I am so glad you had a good time with your relatives having a good gab fest. I love those kinds of get-to-gethers. Do try that onion soup on top of a roast for you will be surprised it doesn't really have an overwhelming onion flavor but makes good spice for it and you don't have to use anything else as spices. Sometimes I will cut slits in th roast and slip in slivers of garlic. Just dump an envelope on the top of the roast and spread it around and that is all you have to do besides a little water in the bottom of the crockpot. Hang that delightful had on a wall as a decoration if you don't want to wear it. We could pull that behind the Jeep instead of pulling the Jeep behind a motorhome. I think it is a type of theft when folks want to just come in and take advantage of the meetings and aren't a member. WW lets you have a freebie if you are planning to join but not just to sneek in when you want. 
as I do so he meets me on the rebound. But it is good to walk. I think you will love having a puppy to train. Beanie is such a delight. Right now he is asleep at my feet and ole Ragg Mopp is out on the sofa in the front room. When Beanie is full grown he will be half the size of Ragg Mopp. Now when he wakes up he will go to the kitchen screen door and push it open and go outside. I have that book "Lincoln Lawyer" by Michael connelly. Have you read the book? Wonder how closely the movie follows it. I like him as an author.
