InstaFriday

I learned this week that it is OK to sleep if you have a suspected concussion.

Good thing.

If you would have told me 25 years ago that on my 25th wedding anniversary I would be eating a salad of roasted beets, I probably would have laughed.  Or cried.  Not sure which, but let me tell you...the heirloom beet salad from Napa Rose will knock your socks off.

So will the price...but how many times do you celebrate a 25th anniversary?

A most lovely visit with the neighborhood girls that included feasting on fancy treats.  They not only fed me physically, but emotionally and spiritually as well.   Thank you all (and you know who you are!) for being such a blessing to me.

And that chocolate mousse?  Ummm...YUM.

Lunches a few times this week have been corn on the cob, cooked on the grill until it gets a few little charred spot on it.  Best eaten standing over the kitchen sink while the butter runs down your arms. 

Happiness is a freezer stocked with homemade chicken stock.  No real recipe...I take all the frozen whole roasted left over chicken carcasses (now doesn't that word make it sound yummy...not!), cover them with water and throw in whatever sorry looking veggies need to be used up...usually some carrot and onion and celery.  Simmer for a few hours and there you have it.

We went and saw a matinee of Super 8 and really liked it...it truly is a cross between Goonies and ET.  The previews definitely didn't do it justice.

Brian snacked on popcorn, candy AND an icee...gotta love the youngest child.

We were the only ones in the theater and they forgot to start the movie!  Ten minutes after it was supposed to start, Michael had to go out and tell them that we were there...crazy!

I passed the time by playing with my camera settings.  Hello, toes!

My youngest, proud of his heritage.
