I'm trying to get everything done that needs doing before HTP and I get "the call" from DD Daughter or GI Joe that Ms. En's little brother is getting ready to make his big debut. DD Daughter called us to let us know that all signs are in place pointing toward the big debut within the next few days. HTP has gone off to get his hair cut. Me? I just washed my hair. I could use a hair cut too but...it'll have to wait. As soon as HTP and I get the call, we'll toss our suitcases in the car, take Gypsy over to my folks, pick up #1 Son (if the event occurs over the weekend), and head off to meet our first grandson.

I've got a bunch of tomatoes sitting out on my counter, ready for canning but, I'd rather have a few more accumulated before I start canning. The ones on my counter and be transferred to the fridge until the ones I've got sitting by the window are ripe enough for canning.
