I am hanging in there. Mourning the death of my oldest son. 

On a recent soup thread I said we Floridians must take advantage of rare soup weather.This weekend is one of those times. All meal plans are out the window as I plan soups or stews for the next 2-3 days. By mid-week we'll be back up to the 80's.

My husband just finished defending his thesis. He is geting his dotorate!!!! It has been a long 7 years.

If you've been meaning to watch Downton Abbey S3 on PBS online, do it soon. All seven episodes are available but won't be after Sunday, March 3.

Taking a board break for awhile. See y'all in a couple of months.

I need someone to stand over me and threaten me until I get off my backside and do something about the mess that has taken over my house the last two days while my kids were sick! Any volunteers? I promise to return the favor. :)
