Tuesday night Mickey had us and a few other friends over for Mexican. Delicious by the way and we also had a great deal of fun with a Wii. I have thought of purchasing one before but they certainly are pricey little devils. If we ever must stay in Iowa all winter I may reconsider because they are great exercise. We had a blast with it and I have not laughed that hard since Peg, Kay and I got the giggles over I do not remember what...or maybe I do but cannot share. Anyway the friends, the food and the Wii were a bunch of fun.

Rhubarb is abundant right now and I may get around to making this bread. It certainly looks tasty. I have a great patch of rhubarb and I have made a list of the rest of the things I need. I will let you know what I think of it.
