A Dry Dusty Place

Many people look at this area as a dry dusty place. We look at it as a classroom, a place of sharing and learning. There are so many talented people willing to share their knowledge of rock hounding, quilting, DC power, photography, baking, painting, truck repair, travel, that this whole experience becomes a learning opportunity as we spend time together.


The other day Tony came over for a recipe so we all sat outside and Mary dictated the recipe along with her personal changes.


Tony took notes, asked questions and made sure he understood exactly how the ingredients went together.


I spent the time taking photos and experimenting with settings on my camera.


A final word of explanation with a loaf in her hand.


Annie and Marvin dropped by with a letter for us. Door to door mail service thanks to friends.


Next day Tony brought over a loaf of wonderful dill bread. I call it flower pot bread because it's baked in a "flower pot".  He found a recipe that dared you to try it........ using the juice of your dill pickles. Incredibly yummy with a bit of cheese.

Living life the way it was meant to be from a dry dust place full of wonderful people.

Thanks for stopping by.
