Panning for gold - 1974. Somewhere out west.
Flashback Friday - Paleontologists
1974This must have been the summer that we visited Dinosaur National Monument. Here we are camped in the North Dakota Badlands. We spent a long time unearthing a jaw in the gully behind our campsite. We were sure it was a dinosaur - jaw my father informed us it was a cow jaw. My sister says she still has those teeth!In the morning our tents were COVERED with mosquitoes. We broke camp quickly and tossed everything in the car without packing it neatly. We had breakfast farther down the road.Look, all three of us were wearing keds! I guess we had different colors so we would know whose were whose. My sister on the left is wearing a home made sun hat. I am in the middle wearing a dress/shorts set made by my mom. I still have both patterns. We were so cool!
All The Trimmings
I was asked to submit a photo and blurb about myself to the local paper to help promote the All The Trimmings show that I will be a part of on December 4.I am usually the one taking the photos around here and there are very few pictures of me. M came home from high school exams early so I enlisted his help. There was a bit of silliness during the photo shoot but we did get a few good pictures. This is the one I sent to the paper.
I am off do do my grocery shopping for tommorow's family feast. There will just be the five of us here this year but we will still make our favorite feast dishes. For us it is doesn't seem like Thanksgiving without the Harris family dressing and the Carson family corn pudding.What are your favorite feast dishes?
