Weekend happenings

by Mama Mabel

What will you be doing this weekend?  I for one intend to finish out my week's goal of washing my dishes and straightening up my countertop.  Then I'm going to bake cookies and get more dishes dirty.  Sounds fun doesn't it? 

I've been wanting to bake chocolate chip cookies all week but didn't have eggs until yesterday.  I've been holding off buying them on my many trips to the store this week because I wanted to stop at the house I pass so often with the sign advertising fresh eggs.  I finally worked up the nerve to have a new experience and I'm now the owner of a dozen eggs ranging in color from white to dark brown.  The man selling them was so nice that I may bring Ladybug by this weekend if the weather is good so she can meet the chickens.  I think she'd love chickens. 

Apparently a willingness to experience new things can lead to good experiences.  Who knew?

  1. A couple on our road put up a "Fresh eggs, $1.25 dozen" sign so we pulled in. A shirtless man answered the door and was very surprised that we wanted eggs and told us they don't actually have any laying hens right now. I guess the sign was decorative :) oops!
