I was so excited for this last Friday to get here. It was bound to be a slammin packed weekend. And sure enough it was.
I got off of work Friday went home and picked up Nic and Tayler to head over to my father in laws house for dinner. My brother in lawn cooked dinner.....Sweet...right? It is a Friday and it is hot and I dont have to cook....lol Should be a dream come true. We get there and Michael had made white beans and corn bread...yummy. One thing I love and rarely get. Yeah so we all dish up and go to eat. "My mouth is on fire!!" What did you put in this stuff....geeez it is hot. He attempted to be a chef when he is sooooooo not.lol He put sea food boil seasoning in it....holy monkeys....a little goes a long way. And then his corn bread....first he used OLD self rising corn meal....old from '07. yeah so it didnt rise. he added cheese and corn and who knows what else to it...I passed on that stuff but Nic said it was not that good. We had to leave there early cause we had to be up early.....so off to home we go.
Saturday was an early rise. 4am I tell ya. Had to get me Tayler and Nic ready to go to the fire department. It was the Mint Festival Fire Breakfast. We volunteered to cook. It is an all you can eat 5 dollar to the public breakfast. It went from 6am to 12pm. I got there not really sure what I was going to be doing....finally made myself at home in the kitchen preping the pancake batter (5lbs bags of mix at a time) along with coffee and OJ. I was busy! I think I mixed like 15-17 bags of mix. The good news is that we fed alot of people. And the Chief says I mix good batter! LOL We served pancakes, eggs to order and ham! After clean up I was so tired I had been running (literally) six + hours. It was a good time. I will do it again next year. After clean up Me Nic and Tayler went to garage sales. Jefferson wide garage Sales (Remember Jody we went last year!) I got a few good things....It was way hot.
Sunday got to sleep in some. I had this brilliant idea to go floating down the river (Santiam) this day. So we all got together (me, Nic, Tayler, Michael and Ricky) and we floated from Jefferson boat dock to the rest area on I5. It took about 1 hour 30 min. I thought I was so smart. Put Sun Screen on me and Tayler. Yeah score for me right!!! Wrong!!!! I got sooooooo burnt. My legs and arms a very toasty. Good news is Tayler was fine. So we got out of the water and went and at lunch/dinner at a place in Jefferson. We were thinking that we would float it again after we ate....but by the time we got our food my legs were on fire!!!! Yeah skipped the second Round!!! lol
So needless to say I spent all day Monday home from work in pain laying on the couch not able to move!!! LOL
Oh well I should go find some SPF 5000!!
