My weekend

I don't get why people like leather? I don't like how it sticks to the skin.  I do like how it stays clean. Our recliners are leather and they are super comfortable but I don't like sticking.   I don't get the hardwood floors thing either. Sure they are easier to keep clean. But they aren't soft or warm to walk on. Mom once told me she remembered when people couldn't wait to get carpeting to cover the cold wood or linoleum. lol!  And I don't get cats who think they can do whatever they want whenever they want....like keep you awake!  I am shutting the door tonight. I don't care what Lanny says or I am taking the spare room and making it mine. The dog wanted out, the cat wanted to play, the cat climbed on me crying to be pet several times last night. I am over it.

There! Had my vent session and I am ready to get on with the day.  Even papa warned the animals to stay away from me when I got up! haha!  He is napping in the chair now. His leather chair.

Had a pretty good weekend. We went to Lauren's game but Lanny forgot our chairs. Luckily Amanda wasn't using hers so I had a place to sit. My back would have never lasted the whole game.  Lauren got to play goalie the second half and I think she did awesome!!!!  She stopped about 5 goals. Two got past her but one went over her head and she could do nothing about it.  Ryan and Amanda coached the team and they played like a new team the second half. Did great!

After the game we came home and had some of the leftover clam chowder I made from the night before. It was so good!!! My recipe is on my recipe site to the left. Or http://langagerfamilyrecipes.blogspot.com/   Turned out so good and doesn't take long at all.  So good on a cold day!  If you try it let me know what you think!

I took a brief nap and then went to Ronnie Todd's 60th birthday party. I have been friends with the whole Todd family for over 40 years. Loved them all!  LeRoy was the dad and was one of the best mechanics anywhere. And one of the nicest guys you would meet. So mellow.  He died in 1995. Merideth passed away in 2010. She was mom to everyone!  Loved her so much! They had 7 kids; daughters Terry and Cathy and sons Ronnie, Tommy(my age), Larry, Jeff, and Kenny! They were all at the party so I got to talk to them all. Seems like the only time we gather is funeral's. :(  So this was a happy occasion.  It was good to see my sister Libby, there too! I miss my family.  Larry and I were talking and he said something that really hit me.  I was telling him how I never saw my family anymore and he said he and Karen keep the family together by having birthday parties and gatherings. That is cool. But they all live within 10 miles of each other and Larry has a huge house to have these gathering. His house is amazing.
Over 3,000 sq feet with a beautiful view.

Sunday we did nothing but watch the Seahawks lose.  4-1 now. The one loss doesn't define us as a team.  Seahwks have an awesome team this year.

We have nothing on the calendar for today. Really hoping the car will be ready. It has been in the shop for 14 days!  That is ridiculous. Last week I called a few times but they never called us. I don't have patience for this.  I will keep busy rearranging things.  lol!  Looks like rain all week so it will be an indoor kind of week.  I hope you have a wonderful week!
