Boy, when it rains, it pours. We just got off the phone with our property manager in Florida. We had our hopes up when the renters told us they wanted to purchase the house. That is no longer an option for the renters for whatever reason. The house value has dropped so low that we would basically have to give it away. If things are selling better here, we may have to sell this one and move back to crime ridden Deltona. Just venting. Everything feels so hopeless this morning.

It's colder in the mornings and I chose not to rush out. In the summer I was at the markets by nine to be sure I got the fresh greens before the vendors ran out and the summertime I have more energy. Now I linger longer under my warm cozy covers, stretch and wiggle before putting my feet on the cold floor. Japanese turnips and whatever the other bunch is. I can't remember what she said. Maybe a variety of a kale? Anyway, it's something for me to saute or throw in a soup. A few days I did a slow-cook whole chicken, picked all the meat of the carcass, and froze the chicken in four bags. Then added water to the carcass and onions, carrots, celery, a couple of bay leaves to boil for stock. I got four containers of stock in the freezer for...
