Saturday is the day we get ready for Sunday. Mormon children sing all about it from the time we begin Primary. Though I haven't sung this song aloud in years, maybe even decades, the line " . . . and we call it our get-the-work-done day . . ." still beats in my head, because that's what Saturday is and that's what our Saturday was. Here's mine and Calvin's combined check-list today:
- read the scriptures and say prayers
- make a pot of stew
- make an apple cake with a caramel sauce
- clean and spray out the garage
- spray off the sidewalks
- gather the outside toys, clean them, and put them in the garage
- put the garden tools away
- install a new water tank for the steers (which includes laying pipe, etc.)
- smoke the bacons, loins, and ham-hocks
- vacuum
- do the laundry and ironing
- regular chores (feed chickens/gather eggs/haul trash/take Dan on a walk, etc.
- live to blog about it
Oh man, we're more than ready for Sunday to get here.

That's quite the Saturday. I must say I'm impressed. We kind of failed at our get-the-work-done day this week. Maybe next time. Have I mentioned I am really enjoying having Neighbor Jane blogs to read frequently lately? Well, I am.
ReplyDeleteI made an apple cake with caramel sauce on Sunday. Owen is quite the fan. He asked for cake at breakfast. And he got it.
