Hubby and I fried chicken and made small amounts of mashed potatoes and sweet potato and green bean casserole. We have leftovers for today and that will be all of it. We may have a couple pieces of chicken left and I will put in the freezer for the next pot of soup.CiCihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615265608675467505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-71975981990707102142010-11-26T07:37:54.682-06:002010-11-26T07:37:54.682-06:00Well I would have to say that this is one of those...Well I would have to say that this is one of those situations where opposites attract is very beneficial:)Changes in the windhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06942797186537814864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-42820485769677718992010-11-26T07:14:26.132-06:002010-11-26T07:14:26.132-06:00OOOooooohhh....what a first grade memory!

But I only remember singing the first two stanzas and the last one (and couldn't reember the words now). And the program I just watched--could barely tell what the kids were singing as they were all singing separately, shall we say--ROFL!! Was so cute!<br /><br />Was that cold when I woke up here in Fargo, too.
