Almost Self-Reliant


Did our civilized visit on Saturday. We had to go to Batesville to return the light to Lowes that we picked up for my plant table project since it had to be hard-wired into the existing electrical system...not happening in the '75 Broke Down Palace. Finally found a corded light that has a connector to link up more of it's kind together...we sooo see this being added to certain areas in the future cabin. Figured we'd find a new filter for the ShopVac while we were there but NO, they don't carry that brand at HD. As we were making the left onto the main road, we saw the Tractor Supply sign off to our right...


Got to moms, started laundry and went out for an early dinner to celebrate our official wedding anniversaries. They were on the 12th but I was the one who didn't remember the "official" date.

We went to an awesome Mexican restraunt, El Acupolco (spelling ???). Mom and I ordered the Quail and totally threw our waiter for a loop.



Got back to moms and checked the lettuce/mesclun patch...we have sproutage!!!

Took the dogs for a walk and enjoyed the nice evening. Last visit, when we did the pond-walk...mom thought she saw a turtle. We threw rocks at it for 15 minutes before she called it off as "not a turtle".

Doc and I will be starting a project over there, this coming Saturday that involves "junk pallets" and the "slapped-together-retaining-wall-that-isn't-our-fault". l'll make sure and get a lot of pix of before/during/after.
I think our Indian Summer is upon us. We had the heat on for a bit these past couple of nights, just to knock the chill/damp off. Today we hit 82F and it's still 70 at this time of night and supposed to be this way until Saturday. I've got the windows open and the fan going.

Well, gonna close this for now.
