We had a slight disappointment yesterday. We were looking forward to driving to Hochston to visit John and Gini, who have donkeys on their several-hundred-acre farm. It was very cold, but sunny, and we like them. But Gini came down with the flu and cancelled. Poor Gini! We will do it in the spring, when it will be warmer.

Ray went to kill privet on the property next to Kenney Ridge. I made oatmeal and cookies. Molli shredded the chicken for chicken pot pie. My Dad came and Elisa got up and the four of us played Oh Hell as the sun warmed the house slowly. Elisa and I are ahead. When Ray got home, we ate chicken pot pie. It was awfully good. Homemade crust is the best.

Molli and I walked on Three Oaks Drive with the dogs. I headed back and she ran a bit. We all showered and dressed and eventually went to the gym meet. It was really fun, but the time of day is a tad inconvenient. We got home about 6:30 and thrashed around making frittata.

Ray prepared the broccoli, Elisa the peppers, and I cut up onion and garlic and cooked it. Also a sauce. Asian Frittata. yum. A little TV, a little dessert and to bed around 10.
