Morning all!!
Our power just came back on after being out for about 4 hours...nothing major..through the sleeping hours which is always good....it is still pretty windy out, but the rain is over with for the most part...we just had one pretty big branch come down, and it missed anything of importance in the yard, a lot of small branches everywhere and caught on the fences etc...sooo I know what Ross will be doing today, lol. We will stick them in the neighborhood burn pile, I have a feeling that we will be having 2 or 3 of these going as everyones yards look about the same,lol. Kris will have to chainsaw the bigger branch, and that will go into the wood pile to dry out for next year. Kris is gone for the day taking out docks for our customers who have camps about 2.5 hours away, so he will have to do it some evening this week, as he won't be back until late tonight.
Just mother nature getting us ready for ole man winters arrival!
Dinner tonight will be steak tips with sbr honey chipolte (sp) sauce, this is our fav right now, it is mmmmmm. I will make fresh green beans and noodles of some sort to go along with it.
I hope you all have a great sunday morning! I am going to spend the day putting away the winter items, and such from llbean. I just love that store and only go 3x a year as we all go nuts there, lol. I still buy Ross way to many clothes, shoes and pj's from there, lol.

I'll feel better once everyone has checked in.
........this was the last of the "ones" to go...tooth fairy and easter bunny were awhile ago, but Santa he still clung to, lol........he was just matter of fact about it, lol. I called Kris to tell him I had sad news....I said yep Ross just informed me that there is no Santa, and he is reading the stocks in the paper, and having a cup of coffee...(he really is...they do stocks as school and I let him have one cup of coffee a week after his chores, lol) Kris asked me when he was getting his apartment, lol!!
My brother had my parents fooled for years. 
. 
Have you started your packing yet???
Enjoy the cuddling while you can!!!!
Hugs for you Mom, we all know how hard that is! I'm gonna have to tie a string around my finger so I can remember to put your coffee in the mail. Or would that be Coffee for Ross!!! 
Especially your popovers, now I see why you thought the ones from your "disaster" meal were so bad. Those are gorgeous!!! Is the recipe for those posted here? Also your chowder looks wonderful! I can see a butter sheen on top! I've made a oyster artichoke cream soup that looks just like your chowder, now we just need some cold weather to fix some!
