Well Il Papa (I do like that.) and Offspring, the bar has been set high and I did not expect less from all of you.
First let me say I want to eat at Andrew's house. Waking up to baguettes and brie sounds like heaven to me especially if accompanied by fab coffee. But alas I will stick to my rather strange but tasty and healthy bisocotti composed of spelt, flax meal, egg whites, choppied prunes and candied ginger, ground almonds, ground dark chocolate powder, orange juice and mooshed together and baked slowly, then cut into slices and baked again. Goes great with the morning coffee.
And on another culinary note I made a killer roast today. Peppered and garliced the meat, drenched in spelt flour, heated olive oil til hot, quickly seared the meat. Added a bit of water to iron pot and 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar, covered and cooked 2 1/2 hours in a 325 or so oven. Really delish.
I'm mostly spending my days running around begging for money in some form or another--cash from a real estate companies, banks, overnight stays at the Grand Canyon, biscotti from Costco, books from Barnes and Noble, ads, ads and more ads. I've raised about $4000 but need about two more. Got a haircut today and asked them to buy an ad and they agreed. I've begun to have no shame and No Fear.
Missing Picture
The other day I was driving back home down Prescott Lakes Parkway which at one point gives a view all the way to the San Francisco peaks and when I trundled over the hill I gasped at the scene before me. The mountains and hills and valleys were quite literally pink, pink with shadings of mauve to deep purple. It was so stunning I found I was holding my breath and wanted the car to hold as well so that I could drink it in, but alas people behind me would probably have not liked my stopping dead in the middle of the road to gape slack jawed at the wonders of an Arizona sunset. It's nice to be reminded in such a lovely way why I wanted to return to this part of the world.
The attached pic is not the sunset in question but one the Harpers and I chased up a hill to capture at Thanksgiving.
Missing Picture (Helllpppp!!!)
And the other picture is of course Number Three son bravely leaning against a bar with the majesty of the Grand Canyon behind him. What fun we had and to think I got to see all my sons in the space of just a few months. What a gift!!
And thus ends my first posting. Now if I can only publish it.
Well no luck with inserting photos. I'm really bummed.
I love you all,
Kitten, Mom, Nana, Gail

Okay. in the new post box, hit the little picture. browse your computer and select a photo. hit open. that takes you back to the edit box and you hit "upload image". Now here's the secret -- go get a drink of water or visit the facilities and wait for it! Moving on too quickly is the most likely source of difficulty and frustration. Ah yes, IT Help Desks at a distance, don't you love them?
