Something New Every Day

First,

I want to say

Thank You

for being such dear friends.

All of your kind wishes, prayers and thoughtfulness

strengthen my spirit.

There is something new to learn every day.

This week, there's been plenty!

phone calls, schedules, doctor's appointments, pharmacies, heat and humidity

You know!

...Amidst all of this...

There must be time to refresh.

Ahhhh yes,

No hot tea this week-too hot and humid.
...instead...

Ice Cold London Fogs!

Same recipe only on ICE

Fabulous!

Dad loves fish.

I told him he would be my first dinner guest trying out this invented recipe.

It's made with taboule.

Taboule is a Mediterranean treat made with lots of parsley, tomatoes, garlic, onions and couscous.

If you don't have time for homemade, Cedar's makes a great taboule salad.  

Why not try something new!

Just add more tomatoes and a little olive oil and use it as a topping for fish.

The haddock was really fresh... and the taboule topping was fabulous on it.

Angel hair spaghetti was the perfect side dish with more taboule topping.

Don't forget the parmesano reggiano cheese!

Dad gave it two thumbs up and thought we should try it with rice too.

My boys {husband, Chris and son, Jason} are in the Adirondack Mts. on a remote island

watching the Perseids Meteor Shower.

This is an annual event for them, with reservations made in January since they are taken quickly.

I hope they have some clear nights when they can row the boat to the middle of the lake and watch in awe.

This year, with just a crescent moon, the show should be spectacular!

...and...

{Thank you dear, sweet Saskia!  You have a sparkling heart!}

The bouquet has flowers from the seeds you sent this spring!
The cheerful bouquet is on my Dad's desk.

Blessings to you, my dear family and  friends, for all your love and concern.

You're the best!!!
