I’ve been busy working today. No computer time, no stitching time, no knitting time – it’s been manual labour.

Because today was garbage day I wanted to take care of the pail of apples I collected yesterday so the peelings and core (and just plain rotten apples) could out to the curb. My two more batches of applesauce turned out to be four more batches. I have no idea what I’m going to do with it all but I’ve no doubt it will get used before next year’s crop is ready.

Once the apples were done I started cleaning – not a regular clean but a House Concert clean. Kitchen floor washed, carpets vacuumed, floors swept, and bathrooms cleaned. I cleaned out a closet and straightened up another one. All this as well as an impromptu visit with the Hall president to work out some issues and a couple of deliveries to the house.

I still have a few more things to do but they will have to wait until I get my daily dose of computer work done. I also have a package I want to get in the mail tomorrow on my way to sewing. I’m glad I took the time last week to pick out and pack up projects for the bee.

And speaking of House Concerts – it’s official (although not yet posted). Pat and I are giving up the House Concerts in Powell River. Another group contacted the home routes people asking about hosting shows and it just seemed like the perfect time for us to pass it on. We’ve had some feedback from several of our season ticket holders; the ones south of town are happy as the new venue is south of town, some of the in-town folks will travel to the shows (a 20-minute drive) and some won’t. We’ll still handle the shows on Texada but it decreases my workload tremendously.

More time for computer work, stitching and knitting!
