Another Busy Monday
We’re home, but we don’t get a bit of rest. Papa left for work a while ago, and I’m making a list — again. Finish laundry. Wash and sort cucumbers, sort and can tomatoes (5 big buckets – like laundry soap comes in). Pack clothes. Make a couple of dishes to take. Pack food. Buy …
