Another cold start to our day, 16 degrees and the temps just barely made it above freezing all day. The sun shown all day and a lot of our snow on the south facing slopes left—yea!
Michael worked on the 1995 diesel truck for most of the day—when we hauled that trailer to town the other day, we could smell brakes getting hot. Seems the emergency brake cable was the culprit—not any more, the cowboy fixed it.
For lunch we enjoyed some more of the Pioneer Woman Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork—I froze the rest in two serving sized bags—the pork will be something we can heat up quickly while traveling—when we depart the frozen north shortly after Christmas. Marty and Roz—I hope you went to the link I provided to Pioneer Woman’s actual recipe—there are a couple more steps she mentions such as using the cooking liquid to moisten the meat before serving.
Paulette asked where we go when we travel south—it’s usually anybody’s guess. Usually Arizona, one year it was Florida (too far), and sometimes Texas. This year we are stopping in Utah, Nevada and probably on into Arizona. We have lots of friends in AZ we would love to hook up with. You never know with the cowboy behind the wheel!
I spent the rest of the day working on Christmas projects—it’s a secret! But here’s something which isn’t a secret anymore—I gave Jeane her little modern quilt yesterday and she loved it—so did I!!
Tonight we are heading into town with Nancy and Geoff to see a movie—shocked?? We never go to the movies but Las Vegas is showing—it stars Michael Douglas and Morgan Freeman plus a couple others I can’t remember. And, we’ve not been to the movie theater since it has gone digital and been spruced up! Will let you know what we thought of the movie.
How nice to have mechanic in the house. One more job done.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt looks great Janna. Even I can tell there was a lot of creativity and work involved.
