Zucchini

 There's not much happening here on the home front.

Kyle and Rod went out to... do something.

They didn't say where they were going.

Kyle is going to get one of those big square

plastic IBC tote things you put liquid in.

(Jim has one on a trailer that he uses

when he pressure washes...)

Anyhow.

Kyle is going to get one, and a small

trailer and an RV pump so that he

can fill it up at the water trough

and then run it over to the garden to

water the garden, but also so he will

have water in his house until we can

get him electricity and a well of his own.

So they are probably working on that.

Meanwhile.

I'm baking bread.

HA!

But I have also been reading books like

it's going out of style!

Kindle says I have read 45 books so far this year!

I found an author who wrote good mysteries

from the point of view of the FBI.

But the more of them I read, they darker

and darker the content got until I was

half-way through one and decided

that it was time I moved on to something else.

But I couldn't find anything I wanted to read,

so I switched from Kindle Unlimited

to the Deseretbook app called Bookshelf.

I've read 3 books so far from there,

so I guess my total for the year is 48.

Unfortunately, since I stopped using my

Kindle app I messed up my reading streak.

I've read for 201 weeks in a row and hadn't missed

a day in over 100 days.

I'm back at 1 day today.

(I read a recipe in my Trim Healthy cookbook

that I keep a digital copy of on the app.)

Anyhow.

The book I'm reading right now is called

The Ties That Bind and it's about a man

who is determined to find his family and kind

of gets excited about genealogy without realizing

that's what he is doing.

But back to zucchini.

It's Halloween in the story and he is giving

out candy to the kids that come to the door.

He is complaining that some of the kids are 

WAAY too old to be trick-or-treating.

And his wife says, "When someone older than

12 came to our door, Dad used to give them a

zucchini instead of candy since they had lots

left from their garden."

I thought that was HILARIOUS and I can't wait

for Halloween in WaKeeney!

We are having another open house this weekend.

Heard from our realtor this morning that a couple

we met last weekend is coming back with 

their own realtor this weekend.

That's good, right?

The showing we had the other day was a bust.

The guy didn't speak much English 

and didn't even come inside,

He wanted the property to run a business.

The realtor didn't elaborate on what kind of business.

But whatever it was, it wasn't something that

is allowed in our zoning of rural residential.

Oh well.

Fingers crossed and constant prayers.

When its right, it will happen.

Meanwhile, our house has never been so clean.

HA!
