Thursday at Merrilyn’s …
at Arlete’s. Merrilyn hadn’t seen my house yet, so today was the day! Leek and pancetta tarts:
Ham & cheese crescent spirals.
No picture of dessert (my contribution) because I chickened out on making a black raspberry baked Alaska and served only ice cream with a blackberry syrup topping. I have since been reassured that a Pyrex pie plate will not break when it goes from the freezer to a 400-degree oven.
Sophia and Avery
“Grandma, can I have you iPad?” Then he’s off to his own world. He has his own tab on the home screen where he’s allowed to have 15 (free) games. If wants more, he must delete an equal number.

Happy Birthday

Eek! Justin playing ball INSIDE the house.
In and out of the cabinet. Again and again.
Kissing the boo-boo after bumping his head on the way out of the cabinet.
Thanks to everyone who sent me a card!

At the Dry Creek Ranch House. From the team at the Rio Linda Elverta Quilt Trail Project, this “quilt” is temporarily on the side of the water tower until it’s decided where it should go to be seen from Dry Creek Road.

Clockwise from bottom: Lyn’s Corn Thang, Catherine’s Creamy Corn & Zucchini, Arlete’s Hot Corn Dip
I think they liked the Hot Corn Dip. Finishing her second bowl:

This mural was painted for the first Country Faire in 2012, the 100th anniversary of Rio Linda’s founding.
