Ok. I guess if I sat down and kept track of the things I do each day, and I plan to, really, I would be able to give a chronologically accurate description of what I've been doing. But, as it stands I will just write it down as it pops into my head and hope for some semblance of order.
I had mentioned that we were going to help Susan with the morning chores for the goats. After not waking up on time, and taking longer than expected to get the kids through grabbing a breakfast on the run, I actually got service on my cel phone and saw that I had a voice mail. This in itself was cool because after changing cel phone service a few months ago I didn't realize that I had to set up my voice mail. I thought it would at least automatically go to that recorded voice. apparently not. While in Connecticut, people were trying to get a hold of me and getting weird messages that made it seem as if I didn't have cel phone service at all anymore. I called AT&T to find out that my voice mail had expired because I hadn't signed on to it in time. After sorting that our and trying to find a place where I had service to jump through a few hoops, I got my voice mail set up. Mind you, I got service on a very windy beach so I could only hope that I had heard the computer voice correctly. So, when I listened to my first voice mail, I thought the vioce said I had 200 messages. Instead it had said 2 unheard messages. When I thought it was 200 I could only hope that it played the most recent ones first! Well, to make a long story just a little bit longer, it was Pat of Susan and Patrick fame saying that they had forgotten about needing to be at the West Tisbury Farmers Market so they had to take care of the goats at 5:30 and hadn't thought that we wanted to start our day that early. I had to agree. I do draw the line at 4:30 wake ups, even for fiber animals. So, the kids and I took our breakfasts back to our cottage and watched Animal Planet.
We went to the Farmers Market and I got to buy some of Susan's yarn. The stuff we had dyed the day before wasn't dry yet, but her colors are so pretty. I hung out with Susan and Harry while David and the kids did the whole farmers market thing and went to the playground. the playground is a good old fashion one with one of those spinning rides that have been deemed too dangerous and likely to cause law suits in most other places. My kids had a bast! i am so bummed I forgot the camera cord for the computer. Grr Arggh!
There is much more to say, but the family is waiting. My BIL and his wife arrived yesterday and we are off to another Farmers Market. Maybe we will get some food this time!
I promise links to everything when I don't feeling so rushed.
