Who needs Easter Eggs...

With food this colorful? Red & golden beets, yukon gold & peruvian purple potatoes, and green cabbage come together for an delicious Easter soup: Russian Cabbage Borscht. Plan is to make both traditional (red) and golden varieties and then combine them in the bowl.

Where the Buffalo roams

30 days and counting until we hit the Buffalo River in northern Arkansas. Kayak is reserved, but if someone wants to volunteer to be my paddling buddy, we can carry more stuff in canoe.

Blue Sky and Trouble River

I have always been a fan of sunsets, although friends have told me it is quite trite to think so. Whatever. We may not have much to brag about here in the 'Burg, but we do get some nice views on the river when the sun is setting. I always loved the song Blue Skies by Willie Nelson, but now it will always remind me of Tim and Melissa's wedding. Trouble River--it would have to be the Boss. If I am going to be trite, might as well go all in.

Recipe for success=karaoke and beer

One without the other is still pretty good, but together they are MAGIC!

Happy Birthday Lauchlin

Happy Birthdays, Todd & Donovan!

If they didn't want us to see and discuss, they could have easily have snuck behind the bushes shown in the left hand side of the frame.
