Life is good. Mom was in town visiting this weekend while husband was in Georgia playing rugby. We weren’t tourists as planned. Instead we went shopping on Saturday and yesterday hung around the house since Mom was hit by a cold.

In all, a quiet, relaxing weekend. I’m thankful for my wonderful family and fantastic life.

This is what I did this afternoon. I roasted a chicken on Saturday night and saved the carcass. Combined with more carrots, onion, celery, peppercorns, and S&P and simmered for two hours. Yummy! I’ll pull it out tomorrow and make soup using the rest of the chicken from Saturday and the remainder of the roasted carrots, potatoes, turnips, and onion from Saturday too. Add in a little celery and VOILA!!

Happy Veterans’ Day!

Lucky likes to eat dirt, leaves, and grass. Most of the time this doesn’t cause any problems.

Last night, it did.
