Please pass the butter…
I’m in love with this vegetable…just look at it! Isn’t it beautiful? To think that something high in potassium, calcium and iron can also be this beautiful! My husband learned a great trick for cooking these pretties on his fishing trip. The Canadian chef they met cuts them in half before cooking. It cuts the cooking time to about 20 minutes and the end result is a beautiful vegetable ready for the table… Yummm, please pass the butter (or do you prefer mayonnaise?)

Oh that beautiful bird!
I see an eagle every so often but never in mass. My husband and son saw eagles every day on their fishing trip to Englefield Bay, British Columbia. I hope you enjoy these photos taken by our son.

Oh that’s right, I did! What we do for pictures like this and a freezer full of salmon… Hugs, Anne

Oh my!
It’s been one of those weeks… My trip to Austin was delayed for 7 hours. The plane had mechanical trouble and I sat in the airport all day (not complaining because they discovered it while on the ground). If you didn’t get a call from me to chit chat it’s because I didn’t have your number! If you did get a call I’m sorry! I can talk a lot when I’m killing time. My embroidery was packed in my suitcase, not my carry on bag. Free time and nothing to sew! Learned my lesson on that one I hope. Retreat was wonderful and I finished embroidering my letter “S”! …
