As my Texans have finished school for the year and will be arriving here in the next few weeks, I am thinking about…food.

Dinners, to be precise.

What to do, what to do…

I am slowly getting more energy, which means I can put ribs in the oven to cook for 6 hours and I can put pork roasts in the crock pot to cook for 6 hours and I can jam chicken breasts into the crock pot to cook for 6 hours.

Pretty good, huh? I am quite proud of myself.

We will have ribs and pulled pork sandwiches and chicken broccoli casseroles before we play games on the screened porch and watch the sunset. Banjo Man is collecting pasta salad recipes and is anxious to try them.

It is so beautiful here. Some days are warmer than others. Some days are sunny, some not.

It’s all good. I take naps. And we go to bed early. After months of doctor appointments and tests, it is heavenly to stay home every day and look at the mountains.
