Monday and Tuesday action

My niece, Nancy, and her husband just left after spending the afternoon and night.  They are always fun to have and we never run out of conversation.  Now that does not mean I don't run out of steam around 7:00 even with company in the house for the night. I just need my alone time about then and all house guests know this by now. We are all caught up on the family goings-on and we look forward to their next visit.  Danny is a hunter and he has confirmed by trampling through the snow that the coyote is still cutting through the back forty.  He identified coyote prints and deer prints in the snow.  The deer are pregnant at this time of the year and the coyotes follow the deer waiting for the birth and then they move in. Nature, but cruel to our way of thinking.

Johnna and Angela are planning the Italy trip.  We are going early for part of the trip, then landing in Florence for Alyssa's wedding, then doing Tuscany after the wedding.  Will we ever get home? I'd better buy travel insurance.  I will be a month from 82 on that journey.  (Biologically the doctor says I am 68, so I am acting on that premise.)

I have my new walking shoes which I have told you about, so I might just pull this off.

No cooking news today.  We had deep dish pizza last night.  Oh, have you had boars head ham? Kroger is selling it in different sized spiral cuts and I bought a small (hunk) whole section.  It is wonderful just heated through or browned a little with eggs or great on sandwiches.  I like the way they are selling it now because you can gage it with the number of people you are serving.  It is delicious.  You don't need to fool with glazes, it is perfect as it is.
