Friday. Mini Meatball Soup

Hello again.

Usually, we eat out on Friday's. I don't know if we are eating out tonight or not, just yet. Not any plans for the weekend, that "I" know of. We will do what Jerry wants to do. Of course, we have to do shopping and laundry, but beyond that, I have no idea what we are going to do.
