Ok, I'm back now

After enjoying (tremendously) DC for a few weeks, we got word that our daughter was injured in Iraq-mortar attack or IAD-depends who you ask. Everything is "classified" to these people-she was laid up in Ramstein (germany) for 3 weeks before they bothered to tell us. Shes going to be OK-eventually. Shes wrestling with some personal demons as well so we're saying our prayers.


So needless to say, I've been a little preoccupied. Now that things have settled down, I hope I can rejoin you all and pick up where we left off.

So, whats for dinner??
