 I got up around 6:30. I prayed and then made a French Press coffee. I drank coffee and read my Bible and sent out the verse of the day:

 Then I got ready for the day. I took Zeb to class, He has game night with some friends, and it will be dark when he is ready to come home. 

Cliff and I both said “Double Stamp Day” When Jake and Alex were little, the first day of the month was Double Stamp Day at the bookstore (I think you got a stamp on a little card for every 10.00 that you spent and then when your card was full you got a free book) Anyway, double stamp day was a big day for us because we would take the kids to the book store and get books. 

I ate an apple with almond butter for breakfast. 

I went to Kingsport and Johnson City with Cliff. Rachel Smith gave me a big box of fabric that was her grandmothers. I may try and make her a quilt with some of it. It was very nice of her to give me that. 

Back home, I heated up some leftover chili and made a grilled cheese. 

I cleaned up the kitchen and then I quilted a few rows of the quilt that I am working on.

 I emptied the skimmer on the pool.

 I cleaned out both the garage refrigerators. What a mess! I got all that mess taken out to the chickens and then washed all the containers. 

I made a batch of split pea soup to can tomorrow. I also need to put up the ham broth.

Looking split peas.

 I piddled around the house doing little odd jobs like folding dish rags, putting clothes away, etc. 

Cliff and I ate leftover Chicken Bacon Pasta for supper. 

I went and got Zeb, and he was hungry, so we stopped at Papa John’s and got a pizza. We all watched a show together. 

Then I heated up some Russian Tea for us to enjoy.

 I got ready for bed. I wrote out a to do list and jotted down some notes in my journal. I read my Bible and prayed.
