Who knew Eddie had a gift for grilling? We broke in the new grill with some hot dogs and drumsticks. Next up, maybe ribs. I had some leftover ground turkey so I made dumplings for the first time without Dad. It was nice to have Eddie wrap a few even though I teased him for overstuffing them. Wish our family was here to enjoy the good food and fun. We have some great trips to look forward to, but somehow they just seem so far away at the moment. To pass the time, I've signed up for my 7th half marathon - Run with the Jets when I visit my family in a couple of weeks. What's exciting about this is that my mom will be walking the 5k so we'll both celebrate with medals! Here's to a eating well this week!
