Finally, for the first time after repeated attempts, I actually stayed awake through "The Lost Boys." The movie is only... gee... 20 years old now and I only just watched it all the way through for the first time, though not for lack of trying. I loved it! :D
We did our grocery shopping today and, with the exception of the grapes, we bought all of our produce at the farmstand on the way home. We bought a whole week of veggies for $20! We bought beets, corn, peppers, cabbage, lettuce, cucumber, scallions, tomatoes, squash and zucchini. This makes me very happy! ^_^
Now I just need to start buying local meat, eggs, cheese and cream and there's little we'll need from the supermarket. At least until the growing season is done. Which reminds me... we borrowed the freezing/canning cookbook from my Mom. We should actually learn from it and can some of these veggies so we can have the local stuff year round.
There's also a pick-your-own-blueberries place on the same road. Plus it'll be blackberry picking time soon, too, though we have to be careful of bears when we do that. Hopefully this time around we won't lose our whole frozen supply in a week-long power outage again!
Oh, and I finished Book the Fifth: The Austere Academy almost entirely in one sitting. Mmmmm.... literary potato chips...
Hey, I just realized I stopped adding quotes to my posts somewhere in the past couple days. I must go back and add appropriate quotes post haste!
