DELICACIES!

In our spare time every other day, we pick blueberries. This was one picking during the height of the bearing season.

I have several varieties that produce enormous berries.

This perhaps is my favorite of the lilies.

This is an "Alisa Craig" onion, purchased from Jungs as a plant. Almost all of these onions grew to this size. And they are sweet; like a vandalia.

Karol's first shot at making a "Bloomin Onion," although this one is baked and not deep fried. YUM!

While Karol says that this was not her "best looking" loaf of bread, the taste was unbelieveably wonderful.

Dinner this evening; fresh broccoli and ham quiche. Was it great! No crust and so the calories were cut in half - and the taste was still out of this world.

PS:  I continue to recover from viral meningitis. My strength comes back more and more each day. I am so very thankful to our gracious God.

FAMILY REUNION

It all began at the time of our family reunion, brothers and sisters and their families. I began to feel sick; headache, body ache, temperature, and just bad feeling. I made it through the reunion from Wednesday through Sunday, and then decided that it was time to go to urgent care at the hospital in Stevens Point.

I don't want to burden you with the details except that I moved from urgent care back home and then to the hospital at Marshfield where I was diagnosed with viral meningitis. I'm back home recovering little by little day by day. I don't want to overdue it because meningitis is serious. I have to rest until the infection disappears. In my mind I'm thinking another week or two.

Thanks to God for healing and for wife, family and friends along with medical personnel who all participate in the process of returning to health. I am most grateful for the hundreds of prayers. I am blessed!

Let me share a few shots from the reunion. You do have to understand that I was really not "in my right mind" during the whole time.

Sweet cousin, Grace, and her husband, Jack

IT WAS A GREAT REUNION (EVEN THOUGH I WAS NOT THE LIFE OF THE PARTY!
