Saturday--Fun with the Sisters
Jun. 18th, 2017 07:39 pmTammy and Kim had stayed overnight with Mom on Friday night, but I slept at my own house--there were not enough beds for me to have my own bed. Kim offered to sleep on the couch so I could stay over, but I said no. I have a perfectly good bed at my own house just across town.
In the morning, Mom called and said they were making pancakes. By the time I got there, they were all done eating and the pancakes and sausages were cold. :( I ate them anyway. But I was disappointed that they didn't wait for me to get there.
We had planned to go have our toes done in the afternoon, but Tammy was worried about the weather as she drove the pickup and pulled the trailer--in a driving rainstorm, it would be hard to drive it. Also, Kim has some kind of fungus on her big toe nail and doesn't want to get her toes done until it clears up. One of Tammy's friends wanted her to pick up some vegan cheese from my sister Joni who has learned to make vegan cheese and meat. She has been selling it at the farmers' market and doing very well on it. She made $500 this weekend on just her vegan stuff. They had no veggies ready to sell this time around--usually she makes a lot of salsa too. Last weekend, she sold 70 pints of salsa at $5 a pint. It is damn fine salsa, too.
I drove the four of us to Joni's place so Tammy could get the cheese and see Joni's baby goats. The triplets are still really little as they are miniature goats. The first baby is a full-size goat, so he is getting big. He still thinks he is a lap dog and wants Joni to hold him. He is so adorable. I enjoyed playing with Peppy, her Jack Russell terrier. He is such a cute little shit--so friendly and playful. Every time I see him, he seems to remember me and think I am his very bestest friend ever.
Joni and Jeff wanted to go to the parade in Owatonna--it was some kind of band festival, so we headed home to Ellendale again. We had the pasta salad I made for lunch and the strawberry rhubarb pie for dessert. It was so delicious. We just hung out and talked until Tammy left after 1 pm. Kim stayed until about 5 pm. We tried to get her to stay another night, but she said she had way too much to do.
I stayed at Mom's until about 8:30 pm, just so she wouldn't feel all alone after having people with her for so long. There was a really heavy rainstorm around 7 pm. The rain just came down in sheets--it lasted for about 45 minutes. I didn't do much when I got home--I watched a little TV and snuggled with my kitties. I made sure they had plenty of food and water before I went to bed.
