The first day home was spent doing washing, cleaning the trailer and car, disinfecting water carriers !! We still cannot find the clothes line and clothes pins. I know I saw them before we packed up. I'll get in there this week and do another 'sweep' of the trailer. Hubby degreased the camp stove so we're all set if we set off again this summer.
At. Baseball, ES was hit in the nose by a baseball. They were at the hospital til around 11:30 to make sure it was broken. Then YS had a doctor's appointment-- he has an inflamed ligament which attaches to the pelvic area. ( But the mess seem to be too harsh as he is in pain from the mess this am.) This afternoon he goes for an Ultrasound to make sure it is not a hernia.
Yesterday I cleaned the downstairs freezer as someone had not shut the door completely and there was some ice build up. It needed to be done anyway. It is all organized. ( Since I had had my knee operation and the other knee needs one, I have not often been down into the basement. No matter what anyone else says, it was not organized ! Hubby would buy meat because he couldn't find what he wanted in the freezer -- or he left it too late to defrost so he bought new meat ! ) We will not have to buy meat for 3 or 4 months !! Good thing we like ham - I have three of them ! And yes, there IS bacon !
Also the basement is an absolute disgrace. While I was recuperating from my knee surgery, the basement flooded again. Boxes, junk, everywhere ! My goal this year is to redo the basement so it is again livable and I can get Hubby out of the living room. There is no way we could sell the house with it being the way it is and we need to get rid of JUNK ! I am going to try and work a little bit each day to start the process.
We also need to put down the rest of the bricks by the side of the shed. I think by now the ground has settled and we need it to be safer to get under the lean to and clean up near the shed. We old people just need to do things slowly and quit before we hurt !
I have a list of things that I want to accomplish this summer and winter. Guess I'll have to let Hubby in on my plans.
Today we might go in to price Crocs- it's been three years since we last bought ours. Some models are cheaper on line so we'll see what happens. We also have NO veggies in the house so we need to pick some up. Only the peas are ready to eat right now which we had the other night and they were delicious. I also want to pick up sugar as I think I will make some jellies as I have crabapple juice as well as sour cherry juice. Our sour cherries are nearing perfection so we'll have to pick and use them.
Til everyone gets up, I'll soak my feet and do some hand sewing. I still need to. Pick up a few colours of wool to finish my stocking order. So much to do and summer is half over ! Yikes !!
