It was another busy day. Woody did his Saturday errands including WalMart and the library. Erin entertained and was entertained by one or another or at times multiples of her cousins. The boys were over first and then the girls came over looking a bit bleary-eyed after their sleepover. Various DS games were played and later a game of Life was played before everyone departed for lunch. While all that was going on I got two chickens stewing for the start of our chicken stock. After I cut the meat from the bones I put the bones back in the broth and kept the pot simmering for quite a few hours. The stock is in the fridge chilling and the meat has been cut off the bones...some ready for a casserole or soup or salad. Erin sliced the white meat from one to use in sandwiches and we had some of those chicken slices along with asparagus and a baked potato for supper. Let's see...that is eight meals down since lunch on Thursday. Notice how I count the days...by the meals! We ate leftovers for lunch...polished off the eggplant parm...one less dish in the fridge. After supper and getting the kitchen cleaned up, we have all adjourned to different parts of the house...Woody is in the family room with a crossword puzzle and/or a book with the TV on, Erin is in "her" room working on her computer, I am blogging and will head back to my recliner once I publish this to read some more in my latest book...settling in for the night. Tonight's photo is just a sampline of what seems to be a bumper crop of acorns this year...and you should hear them hitting the roof when all is quiet around the house at night...can be rather disconcerting at times they hit so hard...and not just one at a time...but often many...I guess they hit so hard due to the fact the trees are so tall over the house and they can gather up momentum on the way down!
