You'd be interested in a thing i did.. actually @kevgib67 and @luis angel you too. I see all these pictures of your acans and torches.... my wife picked these out of like 12 options i picked. I tried to say that means they are her corals and I need to pick out my own now but it didn't work :face-with-tears-of-joy:

You're going to love the acans. That is an underrated coral imo. I love feeding them. Congrats, you guys deserve it

We have Ranch Dinner most Fridays after the kids horse lessons. Fried chicken and mashed potatoes is what's on the menu tonight.
Made the girls chicken enchiladas with green sauce.

Sorry Wes hope your wife is doing OK.
They brought her a cheeseburger with chips and a milk shake while I was gone to the house getting her hospital bag. Now that the treatment is started she's on a clear liquid diet. The Cafe's is going to send up jello for her and chicken tenders for me. When our oldest was born in Boise, Idaho we ordered from the cafeteria at first. Then we found out we could go down to the cafeteria and eat at their taco bar. It was much better than the stuff you could get brought to the room.
