Note the green bell pepper

I just did an edit on the previous blog; to add one bell pepper to the recipe for pulled pork!!

We have stayed home all weekend with Ken getting his football hit, and me.........working on my quilting project. I did walk yesterday, but it is dark and drizzly today, so I will stay in.

I had been trying to reach Colleen since we returned home on Thursday and was beginning to get concerned when she called yesterday. Seems I had forgotten that she had a business trip to Pasadena coming up, and she managed to add a stay in Las Vegas on the way. So she and a friend have spent the week end lounging by the pool and gambling the requisite $20. She goes on to Pasadena this afternoon for two days of meetings at the main campus and then returns to Phoenix on Wednesday.

Lois, Cinda, Colleen, maybe Calla, and I are planning a Chick Fling the last week end in October. We did something similar two years ago when we all went to Portland to celebrate Lois' birthday. We considered various places for this year, but decided Cinda's lovely home in Bellevue would be perfect since Curt has a business trip and won't be around to have to put up with us. We figure the money we save on hotel rooms and plane fare can be put towards a catered dinner, massages and pedicures, good booze and limousine service. I suggested we smoke cigars and watch dirty movies, but no one has taken me up on that one! What generation gap?

This was Homecoming weekend at the University of Maryland, and Sarah was going to take Rachel to the game, so I'll be anxious for this evening's phone call to hear all about it. Ken suggested Rachel should attend all the games since UofM won yesterday. Keith has been attending the games, so I suspect he was there yesterday. Between a friend who is in management for Coca Cola who frequently offers box seats and catered food, and the neighbor who is the UofM golf pro, he has fared quite well for golf and sporting events at school.

Speaking of food; I need to finish dinner - the Sunday dinner of our childhoods - pot roast, mashed potatoes and gravy and carrots.

Ciao

The coming week looks quiet with no appointments for anything to be repaired.....not us, nor the car nor the motor home. Whoopee, we can stay home.
