Hi, I made it to Ohio in one piece. I didn't sleep but 30 minutes on the train so when I got here I had been up for almost 24 hours. Needless to say I was very tired but there was a lot to do and Audrey wasn't in the best of moods yesterday. I tried to help out as much as I could but there are limits on what I can do and most of the time I felt like I was in her way so I just moved to a different location in the house and crocheted for a while.

Audrey had planned a birthday party for us yesterday so one of the things she was doing was making cakes. Yes cakes, a German Chocolate for me and a Carrot for her. The German chocolate cake was a box mix but the frosting was home made. The carrot was all from scratch and I have to tell you it was sooooooo much better that any box mix I have had. I'm going to copy the recipe and make it when I get home as a home coming cake for myself, Mike and TJ. I can't wait for that. Mike is going to let me use his food processor to grate the carrots. I think I may add a little more carrot that Audrey did in her's though. And what can I say about the German Chocolate cake other that FAB. Audrey has a cookbook with the recipe for the frosting in it and if she's not careful it may end up in my suitcase when I go home. Of course it's probably on the internet so maybe I'll just look it up and print it out when I get home. I'll have to get a 3 ring binder to put all my recipes that I've printed out from the computer in anyway so what's one more?

I went to bed early last night and slept like a rock. Probably because all I had for sleep was about an hour total since Friday morning. Audrey gave me a clock but I must not have set it right as it didn't go off (that I heard anyway) and John woke me up at 7:30 or so. I was so stiff and sore from the train that I wasn't sure I could make it down the stairs but I did. It was nice to have someone else make the coffee and serve me in the morning. I even managed NOT to be in a grouchy mood, which for me is kind of hard. Audrey slept in and John and I went to 11am mass this morning. We stopped at the Kroger's grocery store after as Audrey said I couldn't use her half and half so I thought I'd buy some for myself so she couldn't yell at me about using hers. I don't like getting yelled at about using something that you can just go to the store and get more of. I got a half gallon of the half and half and I hope that's enough for the 2 of us for the month. If not then I'll just pick up more.

Well I've had my lunch so I think I'll go lay down like the rest of the house. Lazy Sunday here. It's kind of boring without the TV to keep me company but the good news is there isn't a data limit like Audrey said so I can at least keep up with most of the shows I watch at home. And I don't have to suffer through a lot of commercials! There are a few but only one at a time I believe so I can handle that.

Till next time.
