Saturday

Woke up with an upset stomach... No time for that, have to get the fixin's for today made up. Started by making basically a shrimp chowder or potato and shrimp soup, if you will. Cooked a pound of shrimp in their shells, then peeled and coarse-chopped them added to potatoes, onions and celery that had been cooked in milk, butter and cream. Very, very good!

Made up a veggie platter with the fresh vegetables I got at Westborn yesterday: Green peppers & red pepper slices, celery sticks, baby carrots, radishes, cauliflower and button mushrooms with a vegetable dip. Also made a platter with mini-pitas and two toppings: spinach dip and spinach with artichoke dip (both also bought at Westborn).

Luanne showed up around 11:00 AM. Jake and Carla were supposed to come around 2:00 or 3:00, but Jake needed more parts for Luanne's computer (he's adding a new hard drive and a CD-burner) so they didn't get here until after 4:00 PM. I still wasn't feeling so hot, so before they came, I took about an hour nap.

We snacked, talked, then played a board game (the Game of Life) which I lost (makes perfect sense to me, lol!) and three games of Eucher.

Coming in from the porch after waving goodbye to them, it dawned on me they didn't take their ham! No Sunday morning ham and eggs for them!!

Luanne went to bed and I retired to my bedroom and read until around midnight.
