Saturday Share

Well, God's working on my patience again this morning.  A friend from work asked to borrow the hubby's masonry drill.  No problem.  She's coming to the Lowe's near us and can stop by and pick it up.  I thought she was coming at 9:00.  It's 10:15 now, so I guess she isn't.  I want to take Hobo Beans to church tonight and needed to run to the store for the ingredients so I could get started.  It's also a work day at the new church and hardly anyone is there.  Tim called asking me to come down.  Grrrr....I can't till the beans are underway and my co-worker shows up because there's a $900 drill sitting on the deck.

I did finally run to the store leaving instructions for my daughter to answer the phone if it rang and give directions to the house if it was my friend.  I've been to the store and back, washed the dishes and have the beans underway....and still no word.  Oh well, I am getting a lot done around here.  Besides what's been mentioned already I've done three loads of laundry, picked up around the house, run the vacuum, showered, and brushed out the dog.

Here's the Saturday Share before I run out of time:

1 can tomato paste
1 cup celery, chopped
1 1/2 cup onion, chopped
