Otter had to sneak up on him, but we finally got a picture of Frasier! He was probably about to have a nap, she was standing in the hallway just where she could see into the living room and he was actually still for this.
This is what he did next! It's what he usually does when he sees the camera, don't know why.
But he came right back when I said the word "hug" and he was happy about it. He usually turns his head so that his head is behind mine, and he leans into me when he gets a hug. He really seems to like to be hugged.
Can't forget about Maggie Moo! She was right there when she saw that Frasier was getting attention, but she needed her own affection. She has allergies, which causes her eyes to water and that's what you see on her face. She gets regular face washings, which she does NOT like one bit!
The title refers to tonight's dinner. I made a huge pot of pinto beans on Sunday. We've been eating them since then and there are several containers in the freezer for Willieboy's lunches. Tonight, I made rice and we also had a smoked sausage link in the fridge that we'd had for a while. We don't eat a lot of stuff like sausage. I cut the sausage up, stirred it into the beans and stuck it in the microwave. When the rice was ready, I poured it into the beans/sausage and we had it with chopped onion, a little cheese and in Bill's case cut up jalepenos on top. He also added picante sauce. We still had some cornbread left, so we had that with it. It was actually pretty good, not exactly red beans and rice but it was still pretty good. And very filling.
I voted this morning. I forgot to look to see what number I was, but there were three people leaving just as I got there and it was just a couple of minutes after the polls opened so I'm thinking I was probably around number 4. There were two phone calls today, as opposed to what seemed like hundreds in the last several days. Not that it's ever been any secret, but my candidates are all (and always) pro-life:
Psalm 139 (NIV and permission granted by the Author)*
1 O LORD, you have searched me and you know me. 2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. 3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. 4 Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD. 5 You hem me in--behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. 7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? 8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. 9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, 10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. 11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me," 12 even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. 13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, 16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. 17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! 18 Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you. 19 If only you would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, you bloodthirsty men! 20 They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name. 21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD, and abhor those who rise up against you? 22 I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies. 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
