My newly added pictures went to the bottom of this page, so just scroll down to find them.
Here are the boothie girls at Jane's wedding. Usually we would be at the Market on a September Saturday.
Whew! Windy! bride and bridesmaids on the lawn at Grandma's house. Behind, in the distance you can see the organic cherry block, and up near the windbreak, an orchard of apricots.
Ray and Jane in the sagebrush for pictures. Down behind them is part of the home ranch, baby apple trees above the ditch, and pears, honeycrisps, and gala's below.
Pink lady apples I picked right before a hard frost. They make excellent applesauce. They are too tart for me to enjoy fresh, but those of my kids who love sour candies, love Pink Lady apples.
I've been showing Freddy my new blog. She is always an encouragement to me. She matched both the couch and the computer, so I had to take her picture.
Kate munching on some popcorn while she keeps up on the news during snack time after school.
There are always a lot of Boothies, but here is a table decked out for dinner when we were at the John's over thanksgiving. We also invited 3 exchange students to celebrate this most American of holidays with us, 2 from France, and one from Scotland.
Our kids, the John's kids, plus 3 Europeans, minus one daughter and son in law.
When you are in kindergarten around here, you get to celebrate your 100th day of school! Noah brought 100 peanut M & M's as his contribution to the class trail mix. He insisted on calling his hat a Mitre, "like the bishops wear," he says.... That's what we get for watching Shakespeare movies.
Here are all the Boothies, plus one German/Brazilian exchange student, Martina. We don't always dress in black, but while were all together for a funeral, we decided to click a picture.
Here's Peter. I clicked the shot for him to put in his graduation stuff.
Boothies a couple of years ago in the fall.
My big oven can bake serious numbers of rolls. Right now it is in my utility room, where there is an extra 220 plug. I bought the oven on ebay for $250 bucks. One of the best buys I ever made. By the way, the spray bottle on top of the oven is not full of harmful chemicals. It has water for spritzing my hearth breads during baking, for extra rise and better crust.
Here we are at a family reunion in the matching sweatshirts Grandma D gave us. Each family was color-coded---we were navy blue, the only color that had every size, including tall men's. We are minus Sarah, but include another German exchange student, Insa.
In the distance you can see Grandma's house, where I grew up (now Uncle Jim and Aunty Rena's house) from the apricot orchard.
