More power cooking!

yesterday it was ribs. But first DH had to shop for a few vegetables we had forgotten Wednesday. The list he had read something like this: celery, onions, carrots, microwave. We had comparison shopped and found a brand name at Superstore, at a good price. Well it turns out they were sold out, so off he went to Walmart. The local store was also sold out, but they had one at a store all the way across town. They were willing to hold it for 20 minutes, so off he went. Now, you must understand that DH doesn't shop. If he goes with me it is with protestations all the way, but he still insists on going, just to make sure that I don't buy anything we don't need. So all of his travels and efforts were accompanied with phone calls home, to let me know what was going on. But a funny thing happened to him. He ran into people he knew. He talked to other men. I know how much he misses the company of other men, now that he spends most of his time at home alone. When he runs into them in stores etc he loves to spend a few minutes chatting. Yesterday he seemed honestly surprized at having enjoyed himself, when he told me about it.

We baby sat the youngest grandchild yesterday afternoon, and then DD and the four year old came to pick her up, but first had to help us eat the ribs. DD told us that they had attended an information session for parents of children starting school next fall. How time flies!! They didn't leave until almost 9:00. By that time I was exhausted, and fell into bed. No sewing yesterday.
