summer into winter

Around here we just jump right from 80 degrees to 32.  One day you'll find us at the park in shorts, the next day we dig out sweaters and gloves.  It's hard for the cat to keep up his coat!

Hansel and Gretel were not home.

Then next Olympic sport, synchronized swinging.

Boy in a cage; he's smiling now....

Some girls did not have fun!

Some girls just looked funny!

And then there was some puppy smoochin' goin' on.

This morning we woke up to ice in the pool - yikes!

When it's cold I like to make soup.  I call it Man Soup, that gets all of them to eat it!

Man Soup

1 pound smoked sausage, or turkey sausage/kielbasa, sliced in 1/4 slices

1 onion chopped

2 14oz cans stewed tomatoes, undrained

1 16oz can pink beans, drained

1 16oz can kidney beans, drained

1 box frozen spinach

1 TBL. chicken bullion

3 potatoes sliced thinly

Brown the sausage, add onion, cook until translucent.  Add everything else but the spinach.  simmer 45 minutes or so.  Add spinach, simmer until it's all hot. 

This is yummy and good for everybody!
