I love reading the Cow Chronicles! Keep ‘em coming!

It rained almost all day yesterday, so I did some laundry. In between prepping for our upcoming trip to meet the new (hasn’t yet arrived) granddaughter, I am planning a retirement trip for hubby and our kids next June. We have invited siblings, cousins, and their kids to stop by. Most of the family hasn’t seen much of my kids or their families for years. So a family reunion of sorts. Anyway, siblings are all asking about accommodations, and I haven’t found a place yet that is close enough by, large enough, or affordable enough. So while I have our lodging secured (renting a whole house near the beach), there’s still more legwork to do.

Also, on Monday I did a harvest of shishitos, so in the next day or two I will need to de-seed, chop, and lightly sauté so that I can freeze them for use over the winter. I tend to use these In recipes as a substitute for jalapeños or bell peppers. Or else I love them blistered, but since I’m down to my last several dozen, I think it will be a small batch if I make those again.

I’m excited and a little anxious about this trip. I don’t like flying anymore. Not because of airplanes, but because of all the people who seem to be fairly entitled these days, and don’t give a hoot how much noise/commotion they make. People have forgotten to use their manners! Say some prayers that my travels will be uneventful in this regard.
