Fall tomatoes

June 13, 2026

Last year Mary planted tomatoes in a little patch outside our kitchen window. They produced fruit from late summer into the fall. The tomatoes were delicious. We ate them in Greek salads along with feta cheese, red onions, and the occasional olive. Can't wait for this year's crop.

Apples cooking in the pan

I don't remember when or where this picture was taken, but I'd like to be eating those apples right now. Fried apples are so good! It would be nice to have them in a shallow dish with some vanilla ice cream and maybe some brown sugar sprinkled on top.

Mike and Lily at Tahoe

June 13, 2026

During our California road trip in May, 2026, we made a side trip to see Lake Tahoe. It was spectacular! It took about an hour to get off the main highway and drive over, but boy, was it worth it. I don't think Lily was impressed by the view.

KLM Cheese Sandwich

June 13, 2026

The flight attendant handed me a plastic bag labeled “Hand Crafted Sandwich – Vegetarian Selection”.  I wasn’t very hungry, since it was the fifth meal I had been served in the last 24 hours.  Out of boredom I tore into it.  It was a cheese sandwich.  My initial thought was “This is just sad.  After all, it’s almost brunch time.” 

Leaving Lewiston

June 13, 2026

We left Lewiston for Portugal on May 27, 2026. It took over 30 hours for us to get there. We went to Salt Lake City for 6 1/2 hours, then Amsterdam, then on to Warsaw. By the time we got to the Chopin Boutique hotel, we were exhausted.
