thanks, helia! How is your dm settling in?

G also is expecting a friend next weekend for some hiking. He's from New Zealand and in the states for business. He'll be staying in the small trailer. G bought a "real" mattress for him. He also took down ds/M's loft bed from his teenage years and set it up in the office. It's set up high to be able to walk under it.

Okay...'nuff messin' around.

Waving to kittykatt, Smile*Lee, L.Ann, kitkat, helia and Bama!
Bama, if you want to hear some Czech stories, I'm your man! Or woman. Or whatever :-) Where did your family come from?
kittykatt, here's a bit more info on Topaz lineage!
Topaz apples were developed at The Institute of Experimental Botany in the Czech Republic. The variety was created from a cross in the 1990s between two Czech apples, Rubin and Vanda, and was introduced to commercial markets in 2001. Topaz apple’s parent varieties also come from a well-known lineage of famous apple cultivars. Rubin was created from a cross between Golden Delicious and Lord Lambourne, while Vanda also has Lord Lambourne roots. Today Topaz apples have been introduced to apple markets worldwide and are commercially cultivated on a small scale in Europe and the United States. They are also planted in home gardens in North America, Europe, South Africa, and Australia. When in season, Topaz apples are sold through local farm stands, markets, and specialty retailers.

Home from work and the parent-teacher meeting at DBD's school. That's the one that does not stress me... yet :-)

TaDas
- morning madness
- busy day at work
- pick up DBD and drop her off at home
- parent-teacher meeting at DBD's school
- load of winter blankets washed and flipped to dryer
- take recyclings to collection point
- take green bin to collection point
- pick up book order

ToDos
- morning routine
- put away yesterday's laundry
- vacuum in DBD's room (that requires putting away her toy trains...)

kit ~ good to see you here! Looking forward to our farmer's market as well. Ours is in a mall parking lot. I think they're already holding some things inside the mall, but it will move outside soon.
trissie ~ glad the meeting went well. One less stress off the day....

Refrigerator repair guy made it back today to complete the job. Our garage fridge came in handy while it was down.
Helped ds/A with some desk tasks.
Quick spiff done.

Next ... more laundry, empty dw, lunch.
