Field Notes- Post 4097. Yes. I've written to YOU..... Four Thousand Ninety Seven Times.

 Carrot Soup.  I made another Carrot Soup in the Vita Mix years ago.  Beans (white canned) and carrots.  It whizzed until it was hot enough to eat.  As soup.  Very creamy.  I shared it with my cross the street neighbor. She was recovering from a broken wrist.  I had to go back and open the jar lid for her.  Lesson Learned.  Make sure giftee can open and actually eat the soup.

This is a different recipe.  From my Master Gardener Classmate.  Vegetarian. I am surrounded by vegetarians.  Across the street, my walking buddy for when Riley was alive, my gardening buddy. And I sort of take to it quite naturally but also occasionally eat non vegetarian things.  BBQ Pork.  Pot Roast.

So.....the Football Game last night.  I showed up just as the ambulance was leaving- no lights. I'll let that speak for itself.   It was like watching something operatic........a very very sad opera.  Broken young men.

All thinking...that could have been ME. But it's my Team mate and I can't help in any way.

Today the Library was open.  I got G three 500 piece puzzles.  He likes having a jigsaw puzzle to do. I got two books I had requested. I mailed three bill envelopes and stopped by the bank to order more checks.  Two or three weeks.  To get them.  I can come in for counter checks if they are needed.  At the Library I renewed my library card- it had expired.  My heart nearly stopped when I saw the notification.  Really.  No Library?

Watching MSNBC to see the House votes for Speaker.  I think Kevin did him self a dis-service in moving his belongings into the Office he has NOT even gotten YET...Wow.  Disrespect much?????? 

And that is January third.  I need to start a pot of Chicken Soup for husband.  It will take a few hours to cook.  I should figure out how to do it in the Crock Pot.  I should figure out a lot of things.........in three years of COVID isolation- I've lost most of my Brain Cells.  Just by not using them.  Joanne
