Powdered milk whipped cream

Ok, this has nothing to do with Jon or Duke or anything important, but I have decided that people need to know that

POWDERED MILK WHIPPED CREAM IS GROSS!

I didn't have any whipping cream and didn't want to buy any because I'm cheap. I found a recipe online to make whipped cream with powdered milk, which we have in food storage. I decided to try it. At first, it made my whole kitchen smell like vomit. I thought "maybe my mixer just smells bad."

No, it was the whipped cream. It was so nasty! I decided to post this in case anyone googles "powdered milk whipped cream" and then hopefully this post will pop up and they will read it and avoid making a horrible mistake.

You're welcome.

My Duke Graduate

Jon graduated from physical therapy today!! He got a diploma and everything. His newest joke is that he is a Duke graduate. Hahaha!

He has been back at work part time for two weeks now, and will be steadily increasing his hours. Thank goodness!

It really hit me the other day how lucky we are that he is still here. I was joking that he should wear a cap and gown to physical therapy today, but then he told me that it's a pretty sad/serious place and it wouldn't be appropriate to wear that. Apparently a couple of people have died after leaving physical therapy and receiving lung transplants. Most of the people in his group were lung transplant patients, which is way more serious than what Jon had done, but it never occurred to me that his physical therapy friends were DYING. I am so thankful that he is still here with me and is making such a great recovery. Thank you all for your love and your prayers- we appreciate them!!
