Egg Money

Submitted by jennye on Thu, 04/13/2006 - 7:04am.

Andrea, Egg money is the money that farmer's wives used to make when they took extra eggs to town and sold to the local grocery store (or whoever wanted to buy some eggs). It was usually her little bit of "mad-money" or used it to contribute to her husband's meager earnings from the farm. I don't have chickens (yet, though I think we are getting some this spring/summer), but this is my "egg money". LOL! Glad you liked the stuff!

I went to town yesterday because I HAD to get some groceries. Now I'm back today for a meeting (I'm on the elections committee for our rural phone coop), and almost there tonight for baseball practice. Tomorrow plan on staying home, but to Clovis on Saturday for pictures (all 12 of us), and again on Sunday for Easter (church and party at aunt-uncle-inlaws). Great. And diesel is up to 2.79. ouch.

I did do something yesterday. Besides the Ebay stuff. I washed the windows on the outside. Now instead of being dusty dirty, they are streaky dirty. Damned if I do, damned if I don't. I've never had to do that before, the rain usually takes care of it. But, uh, we haven't had any except for a sprinkle in a sandstorm, which does enough to get the windows wet so the sand can stick to it better.

Oh, and it's supposed to hit 95 today, according to the radio. So much for spring.

Time to put my face on and get busy. gotta take Chance to the inlaws. Drew stays with me for the meeting.
