I pulled out my jeans.
I realized that (for the first time in many many falls) my jeans had outgrown me
I got out a pair of old old jeans that used to be too small.
I made some fresh stewed tomatoes to go in some fresh homemade chili for dinner
I have all the windows open in my house

I am crossing my fingers that the bread turns out good.
