It always amazes me that the sun is a star. There are trillions of stars/suns so there just has to be other planets with life. I wonder if life there is like ours, is it more advanced or still in the dark ages.

I'm going to miss my sister-in-law Kathy when she goes home tomorrow.  I very seldom have her all to myself and I've enjoyed her visit so much.  Right now I'm enjoying the smell of the Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee I bought for her.  She just ground some for tomorrow morning because she's getting up early early to have coffee time before tomorrow's round of hospital appointments.

Random question for the day -

Why do we eat lamb but not sheep?

Many cultures do eat sheep.  It's called mutton.  However, mutton can be very tough so needs to be stewed and the flavour can be quite a bit stronger than lamb.  Some find even lamb to taste "wooly" which is the flavour I like.  When I buy a lamb from my friend every year I ask for the smallest one even though the price is the same, no matter the size.  The smaller and younger, the more tender and the more delicate the flavour.

I love mutton stew.
