And So The Weekend Ends

My new cell phone battery arrived in the mail on Saturday. I put it in the phone, charged it up and yahoo, my phone now works the way it once did. Meaning that I can talk on my cell phone for more than 15 minutes without it going dead.

Even better than the way this new battery works, is the fact that I got it for $9.99, including shipping and it arrived in less than 10 days! My cell phone company (who I do love), wanted $39.99 for this little battery!

I managed to clean out our front hall closet in one day. This closet contained:
1. Our old record collection. Three large heavy boxes of LP’s!
2. Two fish bait buckets.
3. A tackle box.
4. Three wooden ice fishing line sets.
5. Various fishing poles.
6. A box of Reel to Reel tapes.
7. My collection of cassette tapes.
8. An amplifier from the 1960’s.
9. Half a dozen small throw pillows.

I’m not sure how all that stuff got into that closet. It just sort of happened over time. I decided that I was taking back my closet and so I removed this stuff, and put it down into the basement. I will deal with the basement in another life, but at least my front hall closet is clean and I can actually put coats, and boots into it.

I tried a new recipe for Bratkartoffeln. Bratkartoffeln is sautéed potatoes with onions and bacon. It came out really well and we enjoyed it with the pork chops I cooked for dinner tonight. The recipe is below for the potato dish.

Today I pruned my tomato plants back. They are still in the green house and believe it or not, still have tomatoes on them!

I also helped Hubby to rake leaves, and played a little ball with Greta and Fritz.

Greta has been eating and sleeping more each day. I’m hoping this is a sign that she is, in fact, pregnant.

Sleepy Greta

When I was in the kitchen cooking I heard a noise and looked down and there she was with her dog dish in her mouth waiting for me to notice her and fill the dish!

  1. OOoh here’s to hoping she is preggo!! Sounds like you were extremely productive… something I’ve been lately too which is unusual for me. LOL

  2. MB – that picture of Greta is gorgeous…with the background of royal blue and pink…topped off with a sleepie love sponge of a wire-haired dachsie.
