In case the weather is as blah wherever you are as it is in Moscow right now, here's a little something that cheered me up!

Kale and Kielbasa Soup
In the mood for some kielbasa, kale, and a host of yummy herbs? Then kale and kielbasa soup is the one for you!
I tried this recipe off of our friends the Church's blog, and absolutely LOVE it. This is definitely my favorite fall soup so far!
You can find the original recipe here.
In other news, this was my week of graveyard shifts at the hospital. 5:30pm to 5:30 am Monday-Wednesday. I am now in the recovering stage and very grateful that that will not be my regular schedule. The only member of our household who benefited from my crazy shifts was Whiskey. She got to go out romping in the early hours of the morning when I got home.
And a teaser: I've been working on an Advent calendar and it's turning out great! Pics will be coming soon.

We've been busy
I promise we have. Like I always promise when there's a lengthy internet silence. unfortunately there are no pictures to prove our business. BUT, I did find pictures that I forgot to post from our trip to Butte, so at least I have something of interest. I'll post those at the end. In the meantime, here's the quick scoop on what we've been up to:
Joel: At work he's heading the church's move to a new software. Lots of extra hours. Plus we had a tenant move out of our Spokane triplex, so he's spent several days in Spokane fixing it up for new renters. Many thanks to Matt V and Dad D for going with him so I didn't have to. :) Also injured his knee several weeks ago and has been limping ever since. Will be calling a specialist next week to find out what's wrong with it.
Christine: Started new job at Gritman medical center and LOVES it. Working in admitting, forty hours a week for six weeks of training and then down to half time or three-quarter time. Learning lots about hospitals and getting lots of stories from strange patients. Also learning to be tougher, as I am training in ER admitting right now. Yikes. Working on Thought Meadow's next issue: Festivals, coming soon!
Whiskey: Becoming more and more paranoid of shadows and things that make any sort of noise that's disagreeable to her. Compensates by sleeping in well-hidden areas. Dreams of ways to off Sammy, although we're working on that last bit.
AND last, a few of the pictures from our trip! More to come. First, here is a picture of Toad Hall Manor where we stayed. Amazing hospitality and really good food! Plus the owner (Toad) made us drinks both nights we were there.
Another view of Toad Hall, with one of Toad's cars out front:
We toured a mock-up of a mining town and I found this sign.... Dr. Pierce offers $500 reward for women who cannot be cured of female weakness.
More to come when I find them!
