Strolling with Charles (1) around the neighborhood.
Hot summer sun. The colors so rich and alive.
I appreciate the gardeners’ efforts.
Back at the house on the front porch he said “bubble” and pointed to the chair.Underneath was a red plastic bear with bubble stuff. You had to squeeze the Bear’s stomach and it took awhile for me to get the hang of it.
The lacy leaves in the three photos (above) were not to be eaten….by humans, that is.
And Laura took this last shot (below) on my phone as she was putting James’ lunch salad together.
A cicada, expired.
Don’t think he was the leaf eater though.
Guest blogger Kristin used this old recipe from my mother’s recipe box.
I posted about my old Throwback Recipe Blog which I abandoned but 62 El Salvadorians found recently. No one else seems to be able to access it. I was able to screenshot the post of the Rhubarb Cake Recipe. I don’t even know who Beth Boettner is/was.
Rhubarb. You either love it or not.
I suggested butter for shortening and Kristin doubled the rhubarb to 3 cups She texted her photos to me.
Here’s the cake! Looks moist.
Here is her husband Rick enjoying the cake.
Verdict? Delicious!
Love the candid. Thanks Kristin (and Rick)
Would vanilla ice cream or a bit of cream complement the taste? Hmmmmmm
Here’s the old blog address. Throwback Recipes Blog Let me know if you can get to it

Narrow: post 2
Wider, thicker, fatter, heavier would be better-it was so good.
Desired characteristics for the narrow ice cream sandwich, not me!
Guess that’s why they keep the amount of ice cream slim.
