Second was stopping at Goodwill to see if they had scrubs (no) and took a walk through the housewares...snagged a Calphalon 3 quart saucier with lid for $4.50 (senior discount Tuesdays). This item is $100 new, yay! Been looking for a year for one. Pays to wait for sure.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16410460924678199830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-71363921573322962182015-09-28T10:23:20.929-04:002015-09-28T10:23:20.929-04:00How cool on the free apples and the JARS!!!!!

Too ad on the pasta maker, but good job on doing it yourself.<br /><br />Sometimes the slow cleanout allows for finding all the REAL treasures left behind.<br /><br />Yes my week was great. I was sore the night I did so much outside, but fine the next day. At least I still bounce back quickly!

Fridays I get out an hour early, before my afternoon bus, so I often head to the library: six books (two murder mystery anthologies by Lillian Jackson Brown, author of The Cat Who…series), (two books on wild birds – H is for Hawk and The Owl Who Liked Sitting on Caesar: living with a tawny owl), and a book about the ocean and another on a train ride through Siberia). Armchair travel is the best!<br /><br />Happy Belated Birthday to the G-man!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16410460924678199830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-12211228743805413422015-09-28T08:26:03.396-04:002015-09-28T08:26:03.396-04:00At The Good Man’s folks house, the cleanout and ge...At The Good Man’s folks house, the cleanout and get ready for sale continues at a snail’s pace. We were however able to collect a bushel of golden delicious apples, and TGM helped with the canning of 32 pints. I was out of pint jars, but Grandma canned also and we got 3 cases of pints and some lids there, too. A nice golf umbrella and some wooden serving bowls. Unfortunately, the pasta maker they had that looked new, wasn’t. And the plastic parts re-broke when I tried to get it going. Nevertheless, a trusty rolling pin and some sweat equity, and I made black pepper lasagna sheets with some red pepper Jimmy Nardello pieces as one layer in a cheese lasagna.

That electric bill and insurance savings are fabulous! If your muscles are sore today, do a little stretching to move the lactic acid out of them so you won’t be so sore tomorrow! Our tomatoes are stalled out on ripening, it has been too cool and overcast. I’ll give them until Wednesday, then it’ll be relish for sure.
