Family Time is Quality Time!

This past week was full of adventures.  Jud's siblings and their families came in from all across the country to go to family reunions and celebrate their parents 50th Wedding Anniversary.   Virginia, Massachusetts, Arizona, California, and Utah were all represented.  We enjoyed spending time with everyone, and loved getting dirty and dusty four wheeling in Fairview, Utah for three days.  Jud and I hosted the 50th Wedding Anniversary Party at our home, and besides some untimely winds, everything went great.  It was a special night I think we'll always remember.

Here's my menu for the week:
Monday:  Chicken Curry with Cashews, Basmati Rice, and Sauteed Green Beans
Tuesday:  Loaded Baked Potato Soup with Cheese Garlic Biscuits
Wednesday:  Pasta with Marinara Sauce, Green Salad and Fresh Fruit
Thursday:  Grilled Chicken with Potato Salad and Vegetable Tray

Ninny....

Today was almost laughable.  I'm glad my fifteen year old has a sense of humor.  He's taking his first long distance trip without his parents, and I wanted to make sure he was ultra prepared (of course).  I wonder how many times I asked him if he had packed his deoderant?  What about extra socks?  And the swim shirt for the beach?  How about the toothbrush?  Floss?  Sunblock?  I had to stop after I got the severe 'roll of the eyes' for asking if he had enough briefs?  Yes.  I'm that bad.  I miss him and he's only been gone four hours.  This thing about kids growing up is for the birds....

Thursday:  The Ultimate Barbequed Chicken, Couscous Salad and Garden Greens
