The day started with a video chat that included several members of my brother\u2019s family. He and his wife have several kids, all grown which makes up for me not having any kids. My brother\u2019s wife had called me and had me listen through her phone and I put it on speaker call. I think my friend who was listening with me to the chat, understood more and got more out of the conversation than I did. It was good though. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the chat, the planet decided to chime in with an earthquake here. My brother\u2019s wife looked it up and found that it was a 5.4 magnitude. That is the size earthquake we are used to. Everything is pretty well tied down around here so nothing fell, and I haven\u2019t heard of any damage. Just a nice little rock and roll to start the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the group chat, I made crescent rolls in the oven and Blackeye peas in the Instant pot. I used chicken stock instead of water which gave the peas a very nice flavor. Simple good eating for the new year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Otherwise, it is a quiet day at home, watching TV and catching up on some writing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
