Weekend update

We had a productive weekend here at the homestead.  

Friday, I played a bit by going to an art opening at the Dairy Barn and Kent worked on the truck.  Oh yeah, we bought a truck.  A 1981 baby blue Ford F150 pickup truck.  Straight six, as they say.  It is frickin' big.  Anyway, Kent worked on that, I saw the quilt show at the DB, and I did make some homemade applesauce.

Saturday was a play day, mostly.  I went to the market, farmacy, kroger in the morning, while Kent got some more work on the truck.  (That was our work for the day.)  Then, we went to a cookout sponsored by the Off Campus Housing division of OU.  They were trying to educate the students on how to be a good neighbor and resident of the city.  Seems like a good idea to me.  Kent wanted to go since it took place in our ward and then the students could meet their representative.  

Then it was off to the Paw paw festival.  This was a very good time.  The music was fantastic and the food was delightful.  Mostly we chatted with people.  Go figure.

Last night we went to the Appalachian Peace and Justice Network's fundraiser.  Again, good music, great food, and plenty of shmoozing.  The band was the Randys and they played a wide variety of covers.  My favorites were the Louis Prima and Dean Martin songs.  

Today, we worked.  We are still working on the garage to get it ready for the transformation.  Mainly this means cleaning it out.  Boy, do we have a bunch of stuff.   Thankfully our neighbors came over for awhile to give us a break.  Then the winds started and we all took cover.  So far, no big branches have fallen around us, but we'll see.

That's our weekend.  Busy busy.  It is supposed to cool off tomorrow, and I think this town is looking forward to it.  It's been so humid here, the cooler weather will be a welcome relief.
