Ice? Woman Come On!

Today we had all three kids again, my brother's sons and daughters. All three of them have colds. Yay! They actually were fine. But my Dad had to take them to the doctor and then take the oldest one right home to my brother's house after the appointment, leaving the other two with us. My niece and I baked pumpkin squares this afternoon. It really was great fun to do that with her, even though we put in double the amount of allspice the recipe called for because I lost track of what she had put in.
Then there was the freezer. I mentioned this in yesterday's blog. My grandmother's upright freezer stopped working Monday. I mention that it is the upright because she has two. My widow grandmother has two freezers. Two. And she believes she needs both of them. So yesterday we bought a new freezer. It was delivered today. So I spent a good part of the afternoon taking the frozen vegetables out of the refrigerator freezer and the deep freeze and placing it in the upright. And me realizing she has a lot of stored vegetables. And lots and lots of ice. And apparently it is not enough ice. I thought I had it all sorted out so that she only needed one freezer. She talks about wanting to sell the deep freeze. Well that was when she went to refrigerator freezer and saying "oh, this isn't going to work, I'm going to need more space." I asked her what she meant. Well she meant that she had to have room for the ice trays and a third bucket that she pours ice into when it is made in the ice maker. There was already one additional ice bucket in the freezer and she needed one more. Did I tell you she is a widow? And that she had several bags of ice in the deep freeze? Now she has a lot of family around, but seriously, she has a lot of ice. A lot of ice! And she is convinced that she has to have this much ice. So I couldn't argue with her. I just went along with the ice plan. Crazy, not crazy as say wanting to name our church "Jane Fonda Baptist Church" but crazy none-the-less.
Spoke to my brother on the telephone today, but didn't see him. Hopefully tomorrow. I don't think I'm avoiding seeing him, but maybe I am. In the end it's important that I'm here right now. If he and his family don't come over for Thanksgiving day lunch then I'll go see him. It won't be a long visit because he doesn't visit for very long, but I'll go see him.
So that is today. There was singing on Pushing Daisies tonight. Yay!
Alright, I'll write again tomorrow when I wake up from my turkey induced coma.
Peace out!
