Russ's Day Off

So, while I was hard at work teaching all my little children - well...actually MY kids are now adolescents, which is weird, my dear sweet hubby was having a play day. At least part of his day was play. Yesterday, Russ was driving me crazy checking his computer constantly for some huge download he was working on. Apparently, it was yet another photography download! Since he was off today, I suppose he spent most of his day playing. There were many "projects," but I chose one to show you. This is an edited picture of the Golden Gate Bridge we took in San Francisco this summer.

Looks awesome!

Russ also spent his afternoon taking my grandfather to the doctor today. Isn't he the just the best husband ever!? By the time he came home, he had been to the grocery store and said he was going to "whip up something" for dinner. Who am I to argue with that?! I laid on the couch and took a little nap after an exhausting first week back at work while he slaved away in the kitchen. I woke up to a wonderful aroma...spices I think. Russ kept walking from the table to the kitchen until I heard him say, "Okay, it's ready." I walked in the dining room to a nice little setup with beautiful gourmet food! All the way down to the red wine reduction! I don't even know what that is! Russ said it was just something simple. Whatever! He also said that he was just "winging it." He saw Bobby Flay on the Today Show this morning doing something similar, but Russ couldn't remember what all spices he used. So, Russ just "winged it!" Seriously?! I need a recipe, measuring cups, and I am scared to use substitutions! It puts me to shame...which isn't very hard! Ha!

Sitting down to dinner....remember that I just woke up from a deep sleep!

Pure deliciousness!

So, I'm not sure I would call this Russ's day off! Thanks so much, Russ, for making me feel special always! Love you!
