Gene is way ahead of me. I carry around a little old
transistor radio with me. Sure, not fancy but suits me
ok.
I have been baking for company this weekend. In the
summer I do a big baking day once in awhile and freeze
goodies back. There was a cold wave yesterday (high 94°)
and I was very successful. Peach cobbler (my home grown
peaches), banana bundt cake, applesauce brownies, boysenberry
coffeecake, cream cheese filled rolls, Chocolate chip cookies,
apricot Kolache, and a few more. If anyone was going to
rob the place they should go straight for the goodies
and pass on the electronics. LOL
School bus was across the street honking this morning,
teacher sis starts monday. No scholars here anymore
otherwise. I miss that.
I would thing the quilt guild might have an easier go of
it to just donate books to the public library on a regular
basis and let them do the work. When my guild lost storage
on site they decided nobody had a good enough back to schlep
books to and fro.
