Carrots...

Tonight I made chicken and cooked carrots for dinner.  For some odd reason, when I was cutting up those carrots and putting them into the pot, I was thinking about Nikki.  Now, I KNOW that sounds totally crazy....so let me explain.  lol  Every time I went out east, we would all gather at my sister Kelly's place and usually we would all chip in making dinner.  I will always picture Nikki sitting at the kitchen table cutting up something.....and quite often that something was carrots.  lol  I don't know why, but I guess we ate a lot of meals with carrots in them.  But since she wasn't the greatest cook (hey, she would admit to that, too!!  lol) she did prep work.  Cutting veggies...grating cheese...peeling potatoes.  It's so weird what will trigger memories.  I never in a million years would ever think that carrots would cause me to think of my baby sister.  

The funny thing, though......I had a craving for those dang carrots ALL day.  :)
