Chiggers
It seems I brought back a little gift from the place in Oldfield…chiggers…or red bugs if you are from Louisiana. Dennis hopes to go test the well (bringing a rented generator) on Friday. We need to know about the well and where the property lines are before we either make an offer or decide it’s not the place for us and move on.
Cable guy came…is name was Bob. He replaced our old cable box with a tiny little box. And they are finally going to get rid of the “jerry rigged” set up we’ve been dealing with for YEARS. We used to have underground cable til it was cut multiple times by our neighbor…and they set up a shoddy line from the telephone pole to the house…and it wasn’t even grounded. So on Thursday, they are going to come back and do it right. Meanwhile, the new cable box (which isn’t shorting out every few minutes) is great.
Tomorrow night is First Wednesday club. Italian food is the theme. I’m doing a white trash lasagna–using canned ravioli for the meat & noodles, cottage cheese for the ricotta cheese, canned diced tomatoes for the sauce and bag-o-italian blend cheese. It’s amazingly good. And about all I can throw together after work.
Happy Birthday to my dad from his favorite daughter.

Do you use fingernail polish on your chigger bites too? My grandmother taught me to do that.
I haven’t gotten chiggers in ages. Aren’t they out of style?
white trash lasagna. Sounds like a guilty pleasure fer sure.
That’s what we did when I was growing up…I think I might give it a try. I’ve been using Caladryl Clear…it helps but not much.
Getting chiggers lets me know the place we are looking definitely has the seclusion we are looking for. LOL White Trash Lasagna–all processed food for ingredients. Nothing natural or healthy about it…but tasty.
