I can now make "refried" beans, hummus, brown rice, etc. without much time or effort, not to mention potatoes, sweet potatoes, and artichokes. But I do know what you mean about appliances. <br />Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14136276061114462192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085311167627297994.post-75213232205524031152017-04-02T21:24:21.646-06:002017-04-02T21:24:21.646-06:00There are a few homes that we rotate between.

Sounds like the kind my Hub enjoys. And I'm very glad he finds himself amusing...because often, he's the only one. :D <br />I haven't ventured into the pressure cooker thing, even though I know they've suddenly become insanely popular. I guess I'm intrigued but I honestly don't think I can add one more appliance to my kitchen. Perhaps one day. <br />Love your wisteria photos - beautiful and sunny and definitely made me actually FEEL spring from the light in the photo. And the color reminds me of my grandmother's lilac tree...sigh. I miss them so much.

I can see why you were so excited about seeing that.<br />Do you take turns meeting at each others' homes for your lunch group? <br />I love John's joking.

The landscape is so different here in the spring, particularly this year with all the rain we've received. Normally the desert is just brown, but in the spring the fields are green, and when the flowers bloom, the fields turn yellow, orange, blue, and purple. Gorgeous!<br /><br />Our puppy club is in need of more raisers. (I'm not currently raising a puppy, so I guess I'm part of the problem.) Hopefully sometime life will settle down a little and I'll raise another guide, but in the meantime, I'm involved in the local meetings and trainings. <br /><br />I didn't use to think of myself as a chickpea person, but then there was hummus. :-)Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14136276061114462192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085311167627297994.post-5568362995321749162017-03-28T18:47:12.900-06:002017-03-28T18:47:12.900-06:00I love all the flowers throughout this post.

I'd never really thought about city vs. country experiences and how different it would be for puppies learning the ropes. <br /><br />Your soup sounds delicious, I've never tried a pressure cooker. Soup always seems to taste even better reheated!<br /><br />I know that your presence is a joy in the groups and meetings you attend. Attitudes are contagious and love lightens life!<br /><br />I've attended many air shows over the years, and I do love the Thunderbirds! I've never seen them do skywriting, wow! Your John's sense of humor sounds very much like my John's, and there is that little boy smile that accompanies the jokes that I love best!<br /><br />A lovely card from your friend, and don't they always seem to come at just the right time? This is a great reminder for me to pick some up to send when the Spirit moves me. Thank you for a lovely TToT! <br /><br /><br /><br />Josie Two Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18388032819905416258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085311167627297994.post-49137180994725515062017-03-25T10:06:50.132-06:002017-03-25T10:06:50.132-06:00I had no idea the Thunderbirds did sky-writing.
