RECON

I was so organized going into this reconciliation for the month of June – I kept up to date on our bank account all month.

YET – it doesn’t balance!! Argh. I’ve got a mystery to solve.

In the midst of all that, 5 smiling faces appeared at the front counter! I can always tell when the KERF readers appear because they make eye contact with ME instead of the BREAD!! This group was having a girls’ weekend and came down to Cville to visit from Pennsylvania and Fredericksburg. They were lots of fun! A special shout out goes out to their friend and KERF reader Emily and her babies. Best wishes Emily!

The crew brought me treats from PA – BEER (wheee!) and Dill Pickle Popcorn!

IMG_3094 (640x427)

We opened the popcorn just now – yum!!! It’s so strong in a very good way. Matt, Karen and I can’t keep our paws out of the tin!

IMG_3095 (640x427)

I just sat down for lunch – a delicious blend of leftover salmon + beans + avocado plus garden kale I picked this morning. Eat More Kale! I dressed the salad in the sesame ginger marinade that reader Dani brought me, and it totally made the salad.

Nine Grain on the side!

After a really slow week, business is booming today. Such a relief! I’m headed home in an hour to get ready for the wedding. Better be able to solves this math problem in one hour!!

    This is going to sound really, really weird, but I was just thinking this morning that we haven’t seen some awesome wedding photos on here in a while. Guess that’s about to change real soon!

    Have a great time tonight!

    Dill Pickle Popcorn? That might be a bit crazy for me 🙂

    Your salad looks amazing though! I always lean towards spinach, romaine, and mixed greens, but I should try to mix kale in a bit more often!

    Good luck with the maths. I so don’t envy you there :s

    When I waitresses in college sometimes I had to close out the register after the night, it was such a pain, I don’t think it ever zero’d out! And that was just one night! I don’t envy having to do a whole month’s worth of recon!

    I’ve seen dill pickle popcorn before. (I thought it was just a Texas thing, but I guess not.) I’ve always been to freaked out to try it, although I do love a good pickle. Maybe next time I see some, I’ll take the plunge.*

    I came in today and got a Savannah and Apple Crunch Bread Pudding bar, it was delicious! I said hi to Allie but saw you in your office so I didn’t want to bother you. Your Great Harvest was awesome; especially with the almond butter spread to sample! I didn’t sample too much because I feel bad for sampling anywhere, haha. Anyways, have a good rest of the weekend! I’m glad I could stop by. :]

        Yeah, I’m sorry. I regret not saying hi to you today, especially since that was partly why I came here (also to see Charlottesville). I live in California, but I hope to be back here next summer. I went to the downtown area and had dinner and went to arch’s to get that gooey brownie! Really good! It’s funny how you’re going to a wedding because there is one in the hotel that I am staying at tonight. I’ll say hi next time 🙂

    I do bookkeeping for my family’s dairy farm, and it drives me bonkers when the books don’t balance at the end of the month. Usually it’s a math error on my part, but once in a while it’s a check that cleared for a different amount than I wrote it for. I found out the bank goes by the written-out number if it doesn’t agree with the numerical one. Good luck solving your money mystery!

    I’ve been in the garden trying to keep it clean. We have a community garden where I have two garden plots one for row crops and one for vine crops> My row crop plot got drowned out right after I planted it. Wasn’t going to replant but. While weeding today I realized I needed more than six beets in the row crops so I replanted. I hope it pays off.
