It is another busy week here. We have the airshow, which will keep all of us busy. It has been keeping Rich late at work for the last couple weeks, and we are looking forward to having him home more after next week. He even took a couple days off to work and rest here. Several of our kids will be volunteering at the show, like they did last time, and we are going as a family to watch and enjoy it. It is also both Rich and Dominic's birthday this week, and it will be busy with work and airshow activities, but we are hoping to take a break and celebrate with them that night.

Next week is going to be pretty busy, too, with dress rehearsals and a recital. I cannot wait until we can rest a little. I've been tired depressed.

We are trying the chicken fried steak next week. There were a ton of leftovers in the fridge, and we had a lot less energy than needed. Friday was the last asparagus run of the season, and we have something like 60 pounds of asparagus, so we are eating with just about every meal. It's going to be a fairly warm week, so we are doing a lot of meals that can be made early in the day or in the pressure cooker or crock pot and things like salads. We are still making meals that are safe for Jerome, so if you have allergies and need ideas, I hope that helps. If you have ideas for us, please share them! We are also keeping the Wednesday and Friday abstinent fasts.
