Shopping Day

We woke up this morning to snow lightly falling. The snow continued through the day but only accumulating a little more than an inch on top of the 9 inches earlier. I was very glad we left yesterday to deliver Royal, the roads this morning were slick and besides not having to drive the truck and trailer there was a funeral that needed singers so I was off to church by 9:15am. Once back from the funeral I drove to 2 different banks, made deposits, then off to Sams Club where I promptly spent $535.00 on supplies for the New Year's Eve party. Kroger was next on the list for the drinks (soda, chocolate miik, 2% milk and egg nog) and that was another $75.00. My budget was $600.00 as mom donated also and only went $15.00 over. The car was so full of groceries it had to be emptied before going any where else. It was driven out to the Old School Center were I met up with Spark and his son in law Jay. The three of us had the car emptied and all the supplies put away in the Old School Center kitchen within 15 minutes and back home I headed.
Called Mark to see if he wanted Chinese food for dinner but he had that for lunch so came home and made a pot of chicken noodle soup for dinner.
We are pretty tired, Rhoda came home around midnight from her house sitting job, then Sarah got in from Haiti around 2:00am. Darcy came running in our room this morning before 6:00am so we hauled ourselves out of bed and down the stairs to let her bring in the paper. She ran down the stairs, grabbed the paper and ran into the side yard, then around the house to the back door still carrying it so she got a treat once inside.
Diane and Mike are on their way to look at a 4wheeler for Horsemeister. It needs repair but Mike thinks he can fix it. Mike's was stolen out at the Middle Grove farm and the one at the Hanna City farm is now not fixable. 4Wheelers are a very necessary tool for a farm. Of course the puppy went with them. She has been so good for Diane, she loves her bag and when tired will find the bag, crawl in it and fall asleep.
