Preparing for the trip

One more day before our trip to Italy starts! We began today with bacon, eggs, toast, orange juice, and taking the stove apart to see why it wasn't working. A damaged element, that's why. So off to find one of those. We didn't find one, but we did find a big nest with two ospreys and a third one bringing in fish for breakfast. 

Then it was off to Walmart again, for more essential things that we didn't know we needed until we saw them. That often happens when I go to Walmart.

We got a few things and went over to the church to bake Irish scones. We got a great receipt for scones at the Rathbaun Farm in Ireland, and Glenda has since perfected them. Randy wanted to learn her secrets. 

Of course he added a few pointers of his own, too.

Everybody contributed (except me).

These are SO GOOD!

Back at home we cleaned the fridge of leftovers for dinner and watched a little TV until we all turned in early. Tomorrow is a long travel day that will start quite early.
