Bye bye station wagon. We are still awaiting diagnosis, a third opinion. The second opinion was that the car model was junk and we should junk it. I hate driving the truck. I hate driving Dearests car. I hope there is something we can do and not junk it just yet.
Sisters asleep.
Lots of color. The new orange.
Fried zucchini cakes with fresh local goat feta, a little salty but perfect with fresh sliced tomatoes.
This is Wilbur the pig. Her pig. She tells people we have 5 pigs, 1 pet, 4 for bacon.
My little swamp elf setting crawfish traps off our dock. Grampa T. made these for us. She is warming up to him quickly and we are enjoying his visits a lot!
Pawpaw painting the old house the new blue. This blue is the color of the sky on a perfect day. It is also the color that I painted our first house when we were first married. It was a color scheme I loved on a house in the Drake neighborhood, one day I pulled over and knocked on their door and asked them what colors they used, the paint chip names. They gave the old cans and I went to the paint store and got the colors exactly. Newport Blue and Academic Navy. Now that Drake house is purple and our old house is a different blue with white trim.But something about these colors moved me then and what better than to color our home with the memories of how our marriage began!
And last, but not least...queso blanco. Yum. I'll post more when I figure out what I am going to eat this with.......
