When I was a young girl Grandma Starich would sometimes bring me a whole watermelon with a candle stuck in it for my birthday! -Sue

Rafting was great, but getting home and taking a shower is the BEST!

Lily cooks

Dear Family,
As you all know Lily is off to College August 18. She is going to be living in the honors house at Chico State. It is a great space with a large fully equipped kitchen. I am compiling a recipe book and would love any contributions you all could make. Keep in mind, Lily is an aquaterian, that is she is a fish eating vegetarian. Thats all for now.
Love Trisha

Gone Rafting!

Sunflower Market - Great Produce

Sunflower Market... open in Murray

This is my absolute favorite fruit and veggie store in Colorado. They have really fresh produce at wonderful prices and we LOVE their store brand pasta sauce (which is on sale this week). Now open in Murray across from Fashion Place Mall on State St. You can view their weekly ads at: http://www.sfmarkets.com

Jenny and Grandma watching the Parade ~1983

This picture of Jenny and Grandma reminds me of many fond memories of walking to the corner of 9th So. and 3rd E. and watching the 4th of July Parade. Then the wonderful food at Grandma's house that night for the fireworks: cold meatloaf sandwiches, hot dogs, potato salad, and applesauce cookies with brown sugar icing!

Who besides me use to drink milk out of a boot shot glass?

Grandma,
Is the boot shot glass still in your cupboard? When I was a little girl you had such cute little glasses to drink milk out of. I didn't know it was a shot glass until I was a mom myself and saw my children drinking out of it. Seems like the boot was always fought over.

Did it look like one of these?
