Lots of Rain and a Roasted Pig

A couple of weekends ago we went to Georgia for a going away party for our friends the Laterzas, who were soon returning to China. It rained the whole way there and the rain continued during the party most of us stayed under the carport type area of the barn but Joe, Matthew and Anthony had to go fishing. This is Joe in his gortex which keeps him completely dry. He's as happy as a lark with his coffee and pole in one hand and a cookie in the other.

Matthew came back to the barn soaking wet.

Anthony is all business when he fishes.
Penny Sue and I walked down to see the pond and take the coffee and cookie to the guys.

Poor piggy! This is what was left of him- his head. But he sure was yummy!

A Tip For No More, Okay Less Ironing

Wow! It has been a long time since I posted. I actually have a ton of stuff to put on but have been busy. I was just thinking tonight about a great laundry tip I got from a lady at church. You may have already heard this but it was new to me. The key is to put your clothes (mainly I do dress clothes) in the dryer for 5 minutes (on high if you have a choice) then take out the clothes and hang them up. By morning ours are aways dry and I iron very little. It works on stuff that would normally shrink in the dryer without being ruined because they just steam for a short time. Just make sure you set a timer or you may do like me and forget. Then I get them wet and start over because I like this no ironing thing! It works great on all fabrics except linen but it does cut down on the wrinkles tremendously-it just doesn't do away with them. I guess I will find out if you already knew this (duh!) or it is new info to you (THANKS!) based on the comments you leave! HAHA!
