Big Announcements

We are buying a house!!! No, not this one, but close, just the Rose Park version. We are closing tomorrow and then will be moving as soon as possible (carrying things downstairs should be easier than it was going up).



And...we are having a BABY!!! Due: October 16th.

Mmm...Soup!

I have never made homemade soup before so this was big for me (but it turned out to be quite easy). Soup just sounded good and I found a recipe in my favorite cookbook "Fix-It and Enjoy-It" by Phyllis Pellman Good (same lady who does the Fix-It and Forget-It cookbooks for slow cookers) and despite not having gone grocery shopping for quite some time, I actually had all the ingredients (except for celery so I just left it out). But even without the celery it was very yummy.



I was in a hurry to get it finished before Sam left for work so I just moved things I was done with out of the way and now have a mess and yes, that is a Chinese food leftover box, but since I ate its contents for lunch it was serving as a small portable garbage.
