Dead Corn!!!

If you read my blog regularly you will remember me ranting about my corn fit! How I stocked up with about 50 ears of corn. Well, let me tell you. With the busy little life that I have, I bought the corn and decided hey, it will be okay for 1 week until I find time to peel it. So it sat happily in my kitchen on the corner... All 50 ears. I finally get some time to peel it this weekend and the damn corn went bad. Some of the husks were a little mildew ( but not the corn ) so I decided to still peel some and inspect the corn. Blasted! The corn was all wilted and the kernels looked like an 80 old lady =( I had to throw all 50 ears away. Needless to say I was shedding some tears while this was happening. My precious corn. I will never do that again.

Kristi was telling me how she would not mind some corn, and since Sloughouse is not really a hop skip and a jump away her suggestion us to go together was not a bad idea. So, bright and early we got up met and Aunt Carmen's and we hopped in the Explored and went for some more Corn. ( Kristi and I both made our Coffee stops prior) I was worried they would not have any more left. They were really low last week when I went last. Hooray, they had some left. Not much, but maybe a weekend or 2 left. ( Maybe ) I will be peeling that corn when I get home tonight or for sure when I awake in the AM. I will do it early before the sun beats down my back yard.

After we got back we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa McClain's to see how Grandpa was doing. He was having a time after they removed the catheter, but he is good now. During out visit we FINALLY set some dates for camping. We were not going to go all together with Grandpa having surgery and all but he said he will go as long as he is just relaxing, and that is just what we will be sure he is doing =). So, we will be heading off October 18 -21. I cannot wait. We will be by Santa Cruz/ Monterey so we are going to go to the Aquarium while we are that way. ( Daddy surprised us by stopping by for a bit on his lunch )

After our short visit we headed to scrub boys for a much needed washing for my poor ol Neon. She was filthy. Now she is really clean and shiny! By this time it was late and we were running close to getting ready for work time. We pretty much eat, let the dogs out and back out we went to drop the boy off and Leigh's ( Daycare) and mommy off to work.
