Big Day Ahead

I love the barn kitchen at my parents'! See 3 pics below. My hope is that I can get it cleaned up and stock it with all my Mama Carmi's cookware (maternal grandmother RIP). She was a fantastic southern cook and cooked on green aluminum Club pots/pans -served it all up on crazy daisy spring blossom corningware dishes. No one wanted any of this every day stuff, so I have it all. It's my favorite!

Mom and I are heading down to Tampa on Friday so I can attend the 1 day boot camp cna class Saturday. It's called fast track cna or something to that effect. I'm really looking forward to this road trip with my mama. She has requested to eat in Ybor City which is the Spanish part of Tampa, celebrating it's 75th year I believe. I had never heard of it so googled it. Her dad (Daddy Mac RIP) was the high school band director in Chipley, FL in the 1950's and they used to go to Tampa for band contests, clinics and whatnot. She remembered having a big time in Ybor City.

Today or over the next couple of days I have to: thin my container garden, study the cna videos, clean out my car (milk from a problem milk jug spilled in it - yuck!), fold all of my laundry, call cleaning job folks to let them know I can't be there Sat, book hotel room in Tampa, exercise both days. Not too much. I'll fit it all in. The priority is the viewing of the cna videos!

Happy Memorial Day! Summer's here!

    Joan and I had a fab time--it was good to talk to you last night! Is there a barn living room and a barn bedroom to go with the kitchen???

    Hey, I've been there! It's where I plan to write my memoirs, when the time comes. It reminds me of my November '05 visit to Chipley. Haven't had huevos rancheros since.

    I'm going to dogsit for a 2-year old bulldog named Buzz this summer, for 2 weeks. I'm sure that will make it into the aforementioned memoirs!
