coffee and koeke

Tonight the kids and I had coffee and koeke (pronounced ku'-ka) at Beppe & Pakka's house along with Michelle, Archie, Jade, Cindy and Johnnie, John and Evelyn and Jim and Sandy. For those of you that don't already know, koeke is a quick bread that Isy's dad made up and the Vander Werf's serve it at all their little get togethers. The recipe is in the newly released Silverwood cookbook. We all enjoyed listening to Archie's Iraq stories. I can't even imagine 157degrees plus a heavy uniform! He could talk for hours and the stories are so fascinating that I could listen for hours! : ) "Coffee" on Wednesday nights starts around 5 or 5:30... whenever you can get there. Tonight it broke up around 7:30 or so and then Bep, Pak, Mich, Arch & Jade and the 3 of us went to Buffalo Wild Wings and Tony was able to join us for supper. The evenings sure have been fun but I sure haven't gotten much accomplished at home!!! Tony's been working a lot of hours so he has had to miss out on some of the fun. : (

Work was busy as usual however I had Randa, our "casual" RN there today to help me! Boy does she ever improve my quality of life! I even had a lunch break today for a full half hour! WOW! Let's see.... the last time that happened was... hmmm, I would guess sometime in November. Tomorrow is my last day before a full week off! I'm so excited!!! We've all been exposed to sick people lately so I'm praying that none of us gets sick for our vacation time!

That's all for tonight... I need to head to bed. Gu-night.

Love to all, Leah
