A day in town

Yesterday was town day. It started with the library in the morning. Each Tuesday they have a kids program where they read and do crafts. The children are completely taken care of so I was able to zoom around the library and do some reading. Ben and Eva had a lot of fun there and are looking forward to going back next week! After that was chore time at the Laundromat. We wouldn’t have enough water in our tanks for doing laundry... we are almost taking dry showers to conserve water. We had a picnic there while the machines were doing their job. The kids were good helpers after I found the off button to the big screen hang on the wall but before that they were glued to it learning about cooking from the food channel... It could have been worse, though, like the news or cartoon network. After all the clothes were neatly folded we stopped by the sewing shop to find some help with our project. Eva wants to make herself a summer dress. We’d done the fun part already, choosing the pattern and fabric. I thought:"we have a sewing machine and everything we need... how hard can it be to make the dress?" Well, I changed my mind as soon as I opened up the pattern... that’s why we stopped by the shop to find more help. The lady there gave us the contacts of the Quincy’s sewing club maybe someone there will be of assistance. Eva is really anxious to start on her dress. Hopefully it will be done this summer.

In the evening we made a camp fire and roasted some freshly caught trout and crawdads.
Yummy!
