We had a busy day today. The Discovery show was nice. They reviewed all the tours for the year and told about a couple of future ones. And we got to eat a donut and drink coffee and punch.

We also got the car washed today too and it looks beautiful. There is no precipitation forecast for the next couple of days so it should stay clean for a while. It is cold though. We walked in 14 degree temperatures. Fortunately it was not too windy, so it was bearable.

Chelsea was glad that we did not haul her off again today. She seems to feel pretty good and except for a short period of time that she kept asking to go out this afternoon, she seems to be a bit better.

Here is an imponderable that I received by e-mail from my friend Mary Lou.

"Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars,
but check when you say the paint is wet? "

Blessed Trinity is going to have a party and I get to be one of the planners. You know how I love to host and feed people. We are going to have a ham dinner in the church hall and invite ALL the volunteers for a social and meal. Nothing like bonding over food.

I am going to fix the famous Kunert Spinach Noodle Egg Casserole for dinner on Friday. I believe that I have given you that recipe but just in case, I will include it here for you.

FAMOUS KUNERT SPINACH EGG AND NOODLE CASSEROLE

4 Cups Cooked Noodles
1 Can Spinach (Drained)
Velveeta Cheese
8 hard boiled eggs
Margarine

Layer in the order listed. Noodles, tablespoons of spinach, sliced Velveeta, sliced hard eggs. Each layer is dotted with margerine or butter and lightly salted and peppered. Divid it into about three layers and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour until hot and the cheese is all melted through.

I don't care if you are a cheese purist or not - Velveeta tastes better than "real cheese" in this casserole. Go for it. Don't skimp on the butter either.



Even if you don't like spinach, you will like this. Ask Jim.
