Roger's View of the World, Love and Seafood Gumbo!
Seize the Day! Put no trust in the morrow! — Horace
Without a family, one seldom thinks long term
Leroy has been writing a blog for NPR on his rodeo through cancer… something he himself has recently referred to as ‘bull riding.’ It is clear that he has a huge following and support… which although we all really fight this battle alone… because even the people we love are not always there at 3 am… still, this must be a source of comfort.
How people face death is often the true measure of who we are.
take another ride.

Well, it’s not often than Mom lags in any area of new technology… except her antique phone.
Finally, armed with all of her likes (full keyboard) and dislikes (touch phone), I found her a phone which will — among other things — allows her to auto into FaceBook.
Now, I won’t have to watch her struggle with her text messages and such.
Happy early birthday, sweetheart.

Here’s our wonderful Apple Pie just before it pops into the oven!
I think finding & using the right apples make all the difference. We have a solitary See Canyon Apple Tree that produces as much as some orchards! Well, maybe not… but they are worth it as great cooking apples!
Check out our recipe!
Hopefully, you have met a new favorite!

Ps. top it off with home made vanilla bean ice cream…. ah, nothing better!
Well, Karen and I have submitted our entries into a little contest put on by Jenny Craig. It’s called the Idea Size Challenge. It was fun just to get this far… and the most fun to have taken off the weight ( with more to go!)
There are a lot of ‘diet heroes’ out there and it is fun to read about their challenges, pitfalls and successes.
By the way — Both my wife Laura and our daughter Kristin have also succeeded fabulously on Jenny Craig, we’re trying to get them to enter.

There’s something very special in a homemade apple pie. It says something about our history and family. Of course, everyone has a favorite recipe… but the key, I believe, starts with using just the right Apples. We have a ‘See Canyon’ apple tree that makes all the difference.
Laura has made a wonderful recipe for apple sauce that is quite a hit! Here it is!
Today, I was slicing and Sauteing & Caramelizing the apples for the apple pie… more on that recipe later.
