Weekend

We had a good weekend. On Saturday we went to the auction which was actually at the house of a man who's wife passed away a few months ago and he wanted to move to a smaller place so he was selling everything - and I do mean everything. So while it was dead-people stuff, it was only half-dead people stuff. Mostly knick-knacks that would just clutter our place so we didn't get anything and I think most of it was overpriced IMHO. *shrug* no biggie. (He also tried to auction the house. I bumped into another neighbor at the supermarket the next day and he told me that the highest bid he got was for $76,000 while the house had a market price of $148,000!!! He managed to get the price up to $80,000, but whomever bought the house made a killing - even if they did nothing to the house and sold it on the open market that's a $60,000 profit!!!!)

We spent Sunday with me making brunch (carrot muffin waffles - Yum - made with carrots, coconut, walnuts, etc) while my wife planned the garden. Afterwards we went to a Greenhouse and stayed until way past closing with the owner's wife playing with our kids and offering my wife a job when she stops playing housemom.

We were supposed to have friends from work over for dinner on Saturday but they had to cancel. I was going to make a Chicken and Sausage Gumbo and didn't but the idea of it stuck in our heads so I made it on Monday instead and enough to feed an army too. My wife won't have to cook for the rest of the week which is entirely fine with her!
