Umbrella

My life has been pretty boring lately. We did go to Panaca a couple of weeks ago and got Mike's mom a little wood for the winter. And I head to Utah for another dr app't this week.

I was so happy to have my produce all canned and then Mike asks if I'm going to can him some chili while my canning stuff is still out. Well I wasn't planning on it but he talked me into it. He said, "You know it is my favorite thing to eat in the winter." So yesterday I canned chili. I did try a new twist to it. I bought some roasts on sale and made my own ground beef. I watched Alton Brown do this quite some time ago but wasn't sure about trying it. He said to grind it course for chili. I chunked the meat and did it in the food processor. I was surprised at how good it worked out. I will probably make another batch of chili for him and bottle some rehydrated dried beans and then be done!!

When I got to church today I saw a lady walking in under an umbrella. Now that's ok except it was only a light sprinkle and the umbrella was almost as big as a beach umbrella. As I got closer, I saw that a deacon was carrying the umbrella for her. That's interesting. Then they got to the door and he folded up the umbrella. But then he sees me and comes running with his oversized umbrella. Now I'm the dork under the umbrella!
It was a very nice thing for our deacons to do. I noticed another deacon at one of the other doors also. And since I am such a senior citizen, I would get such treatment.
