Run For The Roses

Last weekend, Erin and her mom, Meredith watched the movie about the award winning horse "Secretariat". After the movie, while Erin Skyped with me, she played "Secretariat" with baby brother Everett. Here is Erin in the role of the trainer and Everett in the role of the horse.

The trainer places the horse in position and yells "Go!"

And he's off!

The "horse" appears to have stumbled but quickly gets back into the race!

The "Winner" and new Champion...Everett!

Wonderful fun for everyone!

I'll close this post with lyrics from Dan Fogelberg's "Run For The Roses"

"And it's run for the roses

As fast as you can

Your fate is delivered

Your moment's at hand

It's the chance of a lifetime

In a lifetime of chance

And it's high time you joined in the dance"

Chicken Pot Pie

My super sister Janice is constantly providing delicious food for Rob and me to have in the evenings after long days of work. It's really a blessing to know something great is waiting for us in the refrigerator. So today Rob and I have baked two Low fat Chicken Pot Pie Casseroles. Yes, Rob assists me (or rather I assist the Engineer) in the kitchen. I'd be a total disaster without him! What a great hubby!
Here are photos of the first out of the over Chicken Pot Pie Casserole. We'll take Janice and Linton's Pie over this afternoon.
