T2 Tuesday: Take Time Out for Treats

Tuesday was a very welcome time out from our usual busy schedule. We had nothing scheduled for the day except a date to meet cousins Jan and David for supper at Bob Evans. It was quite a treat to get up and be slowly enjoy breakfast and newspaper in pajamas.I love a day that starts at a leisurely pace.

Of course, you never want to leave us with quiet moments for too long, we always think up ways to spend money during those down times. Don was reading the classifieds, and found a small upright freezer for sale. We have been wanting a small freezer to supplement our meager freezer space for quite some time. So he took himself off to see the freezer, and I began freeing space in the garage for said freezer.

I moved things from garage into the closet in the den where we did have Mother's clothes. I emptied two cabinets, and called Sarah to see if she could use them for storage for her new place. However, Don came home and said the freezer was really very bad. So we will continue our search for said freezer. But he did stop at the farmers market and bought even better things for lunch. We enjoyed a true summer lunch: corn on the cob, fresh tomatoes, and strawberry short cake. Yum!

Sarah came by in the afternoon, but the cabinets were too large for her to use. But we enjoyed cokes and a long visit on the screened-in porch, which was surprisingly comfortable and breezy for such a warm day. I did so enjoy our visit. It was really better than getting rid of the cabinets. We are now onto Plan B as to cabinets and freezer. One dealer has several small freezers being delivered on Friday for our consideration.

Is anyone out there interested in two large cabinets, one enclosed with doors and the other an open bookshelf? I am sure there will be a solution.

And we thoroughly enjoyed dining with Jan and David. I am so glad that Jan called and planned this date. Too often we just say that we should do these things, and then never carry through. Jan says that they plan a Bronnenberg/Brizendine picnic reunion in September. We really look forward to that!
