Full House

Today we had a full house.  Everyone was here:  Amelia, Aubree, Elizabeth, Koleen, Steve, and me.  We ate fried chicken, mashed potatoes, corn, and rolls.  We had a good visit.  Elizabeth's dog, Hunter, came too.  Samurai and Hunter run around like crazy.  Hunter is a small spaniel, and as you know, Samurai is an Akita.  Samurai loves to play with Hunter.  Hunter grabs Samurai's neck and drives Samurai crazy.  When Samurai has had enough, he simply pins Hunter down and lays on him.   It is pretty funny to watch.  They are good buds.

Steve has not felt well today.  He has spent a lot of the day resting.  He just feels yucky.  I know he is also fatigued.  He has had the chills several times.  We were lucky it was a rainy and cold day so it was the perfect lazing around day.  I did get a little nap in this afternoon before Koleen made it home.  I am going to go to bed early tonight since I must be at the gym by 5 so I can make coffee by 7.  You know you have to have your priorities.  :)

We had a pretty lazy day today.  I got up and went to the grocery story early.  I purchased all the stuff for several meals.  I fried chicken today, browned hamburger for chili and taco pizza, and browned stew meat.  I also made some olive spread for a snack.  I was busy, but it was a good kind of busy.  I told you last week that I liked to to this kind of stuff so I am not running around like an idiot during the week.  Koleen is going to be home until Thursday.  She is always complaining that we eat good stuff when she is not here, so I decided to make some of the things she likes.  I'll tell you a little secret.  I love the fried chicken chunks when they are cold.  They are my favorite breakfast.  Please don't tell Koleen because she thinks that I made them special for her.

Koleen got home about 3:00 this afternoon.  When she got home, we started to work on a sewing project that she wants to complete while she is home.  It is a quilt.  The material is beautiful.  It is made from a Charm Pack that she ordered online from Missouri Star Quilt Company.  I'll post a picture when it is finished.  You will be impressed with the improvements she has made in her sewing techniques.
