It's very early, my husband was in and out of bed all night long. I would just get back to sleep, and up again he would get, than he's back in bed his cold feet on mine. I gave up, just got out of bed, I am still tired, maybe he will fall asleep, than I can get back in bed. I wanted to get up early, but this might be a little early, or it will be a long day I made some soup yesterday, I got the recipe out of the newspaper. They had all these Irish recipes for St. Patrick's Day, it was a potato, cabbage, and bacon soup, turned out good. I love potato soup, and this was a little different, even my husband liked it. I am making my oldest son's Birthday Dinner today, I can't believe he will be 53 years old, I remember the first time he really belly laughed, my husband had this little yellow rubber ducky, and he was saying quack, quack, quack and putting the duck up to our sons neck, and my son stated laughing, he kept laughing, as long as my husband kept doing it, he was so cute. I am going to make Twice Baked Potatoes, I have never made them, but my daughter makes them all the time, so I thought I would give them a try. We went out to eat with my sister in laws, and they had twice baked potatoes, I really liked them, that's what got me started on them. I baked the Birthday cake yesterday, I'll frost it today, and than I'll write Happy Birthday with green frosting. We bought out son a patio fire pit for his Birthday, he told us he got his patio all fixed up, and he hinted for a fire pit, so that's what he's getting. My step brother died last week, I knew he had been having health issues, but didn't know they were life threatening. His son called us, they are going to have a Memorial service up at their cabin (same little town our cabin is at ) in May after all the snow melts, they are going to spread his ashes in the back of their cabin. Their son died several years ago, and that's where his ashes are, so father and son will be together. He was a good man, good father, he will be missed. I have lost more friends and relatives in the last ten years, than I did in any other time of my life. I guess life's all about letting go !!!! Sully in Sunny California
