Rhubarb Dessert

I made the rhubarb dessert Saturday night and it looked so good I had to take it's picture before and after I drizzled frosting on it. I hope it looks as good as it tasted.

Trying to stay fit

As part of my attempt to regain strength in my legs after my break, I decided to buy a bicycle to use in warm weather when it is boring to ride my stationary bike. Whether this is an incentive to ride or a colossal mistake only time will tell. My granddaughter insisted I buy a helmet due to previous mishaps in Fairmont, and we tried some on, but nothing fit. Well, I finally found one big enough and sane enough so those of you who know my history will be reassured. The cartoon was in my Sunday paper and it seemed appropriate since I told Bob he had to be here when I rode it for the first time. Actually it was to take my picture.

Mixed-Media

As part of my mixed-media exploration, I'm making some more clay tiles. One side is one kind of clay and the other side another. I'm going to try to paint each and see how that goes. Painting the one kind didn't work well when we tried it in Boise. Wish me luck.

More Door County

Robin just sent me these pics from her camera of when we were in Door County.

Mom

Robin had some good visits with my mom when she was here. One day we took pictures.

Door County in May

Robin and I also were able to squeeze in a few days in Door County. It was beautiful and really warm for May, but the lake level is down again which is disturbing. Both in Chicago and Door County we ate very well and that has increased my desire to get out and ride my new bike. Bob is encouraging me to buy a helmet before I start out.

Robin Arrives

My cousin Robin paid me a visit last week. She had lived her whole life in Southern California, but she and her husband Jeff have recently bought a new home in the hills above Reno and are in the process of settling in. While she was here we took the Empire Builder train into Chicago and spent several days shopping and enjoying the "big city". Sorry I can't figure out how to turn the pictures. Here we are in front of the infamous Chicago Water Tower with our Victoria Secret pink bags.
