Tuesday, July 7, 2026 - Still Home, 0 Miles, 0 Miles For The Trip
I guess the heat last week spurred on the blueberries. Still lots of green berries, but the two earliest bushes are producing. I vacuum packed and froze 2 pie bags (5 1/2 cups) and will take one of them with me for the pies at Bolerama. I also picked a quart of Cascadia Sugar Snap peas and will take them on the trip for salads. Unfortunately, I suspect they will be done in by the time I get back. Kyle will water them, but 2 weeks in this weather is asking for a miracle. I hope the flowers in the front flower box hold up. Not all that much work to plant, but I've been doing them for years.
The weather is a bit cooler, but is is still summery. It has been hitting the 80's during the day and only going down to the 70's at night. Since I have trouble sleeping with temperatures above 68°F (I prefer 63°F) I have the bedroom AC set at 68°F overnight. Can't wait to see National Grid's bill this month.
I have finished packing everything but the last minute items in the truck & trailer. I use a 4 page check list that goes by the cabinets, drawers & shelves in the trailer with a check box to mark when it is packed. I have found this useful to make sure I have everything I plan to take. I still usually discover something that I missed!
The truck is parked on the lawn so the Guidos can back their trailer into the driveway. It makes starting out a bit slow because they have to pull out to the road so I can get to my trailer to hook up. Luckily, we have little traffic on our road after a morning rush to deliver kids to Camp Hollis down the road.
Guidos arrived around 5:00.

We went to Rudy's, a local fish & Texas Hot stand on the lake around 2 miles from the house. I had their fried shrimp dinner.
Until Next Time -
