Sunday Morning again

Well god morning, afternoon, or good evening to you. I hope your all having a great weekend. Mine started out pretty good. for the first time in three weeks I wasn't crewed in to work on friday night. I'm not supposed to work on Friday, so that is a good thing. I went and did mu workout, then came home and took a nap. set my alarm for 230  so i wouldn't sleep all the day away. I had a plan. I was gonna get stuff done. Yep. well, when that bell started ringing, I reached over and turned it off. then, i went right back to sleep. guess i needed more sleep. I finally woke up at 6. there went the day. OH well.

The vfw rebuilding is coming along pretty good. They are hoping it will be ready for the fourth of july. i have decided I would print out all the pics I have from all the functions I have been to and taken pics. well, yesterday I started downloading them to the costco site. that took for ever. longer than I figured it would anyway. there were more pics than I thought I had. then, for some reason, somehow I ordered them three times. I didn't need three sets of these pictures. I kept looking for the little button to empty the cart, but i couldn't find it. so I started deleting pictures. Every once in a while the page would freeze or go to a cropping page that I couldn't get out of, so I would have to reset and start again. i deleted the same pictures two or three times I'm sure. anyway, its gonna cost me 70.00 just for  the pics. I also had two of them blown up to 8x10 for the finished walls. I hope they like this gift. it will probably take a while to get them organised in an album, but that will be for another day. OH, and the empty cart button was at the very bottom of the page.

We haven't heard from Alex yet, except for the little address card he sent out. when i get done with this I will write him another letter. I sure do miss him. cant wait to see him in his uniform looking all sharp n stuff.

My blackberries are starting to come in. I have picked three times, just enough for a small pie. yesterday I made the most spectacular pie I have ever made. I had some pie crust in the freezer from the last pie I made so i thawed that out. I rolled it out and only had enough for a bottom crust. after I mixed the berries with some sugar n flour, i decided to add a little cinnamon and then I grated some nutmeg into it. then i looked up how to make a crumble top and what a great decision that was. after it was all cooked and cooled, i had a small spoon taste of it. OMG OMG OMG! i wanted to snarf the whole thing down right there. that really was the best pie I have ever made. I went and got some french vanilla ice cream to go with it and yummmmmmmm it was good. I bet I couldn't do that again if i tried.

don't know whats in the plans for today. waffles for breakfast, john requested them last night. I have to work tonight. it will be triple time for me, but i would rather have the night off. I even have to go in at ten to set up. so it will be an early nap. shouldn't be hard. its three am right now, couldn't sleep. maybe alex will call again at four. or maybe i will go back to sleep.

remember our fallen soldiers this weekend. if it weren't for them, we couldn't do this. have a great weekend.
