Spaghetti Feed

As a group, we decided that last night was what we would consider the “first” of our annual spaghetti feeds under the arbor.

It was so much fun sharing laughs, wonderful food, wine and music with good friends. Even the weather cooperated. 


 The ambiance was perfect.


Complete with grapes hanging overhead.


Thom and Cheryl – that’s me! 


Dave and Rhonda 


Shauna and Paco 


And Ken; our gracious host! 


I cherish moments like this 
and the memories they build.

Beef Jerky & More

I love this time of year
BLT's for supper
made with fresh garden tomatoes
We canned 9 quarts of carrots today
and still have half in the ground,
dehydrated summer and zucchini chips
and green beans for snacking.
And a couple of days ago we made
home-made beef jerky.
