QNS, same weather here. You've inspired me-- I'll put something in my crock pot. Did you know, but I never had one, and wanted to try one all my life? You girls talking about easy and tasty meal from the crock pot got me looking at my local Goodwill. I bought one recently for $5 there. It works great. I should have bought one long ago! Don't the meals make a nice scent in the house, just as if you have food in the oven!
Yes, Happy birthday, Bev! It sounds like you had a cozy time, with nice things happening.
