Total randomness... my phone is finally allowing me to forward photos again....

Actually, I figured out there was a password kink between a few of my accounts... technologically challenged me... *sigh*

Anyway... thought I'd post a few summer pics...

Sarah came for a visit in July... right before she got sick... pretend the unmade bed and stacks of books on the armoir aren't there.

Joe and his Idaho ice-cream potato.

Olympic opening ceremonies food... home-made fish 'n chips wrapped in newspaper.

Ally making cherry scones for the closing ceremonies and looking so thrilled.

The cherry scones.

Ally all ready for the fair... and no, I only took a picture... she wasn't allowed to wear this get-up out as I thought it was adorable, but prolly not appropriate attire for the kind of crowd you often find there.

Tradition: Favorite breakfast the first day of school (in this case, coconut French toast)... which this year, also happens to be Ally's first day of her last year of high school.

The zucchini basket I filled a few times... posted on facebook that it was there

for the taking and was gone within an hour. Some of them were over 20 inches long.

Playing an old game.....

..... Ally and I. It happened as we were driving down Ustick Rd. the other day and saw a car with a Hawaii license plate.... then 20 seconds later Connecticut and Pennsylvania. Now, if you've never been on Ustick Rd, you might not understand the significance of that. Ally got Alaska yesterday. Guess I better get out more.

Thanksforgiving

'Thanksforgiving' is the title to my Thanksgiving Pinterest board.... And now looking at it, I just saw it in a whole new way.... thanks + forgiving... instead of, or in addition to thanks + for + giving Interesting.... wouldn't it be awesome if we all could just forgive others of their shortcomings and be grateful for them as they are and accept them at face value instead.... the way we hope they look at us? Today I think of so many things.... What comes to mind: St. George - spent many Thanksgivings there while growing up and always spent time horseback riding over that weekend 4-day school vacation Dang! In the middle of making this list I just remembered I forgot to make the Corn Soup... ugh... The 'Turkey Bowl' LeSueur Pumpkin Crunch Torte... I made a half this year which is baking (hopefully... something's up with my oven) as I type.... and man oh man, it sure smells good!
