The incomparable John Fogarty live. Great night. Favs from back in the day- still have my vinyl
At MPP for Death Cab and rain coming through pavilion roof. Some people have umbrellas up inside
Wonderful wedding last weekend. Now I have three delightful daughters in law. Both families in their entireties were celebrating.
Finally home other than to sleep after six 15 hour days. Baked dark chocolate cherry scones to relax before a day of errands and catch up chores.
New scone variation: pistachio and dark chocolate. Going to make coffee and enjoy a couple while I read.
New buy - flood of memories. 1972 I was 17 n nearing 4 months traveling around Europe on my own. Hostels, worked on farm in Norway. Slept in Vondelpark, St. James Park, a hillside overlooking Oslo harbor. In Amsterdam was asked to join a bus to India but $ almost gone n father would have killed me
Was at a religious event ina parish with significant Spanish speaking community. I noticed the man in front of had his US passport in his pocket. This shouldn’t be a sign of the times.
At 7 months, these rescued brothers have now been with us half their lives.
Great night out. He came up into the audience singing. Heard all my favorites. Thankfully, no school tomorrow.
Sunday’s sunset kept distracting me from my book - finally stepped out to take some pictures.
Went back to a favorite scone variation: dried dark cherries and 72% chocolate chips. I was generous.
This week’s variety: espresso scones with dark chocolate. Made blueberry muffins- they are almost gone already. Next: amazing sour cream recipe for Irish soda bread. Gotta love a work from home teacher work day! (I worked on stuff yesterday)
Found this boxed set of CDs and DVDs in a thrift store waiting for me. This album, especially Heart of Gold, followed the 17 year old me as I traveled around and worked on a farm in Europe in my gap year
