Mowing The Yard, Boiling Peanuts

Coker, Alabama

Weather: low 59 degrees, high 85 degrees, mostly cloudy skies

We were tired after our trip back to Coker, so we were lazy this morning, not getting up until almost 0700 hours. I know that may not seem late to many people, but we're so used to getting up earlier, it seemed like we were getting a late start on the day.

After my morning walk and a short rest, we went out to the house. While I was mowing, Carolyn started boiling peanuts. A bushel is a lot of peanuts, and we knew that cooking them on the RV stove would take a long time, so we decided to cook them at the house. We only have one big pot, but we took two other smaller pots as well with us to cook in. With the three pots, we managed to cook about seven quarts of peanuts. Tomorrow, we'll cook some more.

I managed to mow most of the yard, and will finish up tomorrow. In addition, I'll have to trim the shrubs in preparation for the showing tomorrow afternoon. After we got back to the RV, I went to the library in Tuscaloosa to return some books and pick up more.

Terri and Thomas came over to the RV tonight. Thomas entertained us with his new found skills as a magician. At this time, he is most interested in card tricks, and he's getting good at it. They tried out the boiled peanuts, and gave their seal of approval after several taste tests. It's always good to have an independent observation of your efforts.

More later, be safe.
