag.

I can't tell you how long it's been since I did my laundry, but if you could see the overflowing hamper and two loads worth spilling out onto the floor, you'd hazard a guess or call whoever it is you call to condemn the place. Fortunately, the house has four bathrooms and I NEVER have guests in mine. Not even Shasta is allowed in mine.

There will be fireworks, water fights, 'splody things, pizza, salads, watermelon, games, and more. There may be a visit to the creek.

Also naturally, since we have company, the HM has taken two of the young men over to the Rattery to pick up a great hulking secretary, a cot of ancient but charmingly green and floral demeanor, and dig through a stack of old records looking for Michael Jackson or Jackson Five albums. What are houseguests for if not to help move things?

Six packs of begonias, periwinkles, and petunias were on sale for a dollar yesteray, so naturally I bought four six packs and now have 24 flowers to transplant at once.


I have got to write school schedules soon and hope to squeeze in some at some point tonight or early tomorrow.

Six pack is not a phrase one would expect to see on this blog, eh?
