DAYS 3 and 4 and THE PURPLE COW....MARCH 16 2012....

NO - THIS IS NOT A COW, PURPLE OR OTHERWISE!!!

Sunday we met at Andy and Lauri's house and the 8 of us went for breakfast at the Purple Cow.

We have eaten there before, the food is wonderful.  Had a fun, leisurely breakfast.  Afterwards Lauri, Tammie and I went food shopping (have you noticed how often I have mentioned food?) while the guys and Margo went back to the house.  To do guy stuff.  Guess Margo was going to supervise.

Lauri was planning on spaghetti for Sunday night supper, as granddaughter Jennifer, Eric and baby Kaedon were also going to be at the house.

So we shopped - Lauri does everything from scratch, and I do mean scratch.  We bought 4 kinds (I think) of sausage, pepperoni,  chunk cheese (to be grated) green, red and yellow peppers, garlic cloves, tomato sauces and puree,
onion, mushrooms.  Had a full cart.  I want you to know this is how Tammie shopped with us.

Arriving home, the production line started.  Tammie and I wanted to help, but Lauri and Andy have it down pat, they really work well together in the kitchen.  It was an all afternoon job of chopping, grinding, grating, cooking and stirring.  But, boy did it smell good!!!!!!!!!

We did make a side trip on the way home from shopping, Colby College.  A beautiful campus, the pics attached are of the chapel and administration building, I think.

Supper was awesome, spaghetti, home-made buns (Lauri's aunt made them and gave them to her), toss salad, and left-over birthday cake.  None of us had room for the cake.  It was the VERY BEST spaghetti any of us had eaten.  I told her when they came home next time, her job would be to make a big pot of this spaghetti sauce so I could put it in the freezer for Jerry and me to have spaghetti.  It was awesome.

We returned to the motel late.  Next morning (Monday) we made arrangements to keep the rental car and turn it in at the Boston airport.  None of us were ever ever ever going to fly in one of those toy planes again!  As our flight out was not until 4:30 p.m. we had ample time.  It was a nice drive, about 2-1/2 hours, had a good meal at the airport, and arrived home safely.

And so, another adventure has come and gone.  The next one is just around the corner.  Will get into that later in the week.  (Not much of this week left, is there?)  Don't work too hard, as it is time to start thinking outside stuff, and God Bless.
