Monday: the first full day back from a week on the road to Oklahoma. It was a day full of appointments: looking at a pump organ across the street at Radar Security Alarm, Inc.; checking in with Lisa at 1502 Fabrics about progress on window treatments; Toma K. Banner from Wash Me Auto Detailing came to clean the car up after a week with a dog traveling along; Mike Sink was here late afternoon to show me samples for fixing the broken tile in the landing bathroom; and (unfortunately) Brian from my commercial refrigerator service company wasn't able to show up to see why the third floor beer cooler is acting up again. Then, it was six folks at dinner! That meant going for a meal that would have longer cook times to allow for some pool playing and visiting, so I chose smothered pork chops with onion-thyme gravy together with slow-cooker scalloped potatoes and garden peas. Fortunately, I still had some homemade applesauce ready to serve up too!
