Leroy has booked himself quite a
schedule. His boss at the museum is on
vacation so he is working there today and then again on the Monday holiday. He
is going to church tonight because neither of the other pastors is available.
He is taking most of the day off Sunday, but will be there for his grief group Sunday
evening. He will also work a good bit of the day Tuesday because we do not
leave for Salt Lake until late in the day. We will arrive there at midnight
their time which is one a.m. for our body time. I just hope we are awake enough
to get off the plane. We are not late night people.
I have done another batch of pears
that made six jars. Part of me would like to ask Leroy for just one half hour
on Sunday afternoon because I would like the company especially since I selected
most of the larger pears to work on first. My guess is that with his help
cutting up the pears we could be done in 30 minutes since it takes me an hour
when I do it by myself. This will be the last bit of pears to do. A part of me
feels guilty even thinking of such a thing since Leroy has not had a full day
off in at least two weeks. How he has gotten so booked I am not sure, but LeroyI guess
he is just talented.
The only thing about doing all of this
canning is that I do not get so many steps covered. I will have to take a walk
to add to my total. I do stand while I cut up the pears and get them ready. I
remember my mother sitting for many of those tasks. I am not sure why, but I
generally like to stand while I cut things.
Just a shot note on the Salt Lake
trip. We are each only taking one bag that we can stick under the seats because
we do not want to pay for luggage. Do you think we can have ourselves
adequately covered? We do have some things stored at Miriam’s, but I remember
many of them being for winter rather than the 80 degrees we are expecting. I
can always borrow from Miriam, but Leroy might have to go to the second hand
store as he and Andy are not quite the same size.
