Saying Goodbye and Hello
Life certainly has been distracting these days. Even so, we had some amazing meals—marinara made with fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, garlic, and basil, gobs of bar-be-que from our housewarming party, and perhaps my favorite smoked salmon fajitas for my mother’s first day of her visit. Food is always good in for celebration and solice. We had to say goodbye to our beloved kitty Meep, whose formative years as a street cat in Vegas finally caught up with her quite suddenly. At the same time we are preparing to welcome our new goats Diva and Zeus. Meep would have liked them. She is buried in the back paddock fenced off from the goats where she can keep an eye on them.Today's Lunch
