A Glorious Dawn

Eric shared this cool Carl Sagan remix with me.

"Happy Winds-day" tomorrow. (To quote a certain bear.)

Cookbook Bites

I've moved all of my cooking and recipe posts to their own blog "Cookbook Bites." I'm including recipes from the web, packages, cookbooks, et al. Just thought I'd let you know in case you want recipes that have been through a "test kitchen" so to speak. :)

The Utah State Fair

Today we went to the Utah State Fair. Here are some of the memorable things we saw...

How's this rabbit going to get to the Palace of Easter Eggs?

Ah, lemonade.

Some of the creative art was so lifelike it was actually kind of creepy.

Cows.

Tribbles.

Butter Sculpture.

Wow. Really?

Wish you were here!

It's an "Aunt"

Earlier this summer Eric's mom and dad received a call from a woman who lived near Chicago, Ilinois. She explained that she thought she might be Eric's dad's sister. After much research, DNA tests, calls back and forth, the data is in! Eric is the proud nephew of a new aunt! Aunt Traudy, welcome to the family!
