The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

Good things today:  My sweet friend Lori made me lunch. Corn chowder, cornbread, bacon wrapped chestnuts (have you ever had a bacon wrapped chestnut??? Holy crap.

My forehead is a little sore.  I got home and started making dinner- boiling potatoes for mashed taters and decided to turn my crock pot back on to warm.
