Happy Halloween

Just Chilling Out While Grandma Holds Me!

Today has been a great day thus far. It has warmed up and stopped raining for a bit, we had a faculty breakfast get together this morning, and Seth and I took Rocky for a walk around the block. This is something we have not been able to do in weeks because it won't stop raining!
Roland also finished priming the kitchen last night so we are 95% ready for the drywallers on Monday. The only thing left is to disconnect the electrical on Sunday and we will be ready to go!

As promised yesterday I dug out some new recipes to share with you today. The 1st is a perfect fall soup for a cool night.
