Stuff everywhere....
Damn I hate when I lose the post to my blog I was working on....
Needless to say we had quite the Thunderstorm this afternoon...the kind where there is so much water the street drains can't handle it and we get our little private lake for a while. There were many occasions over the years when the neighborhood would congregate after a storm like that for a little fun tubing and boating on "the lake" until it finally drained.
We spent yesterday in Montpelier going through Granny's condo trying yet again to not accumulate more than we wanted of her belongings. Ok Ok...I'll take that great roaster pan, and cooling racks...and cookie cutters and it would be a darn shame if that big old batter bowl ended up in the dump heap. My goodness, no wonder those woman of old were sturdy...that big old pottery mixing bowl is great but it's heavy...I can't imagine having to hold that thing while mixing up my cake batter! I will make a great bread bowl too...hhhmmm...so when was the last time I made bread, you say? It's been awhile.
I might have mentioned we are going to Brazil in October...Thanks to Tom Ridge and his band of homeland scrutiny folk, we have to obtain visas for entering Brazil...a little tit for tat now that the US is requiring foreign folks to be photographed and fingerprinted upon their entry into the US. Thanks Tom. Anyway...we made the requisite trip to Kinkos for new passport photos (they want recent photos to go along with your passport. so being a typical Vermont Saturday morning, you just never know who you'll see out and about conducting their business. This morning, our former governor and president wannabe, Howard Dean happened to be in Kinkos with us. Now I sometimes go out not looking quite my best, maybe my ball gown and tiara were at the cleaners, doncha know...but please, I thought Howard's old T-shirt and jeans was just a little off putting. Oh well, he's private citizen Dean now and I suppose he just doesn't have to get all gussied up to hit the Kinkos...you'd think he'd have his own copier, though, ya know? snort...no I don't know what he was doing there, I thought I'd give him his space and not gawk....much.
Whew...it's been a short and busy week at home. Back to new London tomorrow sometime.....have a good evening all.
