Day Six

Today marks six days since I've eaten meat. A lot of different things have contributed to me making the decision to try to go meatless. Not the least of which is my doctor telling me my cholesterol level is getting high. I hate having to take medication so I'm trying to control it with diet. I have been flirting with the idea of being vegetarian for a long time and have been cutting back on meat consumption all summer, so the past few days have not been a struggle at all. I'm buying Alicia Silverstone's book "The Kind Diet". I saw her on television recently and the recipes she describes sound really good. Tonight I am making a fantastic baked potato, onion, pepper and squash dish I had in Wyoming last weekend. I'm also making chicken for my husband. He isn't on board with going vegetarian and that's okay with me.
Here's a Mark Twain quotation I found today that I think is kind of cool.
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

Trying to Play Catch Up

I need a new year's resolution to keep up this blog better. The last few months have been a whirl what with yard-saling, going back and forth to North Dakota and California, gardening, and spending oodles of time in my studio.
My family also celebrated my big sissy's 50th wedding anniversary with the love of her life. It was almost a little overwhelming so many people attended. We had family members and friends from Canada, Texas, Scotland, California, Montana and Wyoming there, about 100 in all. My nephew and his girls did an outrageously good job cooking a ton of fabulous food and worked overtime making sure we were all happy and well fed. I didn't think it was possible for a party to surpass the one my sister and her husband threw for new year's eve in 1974, but I think this one did it.
I've been on the run ever since we got home Monday making jewelry and things for Hot August Nights downtown on Saturday. Anita at Simple Reflections
was kind enough to extend to me and some other artisans a table in front of her store and we're hoping to sell, sell, sell.
If you don't catch us this weekend, we will be back for the Lewiston Roundup Parade in two weeks.
