So it wasn't too bad.

Roasted the duck on the grill as we haven't replaced the stove yet. Other priorities. It turned out... okay. Hubby thought it was kind of bland. Probably because I've never fixed one and didn't really know how to do it. I did put apples in it. And I heated the packet of orange sauce that came with it and poured it over the duck.
I also baked potatoes on the grill to go with it. It was okay, but not great.
I think it's probably one of those things that's best when it's first cooked and not reheated, so I'm going to give the leftovers to the cats if they'll eat it.

We went to Fayetteville today to try and register our new to us vehicle at Pope AFB, but they don't do registrations on the weekend any more. Mostly because of BRAC. They are being phased out. Such a loss.
So I'll have to do it Monday at Cherry Point instead. Oh well.

Haven't exactly heard from the youngest since he went to Navy basic training at Great Lakes last week, but we did get a generic packet with graduation info and a line that said he missed us. :)
We're very proud of him. It was strange to realize that he's at the same base my dad went to when he joined the Navy in WWII.

That's about all I can think of for now. Have a great week!

So this is Christmas

So, it's almost Christmas. We're going to try duck this year. I'm a bit excited. Hope it works out.
Middle son is home. Youngest is 5 days into boot camp. We miss him. I hope he is doing well.

Not at all happy with our government right now. So much stuff going on. Some of which is illegal. At least I was under the impression that vote buying was illegal.
Wish we could win just enough from the lottery to retire now, lol. Oh well.

People think this government is doing so good. I hope they are, but I have a feeling we will be sorely disappointed.

I hope my oldest boy and his family have a wonderful Christmas! We miss them all.

Happy Holidays

Figured I should post something here, but don't know what. I've had this for a while, but still no clue how to modify it or anything, lol.
Ah well. This is enough for now, I guess. ;)

Edit:
Ooh. Managed a tiny change, haha. I am hopeless. ;)
Tata for now. :)
