British Are Coming...Or is it Pirates?

As you can see, Erin and I did manage to make English muffins...with some help from Erin's cousins.  It has been an active day...one moment we are English...you should hear Erin's British accent!  Then the next moment they are pirates...Erin has a very good pirate accent also!  She and her cousins had fun with a pirate treasure hunt using a treasure map drawn by Erin.  We ate lunch at Nathan and Kathy's.  We helped them eat up their stuffed zucchini boats...very good!  Then we helped them eat up the birthday ice cream.  We cooked the English muffins after lunch.  The cousins continued to play...quite a rousing time.  We were quite excited when thunder joined in the cacophony!  And, along with the thunder came a nice gentle rain that lasted longer than just a few seconds.  Things under trees actually got wet this time.  When the cousins went home, Erin and I had a little respite and then got busy on tonight's supper...linguine and red clam sauce.  Yummy!  Erin made a side salad out of tomatoes and cucumbers, mozzarella cheese, oregano and a drizzle of olive oil...a Caprese salad of sorts.  Good on the side with our pasta.  We also made garlic toast with hot dog buns.  I'm full.  Woody is just coming home from his walk to the prayer room at church.  He walked seven miles this morning.  I think that the three of us will probably take a walk after the sun goes down...and after our dinner settles a bit more! Grammy is feeling her age!  Not sure why I decided to change our bed today...but am just now getting it remade...just hasn't been time before...well, during the time that I rested...but I needed that power nap more than I needed to get the sheets back on our bed! Ready for some evening down-time! The English muffins are very good, by the way...definitely we were successful with those.  Some of them are to be used to make an English breakfast recipe in the morning.
