An obedient wife ;-)

Well,
Lance says I have to post and being the submissive wife that I am, I shall.
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to blog about...really.
I had the day off today. That was exciting. I slept late, finished a book, and
researched cheaper ways to feed my family. Good luck with that, I know. Prices
are going up, and my boys are growing.
On a related note, we will have one less mouth to feed this year. Julia is headed
to JBU this fall. She'll live with my Mom, bless her heart, and attend our alma mater,
hopefully singing in the same choir in which we were lovingly involved. It's a great
school and an amazing opportunity for Julia. She deserves a new, exciting chapter in
her life. I don't know what I'll do without her. At times, she seems like the only
sane one around here!!! Seriously, I'm sure I'll be a basketcase for a while.
We've told her to make sure the first boy she brings home is expendable. (she's sure
Lance will kill him!!!!) I know he wouldn't. I think he can be pretty intimidating
to those who know him not. The rest of us know what a softie he is.
So, I think I'll attempt to make a menu, month by month, and have nights designated
by ethnicity. You know, Mexican, Cajun, Italian, Indian...... I'll let you know how
it goes. I'm sure David would like to make sure squash is not included on any of my
lists. (he's sure he will die upon eating any kind of squash)
Anyway, let me know if anyone has any ideas for fixing gourmet meals on a dime, so to
speak. I'll keep you posted on my little experiment. I'm planning on starting August 1st.
That's Friday...it'll have to be easy and quick. Lance and I play tag team with our jobs
on Fridays. hmmmmm....Pasta? Stir-fry? We'll see.

Rite of Passage

Well, our second child, Caleb, has reached 'adulthood'; or, he's still alive for his 18th birthday. As a 'rite of passage' father and son sat down to enjoy a first for each-a real cigar. Just a nice relaxing time, talking and puffing.
