Tree Down ~ Strange Buildings ~ Jen's Parties ~ Art & Ken ~ S'mores


Good 55º cloudy morning.
 
We had quite a loud and bright thunder and lightening storm last night, but no rain. Hail in Ashland and rain at the coast. A tiny bit of rain in some places. Frustrating for the firefighters!


Yesterday Chris Holmes and his daughter Chris were here to take down the dead tree in front...
 
 

Thanks Chris!   and Chris!! For Chris' Tree Service call 541-660-8316.
Now to find something to make a birdbath out of for the stump.

My daughter-in-law, Jen, and her friend Susan have put together a party site. Of course you know Jen's talents when it comes to parties... this is very neat:

August 10th
National S'mores Day
 
You can make S'mores by putting a piece of chocolate on a graham cracker, roast a marshmallow over a flame and put it on the chocolate, topped with another graham cracker...
 
or you can bake S'mores:
 
 
 
Or.... between two graham crackers put a scoop of Rocky Road ice cream!

That stump is screaming for a nice pottery basin- something heavy- but a trash can lid could work in the mean time...

Great links- the Hyer home reminded me of my first cover story- it came to be as the home which was scheduled- the insurance company told the owner that if the artwork collection was in a magazine- they would not cover any ensuing loss.

Yes, I'm going to look for something heavy for the stump. xo

Oh my goodness!! AT LAST Jen has put her great party talent out there to share! I left a comment at the bottom but I don't think it worked. WONDERFUL!! I am so happy for her! All along I have said she should go into the party business. yaaaaa

Your burgundy beef looks like mine except I put it over egg noodles. Oh my it was good!

I think I tell you this every year but I have heard Rhonda Flemming speak and she is a devout Republican activist! yaaaa

Now to go back and read what Debbie Renolds has to say.
