All in the Family
Just a quick post to let you know that I’m taking a brief break from the action around here.
This weekend I’m catching up with all sorts of family.
- Alex is coming to visit Friday night through Saturday morning, so I’m spending Friday making a yummy vegan meal. Yes, It is possible–Shepard’s Pie with lentils and roasted veggies instead of ground meat, tomato/cucumber salad, my home-made bread (which I can’t eat), and apple crisp (which I can eat due to some magical substitutions).
- My mom and I are heading to Connecticut to visit my younger sister and her family. We’re leaving Saturday around noon (when Alex moves on to plans of his own) and coming back sometime on Monday. So don’t expect to hear anything from me until Tuesday, the 23rd.
- While in Connecticut, we and 300 or so other lucky people will be visiting with these Modern Family cast members in an “Actors Studio” type Q & A. I’ll be sure to tell you all about it.

Now Mitch, you promised that you’d let me do the Cam-Cam-a-Rama with Lorna. You know how well she dances. I promise she won’t embarrass you and you know I won’t embarrass you.
So, have a great weekend. I certainly intend to!










Have a great visit with Alex. I too just visited my daughter and got my kid fix to last until Thanksgiving. Your vegan meal sounds yummy. I make a wonderful chili with wheatberries. Add some cornbread and the world is warm and toasty. Enjoy your time off from blog land.
I had a great weekend. My next post is to tell you all about it. Thanks for the well wishes!
Enjoy the weekend Lorna
Oh, I did. I really did! Thanks!
You go on and have a good time, but who’s doggy-sitting Scrappy?
Philip. Those two love each other. Thanks for asking. You’re so sweet!
“Shepard’s Pie with lentils and roasted veggies instead of ground meat”
This just sounds wrong, so so wrong. I think that line alone is going to give me nightmares.
Oh Pete, once you had a bite, you would be dreaming sweet, savory dreams of my Shepard’s Pie. And your digestive tract would be thanking you (maybe the people around you wouldn’t be, but…)
Hah well it can’t be any worse than when I eat beef, red meat gives me problems too lol!
There you go!
Hope you have a blast and come back with lots of stories!
I did and I’ll be tell them! Thanks!
So jealous you get to meet Modern Family cast members. LOVE that show!
And it was SO worth it. Jesse and Eric were hysterical. I can’t imagine anyone on that sow ever feeling like it is “work.”
Oh My Gosh! How cool! Modern Family? AWESOME!! Have fun on your trip..can’t wait to hear all about it !!
You’ll hear all about it soon. I had a weekend of laughter and love. What could be better than that?
Have a blast!!!
I did! Thanks so much!
Have a great time. Look forward to your synopsis of the Q&A with Modern family actors.
I’m looking forward to telling you all about it. I was a stellar weekend with my family!
Have fun!
Thanks, Diana. I did have more fun than I was allowed to have.
Have a wonderful time ……
Thanks, Izzy! I did.
Have a great time, and y’all hurry back now!
The weekend zipped by and now I’m back. How did it all happen so quickly?
Enjoy…
You know I did!
