The boyfriend had an eye doctor appointment at 8 this morning. All's looking good, and he's all set to have the other eye fixed on the 27th. A thumbs up.
Put together a chicken and rice casserole for tonight's supper. Had left-over chicken, so I added 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup, 1 can water, 1 can milk, a bit of onion powder and garlic powder, salt and pepper, 2 cups uncooked instant rice, and a cup of grated cheddar cheese. Added a bag of frozen broccoli. For dessert, we're having sugar-free strawberry jello. Woo-hoo!
Received a message that darling Cuddy will be arriving tomorrow at 4, instead of on Thursday. What happy news. Cannot wait for that little package of love to get back to us.
After this morning's eye doctor appointment, we went for a trolley out in the country. Saw a bunch of turkeys out in a field and one squirrel ran across the road in front of us. There's a small stone house we drove by, and I thought if we were young I'd want to buy it and fix it up. Kinda sobering to think that there's no longer any room for that kind of big dream. Will always love old stone houses, like the one I lived in my first eight years.
Ten days til Christmas Eve. It's the night before Christmas that holds the excitement for those of us who opened presents the night before. Isn't it interesting that after two centuries there remains debate about who for certain wrote the cherished poem, Twas the Night Before Christmas.
Still going with the notion it was wriiten in the Constable Hall (home) about 7 miles from us in 1822 by a professor, Clement Clarke Moore, for his children when his family was visiting the Constables. Have seen the side room off the parlor many times in which the poem was penned.
ReplyDeleteNever could understand how/why there'd be a question about who wrote Twas the Night Before Christmas. As far as I'm concerned, I'm going with your notion....and to think you've been in the parlor where the poem was written. Yay, for you, girlfriend. Way cool.
