In Sum

Very productive day - lots of work done, lots of house work done on breaks, as well.

Auntie Ann, here is your report, which I'm sure we'll add after we leave:

#1 Both beds upstairs are clean and cooty free. The downstairs bedrooms have the signs if they are clean or not, offhand I don't remember and I know that you guys (like us) sleep upstairs.

#2 You should bring: Sourdough start, vegetable oil. I saved sourdough start before I made pancakes this morning. Of course, the start is contaminated by forgetting to save it the time before, although so far Becky and I haven't died and the start still seems to be active even though I forgot to save it once and it has remnants of sugar/egg/etc.

#3 Here is some stuff worth noting we have up here:

-4 bottles white wine, 2 bottles red wine, 1 bottle of white zin. I'm not sure which category that falls into.

-Tabasco

-Coffee: Peet's and Nescafe

-10 eggs good until Fed 23

-Frozen bread (its the partially baked kind meant to be finished at home in the oven. We froze it. Its a half loaf.

-butter

-Syrup (maple + gooseberry)

-lots of mousetraps

-6 beers of various types

-cherry tomatoes (10)

-salad mix which we think is good, but check when you wash it

-head of spinach

#4 You should note:

-Last time we were here with mom, she noticed you and Uncle Louie's shoes had been nibbled by mice. She bagged them and put them outside on the porch (kitchen side).

-Becky transported alot of food from the dry pantry to the cabinets up above the fridge (to better mouse proof them). We put alot of stuff in containers. If you're curious where anything is, ask, but its either still in the pantry or above the fridge.

#5 It is beautifullllllll up here. Update the blog for us!
