Pot Luck

So we had some friends that invited us to their party. I really thought that Wes would enjoy this, so I decided we would go. And I was right, he did enjoy the adult slip and slide.So why did I feel the need to blog about it? This was a potluck. I felt like I had reached an all time low in pot luck ideas when I decided on Kool Aid... There was a big canister of Tropical Punch Kool Aid in my pantry, so I made 6 quarts of it and put in some Shasta lemon lime soda. Since I really only drink water, I thought it tasted nasty. I did put it in my nice new drink dispenser, with the ice in the bottom, and it looked pretty, and it was cold. To my surprise, there was nothing left over.
I am curious as to what other lame ideas for pot luck you have. I may need one someday.

Our lamest idea for a pot luck dish has turned into a requested family tradition. Several years ago we were instructed to prepare a dutch oven dessert at Byron's family reunion. I was a newly called YW president and there were no doubt some other things that were making the thought of having to do this very stressful. I told Byron that we should just by a bunch of cookies, line the dutch oven with foil and then just throw all of the cookies in. Byron then unveiled this as our secret family recipe. It has been requested every year since. The kids usually like it better than the cobblers.

Harvest Blessings

Image
I love the end of Summer with its beautiful harvests.  The smell of soup that fills the kitchen. I spent most of yesterday making tomato soup for grilled cheese and tomato soup dinners this Winter.  I'm so grateful that my neighbor gifted me the tomatoes and fresh onions were available at the Farmers Market. This simple recipe is 100% nutrious and delicious.  I freeze the soup in 3 cup portions. It's what Wes uses to cook dinner once a week. I did think that it was a lot of work so that Wes could think he cooked dinner, more than once yesterday.  Love living in Idaho.... Harvest Blessings.... Good day...

The Summer of $50 Picnic

I love a picnic, but this year has been pricey. Some of these picnic were for two and others for more. They were all the best. Eaten in the mountains or by the sea, they were all enjoyable.  Wood River picnic area. Johnson Lake in Canada  Crab sandwiches in Bodega in California.... Challis Idaho  Redfish Lake Idaho. What a beautiful way to spend the Summer. Sandwiches and cookies, blue skies and good company.  Not ready for Fall.... Happy Summer Days.....

Walks, Lake Day and I've had Enough

Image
I love my morning walks this time of year. I tend to focus on the beauty  Because we all know that when Winter comes, I'll be whining. Had a beautiful day at Redfish .. Picnic and lake time.  And to finish up this post, it's my anniversary. To be honest, this has been a really hard year. I am working very hard on not correcting the things that Wes says. He is often confused and his problem solving skills are declining.  My other problem comes when we are around people in the stake and he's always walking up to people (who are apparently Bishops) and saying, ' Hello Bishop'. I don't even have words to describe how weird I think this is.   Sometimes I feel like he has joined a club that I want no part of.  If you have any words of wisdom....I need them.  I have been thinking about my mom and these were her words of wisdom...Men are weird and they get weirder w...
