Sunday and Chicken Noodle Soup

Tag! Fourth folder, fourth picture, I had to add some pictures to get a fourth folder which I needed to do for a long time anyway. I did not take the time to delete pictures so I really didn't know what I was going to get. This happens to be a picture of Jason's little brother and either Jason or Ashley in Aberdeen MD December 2007 on Jason's graduation weekend.

Today we started out having breakfast out. I had started making chicken noodle soup yesterday and then finished it when we got home from breakfast. This afternoon we took our chicken noodle soup and went to Sharon and Bill's to play several hands of rummy. Sharon had also made freshed baked rolls, several were sampled before we ate fresh out of the oven. We had not played cards for a long time so it was a lot of fun.

This past week Ashley was bitten by the GI flu bug. It took her about 2-1/2 days to recover. Just think how long it would take Milan or I to recover! That was the first time she has gotten sick as a rookie first year nurse so that was not to bad.

Monday afternoon and evening and Tuesday afternoon and evening we had the opportunity to babysit our great niece who is nine months old. She was a lot of fun. I can't wait to have grandchildren! I taught her how to fake cough and as of Friday I think her mother was still thanking me! LOL

Chicken Soup and a Fun Sunday

Today was a fun Sunday. We started our day by going out for breakfast. Then we came home and I finished making chicken noodle soup. Then this afternoon we proceeded to Sharon and Bill's to play several hands of rummy. I took my delicious chicken noodle soup along and shared it for supper. Sharon had made fresh baked rolls, which really several were sampled much before we ate supper because they were still warm. Then we made it home to watch the end of the Nascar race.

Ashley was bitten by the GI flu bug this week. It took her about 2-1/2 days to recover. The first time she has been sick since becoming a rookie nurse. Just think how long it would take Milan or I to recover if we got it!

This week we had the opportunity to watch our 9 month old great niece for a couple of late afternoon and evening hours on two different days. She was so much fun. I can't wait to have grandchildren! I taught her how to fake cough and her mom told Ashley on Friday that she was still fake coughing LOL.

We got about 3 inches of snow Friday night into Saturday morning. But it sounds like it will not be on the ground for very long.

Also I got tagged, so here is the photo, fourth folder - fourth picture

M R DUCKS!

Just heard a commentator on the Speed Channel say M R Ducks. It made me think of somebody special to me (my favorite daughter-in-law to be)!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

I guess I better get on the stick on do a post!

The most exciting news from us: The house inside the gate right next door to us has gotten sold. A couple who own a factory in town (Dynamic Tube) has bought it. We are looking forward to nice neighbors. Hopefully they won't be crazy like the last one.

Ashley and I have been going to basketball games in Maquoketa and going to Clarence and watching Caitlin play. I have kind of gotten back into the basketball season again this year. We have also gone to a few of Ben's wrestling meets. I don't know much about wrestling but I really like watching it.

I am looking forward to a nice warm weekend! It will be nice not to see snow on the ground but then we will be seeing dingy brown I guess. I am going to have to start watching for the first robin. A fella told me the other day he heard they were in Indiana so maybe they are heading our way.

I hope everybody is doing well and staying warm. See you in the next post!
