I am lots of hard work activites on walk 20 minutes It is very pretty good work process :D
 
Well - today, I had a late start. Hubby and I went to drop off a signed paper to the Town Hall to get ready for construction. We dropped of another signed paper to the Property Appraiser's office to have MIL's 2 lots split back into 2 separate lots and then we went to the Health Depart to drop off the check and 2 signed applications for the permit to get our septic tank application. Now, we just need to get the appraiser here for the loan, and to get the permit sometime in the next 2 weeks for the septic tank and we are in business.
 
I did some outside work this evening and then I watched Dennis Rodman enshrined in Hall of Fame. :rockon: My favorite basketball player of all time. He was amazing and wild man. I sported his red jersey. :)
 
I try to watch tv with no cc. No good. Babysitting my sleeping nephew. Boooooring. Want to wake him up to play with me. Maybe not good idea.
 
did a 4 hrs walk with my dogs today, they had a ball and now they will sleep good while i go out to Deaf club..

5 onions, quartered
2 bell peppers, chopped
6 cloves garlic, chopped
1 bunch green onions, chopped
6 qt. water
6 tbsp. flour
6 tbsp. oil
2 1/2 lbs. cut okra
Salt, pepper, onion salt, garlic salt and cayenne pepper to taste
6 lbs. headless shrimp
6 lbs. gumbo crabs
Gumbo file

In large pot boil vegetables in water until the vegetables settle to the bottom. In another pot make a dark brown roux with flour and oil, stirring constantly. Fry okra with a small amount of grease and salt until okra is soft (avoid sticking).
Stir okra into gumbo. Season to taste. Allow this to cook for 3 hours. Seasoning will weaken during prolonged cooking, so season periodically. Peel and devein shrimp. Discard feelers from crabs and use claws and body (cut body in half). Add shrimp and sectioned crabs to gumbo and cook for an additional 30 minutes. Serve over rice. Add a small amount of file to each serving. Serves approximately 20.

Mmmmmm! Gumbo.

So far, I 've drunk coffee. One mustn't be too ambitious. Maybe grocery shopping today. Almost out of bread and milk.
 
Well - too hot to think, but, I have dusted, cleaned walls, pictures and windows, vacuumed, swept and mopped the whole house. Cleaned two bathrooms and changed out a litter box. Took hubby and kids to Lowe's to get some kind of chain saw for tall soft branches. (Neighbor behind the garage refuses to cut his own trees and says, if we want them trimmed, have at it, he doesn't care, he can't afford to get them taken out.) So, the boys are cutting them on our side of the fence. Then, by the grace of G*d, then will also be taking down 2 palm trees. Both of them are taller than the garage. One of the neighbors will supervise my son on the ladder cutting and help when needed. Other than that, I have done a minor grocery shopping. Hubby had a small paycheck, so I could only get enough to get us through to Wednesday, when I get my check.

Well - MIL couldn't do it and she decided to invite a family of 7 over for a visit tomorrow. They are from the Bahamas. So, I started at 7 this morning and now, am so sore, it's hard to walk. If MIL had given me more notice, I could have paced it out over the week. Seems, she invited them on Monday, but didn't tell me until 11pm last night.

This is the only way I've done it. I usually boil some cinnamon sticks when I do our two pots. One pot of vinegar, then 2 pots of water per coffee pot. We do ours monthly.
 
I use vinegar to mop the floor, too. No residue and acidic enough to kill some germs.
