​It snowed about two inches last night. It melted today. It started snowing again. It is round, foam-ball-like snow. 


Keith doesn’t seem to care much about cooking. Meals are last minute and slip-shod. Last night he was sitting around, playing on his computer and even with comments from us, he showed no signs of concentrating on getting supper finished. We know he had chili on the stove, so by 7:30 Isaiah and I decided to eat. Keith’s response was, “It may not be hot yet.” It wasn’t, but it was warm enough to eat. 

Keith never tells us when supper is and doesn’t keep a consistent time. We’re all fed up with him.

Keith’s in town today, so I cooked lunch. I made baked macaroni and cheese. Keith left steak and fish in the fridge and Isaiah is going to make supper. I started baked onions for lunch, but they didn’t finish, so we’ll have those for supper. 

I finally finished all the cabin bedding laundry! Next step - wash the bathroom walls in the cabins. We will start staining the cabins’ outside walls this week, so maybe my wall-washing will have to wait.
