Earlier today, DH took Sweet Girl to the matinee of a local rodeo - he picked up a free pair of tickets at a radio remote.

Meanwhile, Kiddo and his friend were off to the gym.

And of course, Munchkin is still gone to my ex-husband’s.

The solitude gave me a chance to walk around my house and enjoy the scenery.

Like the hymn says… there is beauty all around, when no one’s at home… right? At least, that’s how my sis and I sang it when we were younger.

Let’s see… DH’s whereabouts? Check. Kiddo? Check. Munchkin? Check. Sweet Girl? Check.

Hey, wait a minute… I forgot one.

OK, I knew he was here - but I foolishly thought he’d be content playing on the computer and leave me alone for a minute.

That’s ok. I know how to appease him…

Thanks for the recipe, Prudy.
