Long weekend & new recipes

We had a long weekend. DH's plane was supposed to be in Fri pm about 11. Did not happen. Kind of strange, the airline decides to put new tires on his plane before they leave, takes about 4 hours and of course he misses his connecting flight. He was put up in a hotel with no luggage. Arrived about 10am Sat. And then still had no luggage, we had to stay another night to get his luggage. Thankfully they delivered it to the hotel. I'm just glad that nothing was missing.
Got home a day later and have been playing catch up all day today. We have a washer but our dryer doesn't work real well so I wash clothes and then run them down to the laundry where we live and dry them. It does save a bit of money. And much more convenient than washing and drying everything.
I tried some new recipes today. I finally found a potato soup recipe that was pretty good. Even the kids ate it. It was called sour cream potato soup and it was really creamy. Of course we sprinkled bacon and cheese on it. Also made pasta salad. It's not a new recipe to me, I just never made it. I used garden rotini and Italian salad dressing and put in a few sliced olives. My DD like this especially. So, we just had a basic housekeeping day. The kids also did a few crafts. A paint by number and I had found some small wooden birdhouse wind chimes and they painted them as well. They look very cute hanging outside.
