So I saved a few places ....




THE GROUND HOG AND ME

Saw his shadow, did not see his shadow - big whoop...

 It is already Spring in Mendon - close to sixty on Groundhog day ... sure, that is something
One year ago....( I prefer today , just odd, thats all )

The first rule about no snow or ice on February 1st is....


 Yes, we are all pretty much afraid to talk about it
 But here is the thing, it is about this time of the season, or a little later when you get totally housebound and so want to get out - but the nine feet of snow just won't let you. Not happening this year, we got in a two mile plus walk , clear as can be.


DOWNTON ABBEY

We shooed out house guest away at 8:50 and settled in to watch.

Things will never be the same.


If you do not watch this looks like some odd horror movie, if you do watch you were up and out of your seat screaming like all the rest of us.. 

Lord Fellows got us big time, with only - I think three and a Christmas episodes left he shocked us. Just as much with Mr Pamook or Sybil , he lulls you in with the dry as toast hospital war and then goes straight ALIEN.

YESTERDAY


A busy day yesterday, and I meant to get it all here last night , but fell asleep .

Started with Church, I didn't go - but we took Neil over.
 It was annual meeting with a big pot luck, folks make all kinds of different things, a very good selection.

I only found out we needed to take something while I was cooking Indian food with Roja. So, naturally I knocked out a little curry light coconut chicken - which they ate every bit of and licked the place clean.
 There was a rainbow cake

I just dropped off food, helped set up a little and came home, because we had folks coming over for dinner that night. Started out as just our pals Don and Susan, but at the last min. our good pal Jack was in town and came over as well. Only had to buy another chicken!





  •  Roast Chicken
  • Mashed Potatoes
  • Gravy
  • English Peas
  • Turnips and Turnip Greens
  • Squash Casserole


 I was just in the mood to cook , and it was all very good if I do say so myself.
Apple Dumplings with Ice Cream for dessert.
