My friend, Carl, had a birthday last week when Pat and I went on the boat cruise. His daughter was also visiting him to help him celebrate. I suggested that we plan something after his big day. We settled on Sunday, July 23rd. I’m fixing a slow cooked pot roast with all the trimmings.

I was up at 6:45 to start it cooking. According the the recipe, it might take EIGHT HOURS.

I bought a new six quart slow cooker so I’m not sure how long it’ll take. (I have a tiny one person slow cooker but needed something bigger.)

I have it on high but it still has a long way to go.

I need to run to the store to get some Bob Evans mashed potatoes, apple sauce and dinner rolls. (Might grab some ice cream while I’m at it.) Guess I better get going.
