We left for Nate’s on Monday, this grandkids trip different
as we started out by ourselves. A little piece and quiet before the gang of
grandkids.

| Truck Mileage to start |
We helped Nate and Bekki can apricots, babysit kids, clean
and ready for friends. Dale worked with
Nate on repairing a piece of equipment, something he loves to do. Unfortunately,
there was no time for a backpacking trip.
Prior to leaving home, I’d asked Bekki if she had basil, she
answered that she had lots. I brought my Cuisinart so that I could make Pesto
for us. Well, Bekki had basil, lots of basil, probably 20 plants, loaded with
leaves.

On Wednesday Bekki and I picked basil, filling 2 baskets. We
roped Christabel into washing everything while Bekki and I took the leaves off.
Finally, a couple of hours later, we had 12 Cups of leaves. We made 5 whole
pints of Pesto.
On Thursday, I thought I’d try to make a little more. I went
out and picked a bunch of basil then proceeded to clean the leaves and make the
pesto. 5-hours later I had 5-pint jars of pesto. The pesto was really good but
I’m not sure worth the time.

Grandkids swam, I read a book and
we had a glass of wine with the neighbor. This was a perfect way to start a
vacation.
