Anniversary # 41

October 25, 1968 We began a wonderful adventure into the world of the marrieds. It seems like only a few days ago, and yet it seem as though I cannot remember not being with my sweetheart. Our life together has truly been a grand adventure. Life has given us so many great and wonderful experiences and it has also thrown us a few very hard and difficult challenges. One thing for sure is we have always been there to help one another through the tough times. We have been blessed with three amazing and wonderful children to complete our circle and they have each contributed so much to our life.
At this time they have contributed a total of ten marvelous grandones.
I am so blessed and grateful for these last 41 years.

The weather is changing again. Love it!

We had a grand weekend and now a new weather front is moving in. Ever wonder why we always talk about the weather ? I think it is because we always like change and of course the weather is always changing and we can't do much about it. It also gives us an excuse to buy new weather appropriate clothes each season.

although I thing it has been several years since I have really added many new items. I just keep recycling my old warm and comfortable sweaters. Our beautiful trees are almost bare and are really looking so cold to me. I just want to go out and cover them up with a nice warm blanket. All else is pretty much gone to sleep for the winter too. No more geraniums, or roses :+(

Turnip Au Graten

A very interesting dish. I don't think I have ever prepared a turnip in any form or fashion in the whole (almost) forty one years of marriage and I know I never prepared one prior to that time. Well, I have prepared this dish. Believe it or not, it turned out to be pretty good. I think if the time ever comes that I prepare it again I will use a mix of cheese. The recipe just called for Parmisan. If you are interested in turnips and want to try this just let me know and I will be happy to give you the recipe. The whole idea was to expand our vegetable diet. We did have Kale a few weeks ago and we liked it. Our next experiment will be leeks.
Whoa! we really do have exciting adventures.

Just Fun Stuff

Introducing Mr. Cooper

Thirsty Bayli

Look at the snow.

So far this has been a busy and fun month. With a few exceptions. Heidi and crew have been visited by the "Bad Piggy Flu" and that is not fun. Just hope they all recover quickly so they can enjoy the Fall Break.
