It has been snowing off and on all day here...very pretty, but I am sure my about-to-bloom daffodils are more than a little confused.
I had several of the red potatoes still left from my 5 lb bag....so I combined a few recipes and came up with a mighty yummy recipe for them. I cut them into quarters or eighths, depending on how big they were, drizzled olive oil over them and then seasoned them with sea salt, pepper, dill weed and parmesan cheese. Then, added a few dabs of butter and baked until done.. turning occasionally and adding a little more parmesan before they came out of the oven. YUM. We bbq'd the pork chops, added some salad and viola! quite the meal. (we also pulled some bread out of the freezer and my mom made some asparagus.) Feels like I ate at a 5 star tonight.
I watched Nights in Rodanthe this afternoon..so,so. While the hub and DD3 watched star wars downstair..I retreated to the bedroom and that new cozy bedding. It was not the best I have ever watched...but relaxing in that new bedding and all those pillows made me feel like I had escaped for a couple of hours.
If any of my friends here pray or send good thoughts, we could use them. I learned today that DD3s bad-influence, contolling BF was discharged today after just 2 months in the military...and will be home tomorrow. It was devatating news and I am still reeling. I had just started to feel like the old DD3 was coming back to us. Now this. Perhaps her not having a car right now is a blessing in disguise. I guess we will see what the near future brings. darn.
I am missing that hour tonight. I love that it is still light out at almost 7pm...but I am missing the hour and will definately feel it in the morning...but alas...within a week or so, it will be the usual and no biggie.
And now, after snowing much of the day, the sun is out. No wonder my daffodils are confused.
Snow, red potatoes and some more bad news.

Prayers for your daughter. I am sure as a parent that is an awfully tough situation to be in.

What does DD say about him? Is she happy? Who is he blaming his discharge on? Hopefully he is still looking to expand his horizons....elsewhere!
