this and that

Jake got his first hair cut today. It was trimmed around his face and off his legs and feet. Too little to sit still to get the rest trimmed shorter.
Now he can walk in the back yard and not get stickers all over his feet. Empty nesters was here last night. Empty nesters are all the old people in our ward who no longer have their family living with them. We meet once a month at each others home for family home evening. Who ever home it is gets to choose what they do for the evening. lessons, games, dinner or whatever you want to do.

It was our turn Monday night. So we had a Low County Boil. A Paula Dean recipe. This is worth trying. A while back I posted a Low County Boil that I had been too. Like in April.

You need to cook potatoes, sauage, corn and shrimp all in one pot. After it is all cooked you dump the food, in the middle of tables covered with newspaper. Everyone is seated around the tables and you just eats with their hands. We had fun and everybody got full.
No silverware is allowed. You should use your roll for a napkin, but I gave everyone a napkin just in case they needed it.

Then we had some wonderful desserts which were bought by several of the empty nesters.
