Alphabet Soup

Rick left this morning for Illinois and he won't be back until next Friday. It's a long time for him to be away and I miss him already. When he gets home we will have our Christmas Tree Decorating Extravaganza . The only attendees are Rick, Katie and myself. The event is comprised of cracking a bottle of wine and putting out some cheese and crackers so we can indulge while we decorate the tree. (No silly reader, Katie doesn't get any wine!)

This afternoon Katie came looking for me as I was watching TV in the bedroom. She tugged on the sleeve of my shirt and said, "Come." I was led into the dining room where she had prepared lunch for me, as well as for herself, Baby and Polar Bear. She demanded that I sit, which I did after I took a picture.

We had Alphabet Soup. It was delicious.
