Peaches!

Kendall's Bookkeeper makes an annual trek to Colorado to go to a peach festival and brings back peaches for us. This year we got two boxes.

Saturday was Kendall's birthday, but after a breakfast of chocolate chip pancakes he joined me in the kitchen and we tackled the orange orbs.

It was easier for me to place the peaches in the jars.We ended up with 24 quarts of peaches, 15 jars of Peach jam, 1 peach cream pie and some left over for eating.

Back to the Brown

This past week I was back in Denver Tuesday through Friday for business. We were at the Brown Palace Hotel again. It is a beautiful old building built in the late 1890's. I did find an hour for a massage in the Spa.

This was in my room when I checked in. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera to take a picture of the plate with chocolate covered dried pineapple, strawberry and other fruits. Yummy and beautiful presentation!

Illinois Friends

We were happy to have friends visiting this weekend from Illinois. Jenell, Doug, Wayne, Lois, Sue and Tim. They are now on their way to the Grand Canyon for the BIG hike. They will go down the north rim on Tuesday, spend some time at Phantom Ranch and then hike out the south rim on Thursday. Sorry we can't join them!

Bunko

Once a month I get together with friends to play Bunko. It is a dice game, but it's more about conversation and food. As you can see by my score card, it's a rather mundane score. Prizes are given for the most wins, the most loses and the most Bunkos.

Gardening

Gardening Arizona style. We needed to replace a few well worn plants today. That tends to happen when the mercury goes over 110 degrees on a consistent basis.
