    Default Thrifty Thursday, 8/26

    TGI(almost)F! I'll be headed in to work and eating lunch and dinner at home. I hope to have a productive work day as well as accomplish quite a bit housework-wise as well. How's everyone else doing?

    Today will be another no spend day.
    Washed a load of laundry and hung it outside to dry. It's nice and breezy today, so it should dry quickly. Collected 3 eggs from the hens this morning. These will be going in the freezer for the winter.
    Hoping to get some sewing done on my quilt this afternoon.

    ~Doing everything I can to get some labor going on here!
    Already spent hours scrubbing the kitchen. Have a big batch of apple butter cooking on the stove. Next up is a big turkey lunch before I put the bones in to cook for soup. Then I'll be scrubbing the bathroom.
    I'm starting to run out of things to clean, organize and cook. Maybe only two more days of projects left so this baby better be ready to come out!~

    Come to my house! I have limitless projects that could easily put a non-expecting person into labor! LOL

    Had a slow start today- waited and waited for the pool company to come clean- late again.Cleaned the garage and the bathroom out there. Picked corn, tomatoes and raspberries. Picked apples.Swept the deck and the porches. Watered my plants, inside and out.Made Baked Chicken for supper. Picked some poke for a poke salit, but too lazy to boil and rinse- tossed it out. Going to bike in a bit, then relax and watch the goof box.
