Evaporated milk, Reader's Digest and condensed soup...

It is Fall! The weather is crisp and cool... until late in the afternoon then it gets a bit warmer.. at least in the house. After being unable to pick apples because the orchard was closed before we arrived, we went to a park. It was freezing cold compared to the day before when our high was 80 degrees. The kids needed jackets, which thankfully were in the party van. I, however, did not have a sweater, jacket or even a blanket save the one I was crocheting. So the visit to the park was short-lived.

We picked up our Wal-Mart grocery order and then headed to Goodwill where I was lightened of $20 on Beanie Boo toys from McDonald's. No matter, the kids enjoyed opening the packages and playing with the little treasures they found inside. Bonus feature was they haven't had these at our local McDonald's since our home burned down so no duplicates! And no ketchup on the carpet from half eaten food!

There is much to do today to get ready for the upcoming week. Doing all the laundry in one day lasted one time! I haven't been able to commit to the same day or even one day since the experiment was tried. It was nice having all the laundry done that week. But it all got dirty again as laundry does.

It has been cool enough in the early mornings to just want to curl up with a good book or a crochet project and have warm soup for dinner! That is why the title mentions soup, condensed milk and Reader's Digest is fun to read while sipping soup on a cold day!
