I spent most of my day playing catch up. All the camping, and my paycheck job keep me from doing some things.
I started off working through my critiques. The guys had some good suggestions this month, and I needed to get those changes made. I woke up at 6:30 this morning and had enough time before my morning appointment.
The appointment was with my daughter for a haircut. The paycheck job is sending me to Sun Valley for a week. I have to make two presentations while I’m there, and the haircut is necessary.
I spent the rest of the day getting guest posts moving for October and November. I had a couple roughed out, but managed to get them all sent away this afternoon. I still have to build one from a friend that I’m hosting over here.
All in all, I feel pretty productive. It’s our grandson’s birthday next week, and grandma promised him a “big boy” bicycle. We took him to Toys “R” Us and picked one out. I’ll still be in Sun Valley the day of the party, but at least I got to do this.
We stopped by one of our favorite little places for prime rib and bread pudding. I managed two Leinenkugel Pumpkin Shandys while there. Shandys are always light and simple, and this was no exception. I’ve never had a beer from this brewery that I didn’t like, and pumpkin is a bonus.
That was my day. I feel productive, it’s time to update the blog, but I didn’t make any progress in my reading. I have three books from friends that I need to read, and better get on with it.
Have a nice evening everyone.
I love Leinie’s, too! I dunno that I could get down with punkin, but I’d try it. Bread pudding. Man, I can’t wait til it’s cold and I’ve got bread pudding with bourbon caramel and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Gah, that sounds so good right now!
I haven’t had a haircut in five years. I am considering a professional trim in the near future.
I was up at 6:45. I slept late and woke the people late and drove them in. It was lovely. I had coffee to the sound of Sassy’s cello and by the time we left, it was light out.
Enjoy catching up 🙂

Pumpkin beer is one of my favorite parts of the Fall. Cello music is beautiful, is she good?

She’s only been playing for two months, but the cello is so lovely, even practice pieces are beautiful. We enjoy it very much. I told The Mister, “See, if she’d chosen clarinet, we’d make her practice in her room.” LOL

Playing an instrument is a wonderful thing for kids. They learn that some things take time and dedication. Not enough kids get that lesson, and schools are eliminating music curriculums left and right. Good for her.

I must say, we live in the same school district we graduated from, and that is not coincidence. The performing arts programs are big here.

Last time your blog post made me want a pumpkin beer. Now you’ve got me wanting bread pudding. Warm bread pudding with vanilla ice cream on top. Yum.

This place makes legendary bread pudding. Served sizzling on a fajita pan, they drizzle a cup of hot Caramel over the top of the ice cream and pudding. The burnt sugar that results is wonderful.

Never got into the pumpkin beers. Tired a few and they weren’t that impressive. Though now I really want a pumpkin pie.

It was light and fun. I usually go with something darker and heavier.

Sounds like a productive day to me. Bob wants to get Berlyn a bicycle. But she’s only turning two years old! I think that’s a bit young. A big wheel? Oh, yeah!
