My nice husband

After doing most of the cooking for about 25 years for 7 people on a daily basis, the gloss has worn off. I used to like cooking. Now it's just another chore. Grocery shopping too. So imagine my delight when Ray developed a passion for trying new recipes."Would you mind if I make supper?" he says regularly,"I'd like to try a new recipe from my soup cookbook." Would I mind? Let me think for a minute. Uh, the answer is NO I wouldn't mind, not one bit. Thankyou God for Raymond. Did I mention he also loves to grocery shop? I have to watch how much I talk about this with my friends because it could incite envy among them....

A truer thing was never said

"It's cold.Iwant warm." That's what my son Johnny said when I showed him the first snowfall of the winter when he was really little.
This reminds me of a poem I learned when I was a kid:
Whether the weather is cold
or whether the weather is hot
Whether the weather is fair
or whether the weather is not
We'll weather the weather
Whatever the weather
Whether we like it or not.
