I just came home and was smelling something very good for dinner. Amaree made FRESH Salsa with our own tomatoes. hummmmm…. I looked and saw what was in the oven and saw that it as a Spanish rice dish with chicken. As I looked across the oven I saw one of Amaree’s hot pack rice bags [...] OK, I hope not really… But I did forget something HORRIBLE while loading the car to come down to Great Falls for 5 days… I packed all of our clothes, shoes, toiletries, a sack lunch to eat on the way, cleaned the house… etc… No, I didn’t forget one of my children.

And it’s wonderful. And there are no screaming, temperamental kids. It’s so fabulously quiet. I’m thinking about joining them. My eyes are getting really heavy.
