Jane, I will post the one I am going to sort of follow in what's for dinner for you. I am going to take a short cut though and use scalloped potatoes and just wing it. I always make too many scalloped potatoes so soup it is.......just need to cook the bacon up and mix it up with the scalloped potatoes some I will puree and add chicken broth carrots,and parsley .

I know I'm having Amy's soup tonight!

I remembered several years ago; someone had brought in bedbugs that were hurrying through the floors here. I never, to my knowledge, had them in my apartment, but they were on each floor. The entire building had to bag and remove items to the balcony, beds, couches, and other furniture moved away from the walls.

I gathered every bit of clothing I owned, went to a laundromat with those huge washers and dryers, and washed everything twice in as hot a water as possible. The exterminators came three separate times to spray with a week in between. They had to do the three sprays to eradicate them. I spent the time of each spray with Farrah in her carrier, sitting in another tenant's car. We were all grossed out, and I know I developed hives and had trouble sleeping in my bed.

About bugs, I remember once mom found bugs in a sack of sugar and promptly threw it out. After that, she inspected all the dried foods before throwing them out. We cleaned the entire kitchen and downstairs thoroughly and used vinegar balls in cupboards for a couple of months, and food sat in the freezer for a time before it was used. I vividly remember how horrified she was to find bugs in HER kitchen.

I'm off to the haystack a bit early tonight. We have to be up and attem before the "crack of dawn" tomorrow!

We had Cranberry chicken over rice done in the crockpot tonight for supper and it was deeeelicious! Frankie had seconds but I was good with just one helping.

AMY, the soup sounds good and I was thinking of using some of my canned potatoes in it. I'll have to check if I have bacon tomorrow. If I don't, it will be on my list this week!

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow. And may God bless us, every one!

I'm off to sleep, at least I hope it's not another night of dreaming I'm awake all night only to discover Fitbit said I really did get some zzzzzzzzzzzzs. Felt like I was struggling to breathe, know I didn't get a new furnace filter put in but have not been able to find until today... and this one doesn't say for my brand furnace but the ACE people all thought it should work.

Right size but doesn't say for my brand furnace. This furnace takes 2 different types, one is 20x25x5, but when you read the numbers it actually takes a quarter inch smaller & says so on the filter! The other filter is the skinny 1" size x??? Had it changed so now will see if this new fat one fits & will have to wait for son to put it in, think it is more than I can do.

I bought a bag of wild caught cod fish, each "shrink wrapped" separately so nice to pull one out of the bag (frozen), no coating so I salt & pepper & fry with butter in a little egg skillet with lid... pretty tasty, doesn't take long.

We have the whole week of 60s & 70s with nights above 40, then next week end back to winter & possibly winter mix. Stuff is sprouting & going to probably do damage to fruit trees & most other early stuff. Callie cat enjoyed the day outside & little Rhodie came to visit a couple times. Wish there was a way to show you a video of her racing across the back yard to visit. Had to laugh, she had a squirrel with her this morning, right together... and then Callie cat comes stand right beside her, no problem. Squirrel took off when I went out.

Sweet dreams & God Bless, can you believe that Lent starts this Wed?
