Two of the First Daughters

Word of the Day

Cashamed - Feeling guilty or embarrassed about the amount of money one has.

Shopping always seems to wear me out these days. My sister and I went out shopping for wine-making supplies. We're going to start our summer wine-making project. We're starting a bit late this year but things have been kinda busy. It'll get done. We were going to start our wine making this afternoon but the shopping took more time than we'd expected. Probably because we bought more than just the wine-making supplies. Oh well.... Tomorrow. We'll start on our project tomorrow...after breakfast.

It's been a really nice day. MC Daughter called to say that she got THE job that she'd been dreaming about. It may not pay as much as the other jobs that she'd been offered but it's the very thing that she'd been praying to find. The weather has improved. No more hot and sticky...wait...that'll change. We got a half-inch of rain yesterday. We needed it and maybe we'll get some more rain tomorrow. Hopefully I can avoid the sprinkler dance for a while...maybe next week.
