Such a lovely day. I picked up Kate at 9AM and we went and got our Share groceries. Then we stopped by her house and put her groceries away and came back to my house to finish the pasties.

Kate and I spent the next three hours, chopping veggies, grinding meat and mixing everything together. Then we rolled out the balls of pastry into rounds and stuffed them with the mixture. We baked all that we were not eating tonight for 30 minutes and then wrapped them in foil for freezing.

About halfway through we had our lunch.

We each ended up with 16 pasties and a nice bunch of ground meat and veggies for hash for our breakfast tomorrow.

We used pork, venison, potatoes, cabbage, onion, carrots and rutabaga in our pasties. We had them for supper tonight and they are really good.

Then I tried to nap but did not have much luck. I went to the 4PM Mass. It was a nice Mass. I saw several friends there, notably Ruth Dobrozinski. Her husband Wally has been quite sick so we decided that we are tough wild women and will use each other as rocks to lean on. She is a real dear.

Tomorrow we will be hosting Jim, Michelle, Bobbie and Bill as Jim and Michelle will be returning from Oklahoma, we hope and are sure, with good news and will be leaving withing the month for a new position in Oklahoma City. We pray that this will be the case and that all will go well. It is a big move and another of our children will be further away, but this is the way things go and we can always go visit.

That is all the news for now. Take care and have a good Sunday.

Love

Mary
