While we are waiting!

Yes we are waiting for the workers to come and build our house.  But with all the rain we have been getting the ground is too wet and too soft to do anything so we have to wait for a week or so of nice dry, sunny weather.

So what are we doing in the meantime?  Well first of all we are involved in a multi-family garage sale at our friend's farm in Delburne.   The garage sale is being held from Thursday through Sunday 3 weekends in a row.
This is what it looks like,

This is a look at some of tables.  These are not our tables they are more at the other end of the 'garage'.  But as you can see there is lots and lots for sale.

This is our table with our junk we are trying to sell.  As you can see the customer (white shirt) is interested in the clock and not in our stuff.  Ah well we did sell some of our stuff but not a lot.

These are some of the books we have for sale.  We had way more books but we donated those to the Big Book Sale in Calgary.  We also have some sewing and knitting patterns for sale.  

And what does a person do when there are no customers?  Which was most of the time it seems like.  We work on our computer.  Leo luckily was able to pass his time by editing his photos while he 'manned' our table.

I was given this rose because I looked after Blondie (the dog) during the garage sale so she would not bother the customers.  I just had to take a picture of it.

Kent and the girls came to visit us as well and Kent remembered (from when he was little) that we had frogs in our yard so he had to catch one and show his girls.

See girls just a small little frog nothing to worry about.

Oh no!  The frog is going to jump!  At least that is what Kinsey is all excited about.

Jayla is now brave enough to let the frog sit on her hand.  Pretty good for a 4 year old.

Remember I showed you my tomato a while back.  It was green and very small.  Well this is what it looks like now.

Pretty nice right!  Well so far I have been able to eat 3 such tomatoes of my 3 plants I have left.  I hope to get some more but so far there are no new tomatoes growing.  Lots of blossoms though!

And what did I do today?  I baked, I walked,  I cleaned a bit and for the rest I watched the rain come down and once in a while I was able to see the sun shine through the clouds.  But overall it was a pretty nice day.

What did I bake?

Yes 2 loaves of bread.  A small one and a large one and a carrot cake baked in the microwave.  (een worteltjes cake in de magnitron).  Yes I know that the Dutch don't make these kind of cakes but a carrot cake is pretty popular here.  This one has raisins and pineapple in it as well.  I just have to ice with some cream cheese icing but I won't do that until just before we eat it.  I plan on taking this with me to the garage sale tomorrow for the other sellers.  You see I had a cake pan made for the microwave for sale but no one wanted to buy it so I took it home again and promised I would make a cake in it to show them that you could bake in a microwave.  

Well this is it again and I hope that I will have more building pictures soon.
