So this is probably breaking all rules of Lent but after all those pancake meals yesterday, I really needed some protein. Bacon wrapped tenderloin with pasta and peas and pickled beets on the side. Liam loves pickled beets. The beef turned out perfectly medium rare. That in itself is rare as I can never time it right. I always over cook our steak and we love our steaks pink! Today I actually didn't even put the timer on I just gut checked it so I don't even know how long I left it in for. Delish. The pasta had an Alfredo sauce and I threw in some frozen peas for colour. That was a throw-together-as-I-go dish. Turned out well too. So, when you come to visit I can totally cook for you and Dad... I didn't know you felt that you had to cook for us. We just really love your cooking. My pics look good but it's always difficult to enjoy your own cooking. You're the best cook on Earth! All my stuff kind of tastes the same. 

It's confirmed we will be in town on the 19th and staying over at your place :) Don't worry about dinner just breakfast and then we will head over to Jim's parents for a quick visit too before hitting the road. It will be a whirl wind weekend! And then you guys come the following weekend, right? For a long weekend. I'm looking forward to that :)

So, Friday will you tell me this juicy gossip?? I better not be disappointed! I've been dying to know!

I got an email last night that made me sad. My riding coach is no longer teaching at my barn :( I'll be starting with a new instructor Shannon. I met her once before when I did the barrel racing games... didn't really connect with her. She was kind of rough and almost mean... so, I'm feeling a little apprehensive. I'm riding Beau this weekend but then Janice said Shannon will be getting me back on Chakote or Mickey after that. I'm so bummed out. But, I will give Shannon a chance. I have to admit what I liked about Amy is that she is very safe but she doesn't challenge me at all. So, perhaps I will learn more. 

That's it for now! That's a lot, right? Going to do some freelance work then going to bed early to rest my shoulder. Love you lots and miss you oodles! mwah! Send my love to daddio too! xox
