Our Last Meal In Europe


One of the things I am very proud of each of our kids is that they are all gourmet cooks. They grew up practicing mostly on pizza but they all create the most delicious gourmet dishes now of all sorts, whether it's Mexican, Indian, Thai, Filipino, Bar-B-Q or other favorites.

On our last night in Germany Kristan and Gerhard sent us upstairs and they made a wonderful dinner for us. They made two incredible pizzas. with ingredients they got while we were in Italy. Buffalo Mozzarella, Dry Italian Salami, Olives and other tasty things and yes even pineapple and their own homemade sauce. It was a meal Nery and I will never forget.

Thanks Kris and Gerhard you were the perfect hosts and made our visit to Europe and unforgettable experience.

Autumn Ride

There are several people with Motorcycles in our neighborhood here in Woods Cross. Last weekend we got together for a ride to see the fall leaves. We met at our church in Woods Cross and took the Legacy Highway to Highway 89 to South Weber then up Weber Canyon to Morgan then to East Canyon over to Big Mountain and down Immigration Canyon into Salt Lake then home My odometer turned over 100 miles as we pulled into our driveway. It was a beautiful day and great company. Here are some pictures of our ride.

Germans take their gardens very seriously, even apartment dwellers can rent small cottages like these near Kristan and Gerhards apartment where they can garden to their hearts content. I will do a post later of just gardens but here are a few pictures for now
Their gardening skill also extend to the cemetery. They keep beautiful gardens on their family cemetery plots.
