It's been a year --- I don't know why -- lots of stuff-- but it's July again - and I'm already disarmed - I spent the Fourth of July in Edmonds, Wa with my daughter and her family - - small town USA parade -- fireworks over the water -- wonderful experince --than the cloud show flyin back -- what an amazing experience -- and the world creates those for us everyday-- Everyday and night - if you just take note-- Iwatched the peach-apricot colored moon rise on Friday nite-- it was "capeela luna"  people live years and never watch the moon rise or set -- poor, poor people -- and the lightning bugs in my back yard trees in June are a laser show..I get totally "high " on nature.. why wouldn't you?? It's such a show off .. And I made a peach cobler with fres,ripe peaches - (alittle almond flavorin and ginger and wala!  Delish! (As my friend Dorothy used to say) -- the angel turmpet flowers are bloomin in what was her yard.. lovely--I miss her so .. but I have new wonderful neighbors and friends..Nikk and Lenna.. "the only permanent thing in life is change..." and you have to keep up with it .. and sometimes it is hard to keep up..

I love to cook -- I really love to cook and to ccok for people who enjoy my food is the ultimate -- have a new friend that heightens this... "this pie is so goo  it makes me want to hug myself" and you sure do cook good for a white woman"  epitome of compliment to me --

God is great , beer is good , and people are crazy
