Some peace at last

I got floated at work today , to the burn unit. . . what a change of pace. . nice and quiet, and serene. God knew I needed some peace.

We are continuing onward with the pantry challenge. . . tonight's meal was meatloaf (leftover and frozen from a previous meal, just reheated for tonight), corn (from our garden last summer) and ice cream (on sale). Lights were off and the thermostat turned down most of the day.

We're continuing to gear up for the trip to SC. . . Deana and Sarah have been wheeling and dealing to get their weekends off/trading, etc. Mine was already arranged months ago. Brenda is going to check out a campground for us , tomorrow. The website looks nice, but I know pictures can be cropped and be deceiving. $26/night will a lot less expensive than $100/night at a hotel. Doug and Brenda's house, simply cannot hold us all for sleeping/bathing/etc. Marty has the van in the shop now - getting the fan motor replaced so we'll have heat/AC on the trip. . . and hopefully getting the passenger door fixed so it can be opened from the outside (hasn't worked since we bought the van). New tires , an oil change and we should be good to go.

Oh - and Deana was named to the college's President's list for last semester! yes, I'm a proud momma
