Ruth sent the first picture this morning taken off of mom's balcony. Mom is loving being able to see the sunrise over the Gulf when she wakes.
Diane sent the next one taken off of her balcony. Mom's condo is 10 floors up, Diane's is much closer to the water.
We had a gloomy COLD morning all cloudy and 24 degrees outside.
I bought a ham at Aldi last week, they were reduced to 99cents a pound and got a nice big 12 pound spiral cut ham that I decided to serve for tonight's dinner. I also had a full crockpot of lasagna left over from Wednesday night family night that I had frozen. Yesterday that was put in the fridge to defrost then this morning that was put in a crockpot to warm back up. I googled if a ham could be cooked in a crockpot and was glad to find a good recipe for that. Brown sugar was rubbed all over the ham, about a 4th of cup of maple syrup was dribbled on top of that then a half of cup of orange juice was poured into the crockpot then the ham added. The ham really didn't fit but I used aluminum foil on top to take the place of the crockpot lid. Both of those crockpots were plugged into the outlets that I can turn on or off from my phone. I only wanted them on low for about 3 hours so turned them off at noon. We left for church a few minutes later than our usual time. This morning was the business meeting so we had a shortened message from Craig then went right into it. The generosity of this church blows me away. I truly am humbled each year. At lunch Sarah shared the pictures of Hannah and Jacob's brand new son.
Meet Rilian Jacob Feucht.
We are so thankful for a safe delivery and a healthy baby boy.
Gregg Rumbold had the afternoon message on Colossians 3. Click HERE to watch that message. As soon as we got home from church 2 pans of brownies were mixed up and put in the oven to bake, the two crockpots were checked. The ham taken out and sliced. The juices were poured into a pan and boiled down until a little thicker then that was poured back over the ham. A big pan of macaroni and cheese was made and put in another crock pot and a double recipe of cheese carrots were made and put in the oven to finish. The roasted garlic bread was spread with butter, wrapped in aluminum foil and heated in the oven 15 minutes before the prayer. Matt had the prayer today then instantly the hungry hoard surrounded the table.
There was plenty of food and plenty of people willing to eat it.
The tables all got filled pretty quickly.
There were cookies and brownies for dessert. After supper the kids went out to the gym to play while we adults visited.
Rhoda and Lee took Nancy home tonight. She was sure happy today.
We really enjoyed the evening. I am so very thankful for Sunday's when we can get together with family.
