Beef And A New Ride

First off, an yarn addition to the tree:

This was cotton yarn bought years ago. It goes from dark khaki to white. The only problem is that when the yarn changes colors, there's a knot in the flow! Not a good thing when you're knitting a continuous piece. I sacrificed the cake of yarn for the tree.

I made beef for dinner in the slow cooker. I added a flank steak, a large can of plum tomatoes (torn up), 4 cut up carrots, 2 sticks of celery cut up, an onion, a can of sliced mushrooms (didn't have any fresh) and a large cut up potato. Lots of oregano and basil and other spices thrown in. Served it with curly macaroni. It filled us up, and was pretty good. Here's what's left before I put it away:

Lastly, my husband has been waiting and tracking a shipment all day today. He bought a new ride, and was axiously awaiting its arrival. Finally, at 6:15 PM we heard the big truck roll up. As I speak, he's out there finding its new parking spot in the garage, and reading about its great attributes. Here's a picture:

Our hired mower guy decided to stop doing it as a side job after 5 years. He only had a few clients, but decided to have his weekends free. The husband has decided to take over. Sweet ride!
