Online!

This picture reminded me of a cute cartoon that I saw the other day. The picture had many wires and many birds sitting on said wires and the caption was: "Looks like everyone is online!"

Woody got up early and went on a six-mile walk. We both went to the early service at church. Abigail sat with us this morning. We both went to Sunday School. Woody taught his sixth grade boys' class. We came home and had a sandwich for lunch and then I got busy and made the soup that I didn't have enough energy yesterday to make. I made Ham and Barley soup. We had it not long ago. It is a really hearty soup with lots of veggies in it: carrots, celery, onions, mushrooms, turnips (this time we added a rutabaga along with some turnips), and green beans. All the flavors blend and you really don't realize that you have a couple of unusual (ones (turnips and rutabagas) that we don't eat except in this soup) veggies in it. It is a stick-to-your-ribs type of soup. We ate some for supper, but I look forward to eating it tomorrow when the flavors have had a bit more time to blend together. While the soup was still simmering, Woody headed out to the monthly deacons' meeting. The soup was almost ready when he came back in the door a couple of hours later. After making the soup I was pretty much done in so flopped in a chair in the family room with a football game going and promptly fell asleep and had a good nap. Woody has read and watched football. I did a little reading prior to falling asleep. It has been a pretty calm Sunday...so far. And, so far, we're still on baby watch! We had a back-up plan if Kathy went into labor this morning during church/Sunday School times...trade vehicles...they would take ours to the hospital and leave theirs so we could get all the children home! Today will tell if this baby will march to a different drummer...all their others have been born exactly one week prior to their due date and today is that day...still a few more hours for him to follow suit!
