My bride also made bean soup and I partook of it to terrible excess.

I ccoked a big breakfast, played mandolin for a while, started cooking bean soup for dinner, then went outside to do a necessary task involving the outhouse/sawdust toilet (much easier when everything's frozen solid!), then helped/directed 4 friends in the reorganizaion of our woodpile and stacking a new cord of wood. I didn't realize how hard I worked, or how chilled I was getting, until I went inside and just could not get warm. In a rare occurrence, all three kids were gone until about 8:30, so I buried myself in blankets on the couch and took control of the remote. Of course, I could not find anything interesting to watch, but hey I was in charge for once! :) <BR/><BR/>RuthieJ- Yes, I'm still working full time, and trying not to eat away at too much of my vacation or sick leave.
