FUN DAY AT THE TICK

I put up another 6 quarts of refrigerator pickles this morning, while doing dishes I had to lean on the sink, back gets a little sore when I am at it for hours but I recover quickly.  Poor kitchen floor needs some attention.  Can't help but get some of that wonderful sugar brine spilt.

We went to the Wood Tick theater today and enjoyed ourselves.  Jim went fishing in the morning, he is out right now as a matter of fact, that man never seem to get tired of it and always excited to be going.
We got a call from Don and Elsie and she has some tomatoes for us so I am going to put up some salsa today.  Would like to do some either mango or black bean and corn salsa.  Maybe I will do both. 
We had a picnic in Akley's outdoor downtown park - fun statue of Paul Bunyan right there.  It's being worked on this year but I have pictures from last year that are good.  Sat with John and Darlene, Don and Elsie.  Just before we got there about 200 bikers were in the park, no not the kind of bikes that make the noise, the kind Lance Armstrong rides, yes I heard today he was stripped of all of his titles.  What a dumb thing to do, take drugs to win, if it's true that is.
Fun luncheon and a lady from the bike group gave us brownies that were light and packed with chocolate chips and carrot cake.  The frosting was amazing.  Yum Yum I say!   Jim was beside himself.
It was funny, we hurried home because we thought on the way home it was Friday, wasn't only Thurs.  We had to be at "The Pub" at 6pm on Friday for Judy Probst surprise 70th birthday party.  Just goes to show you we don't have a clue as to what day it is.
Will be a busy day because I have to make two loaves of sandwiches for the funeral tomorrow, over 200 are expected.  I don't know the woman but I will work like crazy.  So will Jim - he is good at the dishwasher and washing dishes.  The trays get heavy,

This is a picture of Dot and Nancy from last year.  Paul Bunyan is at the park where we have our picnic.  Of course both Dot's dogs Callie and Katie were there but Dot lost Katie over the winter.  She only gets rescue dogs these days and has lost three to cancer.  It's so say and I know no one on this earth that is a better dog parent than dot, except Skye is right up there too.  And me.  Hey anyone who loves their pet should be included.  We love our pets so much don't we.
