So its cold here in Providence. I knew this coming in, but man with the heat off in October its definitely cold in the house. Yesterday it was cold. So cold that Eric was wearing a toboggan in the house while watching football, though it may have been an experiential thing too. I made Calezones, both spinach & cheese as well as a tomato sauce sausage with peppers & onions. I also finished freezing the end of the fresh corn for the winter. It will be great in soups and casseroles, much better than that canned stuff. It was very relaxing.
You wonder why I needed to relax? Well Josh's folks came to visit. Don't get me wrong I love them, but I had to clean house as well as be a helpful hostess. Luckily they didn't stay the any of the nights with us. We went down to Newport and walked part of the cliff hike. At Point Judith we ate yummy seafood. I was impressed Josh had a huge plate of Calamari in front of him and was unable to eat it all. Anyways the food was good. Then on Saturday Suzanne (aka Josh's Mom) and I wandered around Wickenden St. It gave Josh and John (aka Josh's Dad) the ability to hang out without the girls.
I have an announcement: I will be in NC from December 21st to the 29th. This time will be divided between my family, Josh's family, and friends with special allocations already for Joseph, Laura, and Christina. I know there will be the traditional Howrimore (Lawrimore & Howard) Christmas party. Sad to say I won't be able to make it to CH during this break unless something goes wrong with my grad school applications.
I suppose not much more exciting news. I'll have next Monday off for Columbus Day. For everyone not in New England, it is a celebration of when Columbus supposedly set foot in the New World (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbus_day). I just think New Englanders want a day off in October because in August they have off Victory Day (Formerly V-J Day), September - Labour Day, October-Columbus Day, November-Veterans Day & Thanksgiving, December-Christmas/Winter Holiday.
*Book Suggestion: Acts of Faith by Eboo Patel founder of the Interfaith Youth Core* Very inspirational, and makes me feel proud and not alone in the work that I am doing.
Now it is time for bed!
Much love!
