A really hot bowl of tomato soup.

Finishing a reallly good book: The Yada Yada Prayer Group Gets Down (it's book 2).

Things that have made me happy this week:

Our 5 year old read his first sentence!

It was, "The pig sat in the mud."

Watching your child learn to sound out words & read is just one of the greatest moments ever.

In other school happiness, our 17 year old daughter just aced her 9-week math exam. And it was 4 pages long. 100% WOOOOOOOOT!

Green peppers have been making me happy lately too.

As in:

Grilled, stuffed peppers. Stuffed with our sweet corn & cheese & onions. Oh yummmmm.....

AND, Green Pepper Jelly! Oh, it's so good on crackers with cream cheese!

Both of these were new recipes & both were keepers.

Thoughts of going fishing tomorrow!

FRIDAYS! FRIDAYS! FRIDAYS!

WEEKENDS! WEEKENDS! WEEKENDS!
