Heart and Sole Run, June 2008





Emily, Chris and I ran the Heart and Sole Run benefitting St. Vincent Children's Foundation. It was my first 5k. I was really nervous. It was a nice downhill start, but at 3/4 mile it was a steep uphill that just about did me in. I finished in 37:37 which I'm really proud of. Emily stuck with Chris. He tuckered out at 1/4 mile and they walked the whole thing in about 45 minutes. Race number 2 for the summer was good.

Panning to the right. Continuing to the right. The sewing machine right next to the door.  The ironing board stored.   Super comfy fainting couch.  Perfect for napping while I watch TV. The corner behind the door. One Sunday, while listening to the talks in Sacrament Meeting, I heard this great quote from Plato regarding self-control.  The talk was about fasting.  It was a really good talk.  So, I asked, Sister Gina McQueen for a copy of the quote and cut it out in vinyl and hung it on the ceili...

Pumpkin pie

We got one pumpkin out of our garden this summer.  It was smallish.  I cut the corn stalks and tied them together and put them on the front porch with the little pumpkin next to them foe decoration for October.  November 1st I threw out the cornstalks and moved the pumpkin to the other side of the door, and I thought, "I wonder what it takes to make pumpkin pie from a real pumpkin."  So, thanks to google, I found a  Website , and, voila!  Mike and I made two of the most delicious pumpkin pies in the history of our pumpkin pies!  No time to take a photo, one is history, the other is in the freezer!
