SUMMER FUN…I think we are all more than ready for some summer fun!
The storms and flooding have come and gone and as the weather calms, we
can finally relax and enjoy. What do you like best about summer? One of
my favorite past times is to travel to different towns and visit various Quilt
Shops, Craft Shops, Tea Rooms and also some Antique Shops. I really can’t
think of a better way to spend the day! Add some Quilt Shows, Shop Hops
and a Bus Trip and that’s about as good as it gets.
Many of the quilt shops have gotten and are continuing to receive their new
holiday fabrics, books and patterns. That always gets me thinking about
holiday projects. It would be nice if I would start those projects now, but I
have a tendency to wait until its panic time. The good thing is, we can get
inspired, have the patterns and material ready for that project.
Our next issue will be the Sept/Oct and I think it would be fun to publish
some of your favorite fall recipes. You can either mail them to Country
Register, P.O. Box 32581, Oklahoma City, OK 73123 or email them to us
at [email protected]. If you have pictures of the recipe, please
send them. If the recipe has a history that others might be interested in, send
that also. I know a lot of you are good cooks and we can have a lot of fun
with a fall recipe exchange.
Blessings!
Deadline for the Sept/Oct 2013 issue is

era glassware and stunning vintage jewelry. The larger unit won by Henri has some
exciting discoveries as well, including hand-painted silent movie posters, which
Henri eagerly hands over to Josie for appraisal.
When Josie receives a frantic call from Henri’s wife, Leigh Ann, the next morning, she learns that Henri never made it home after the auction. Heading to the last
place he was seen, the police open Henri’s newly-acquired storage unit. Hidden
amidst a jumble of objects, including a broken porcelain garden stool and a shattered bookcase, they find Henri, dead. Was he killed over one of the objects? Is his
wife hiding secrets that led to his death? And who was the stranger who bid against
Henri? When the police turn to Josie’s antiques expertise, she discovers more than

Substitute Spelling
The kids and I savor the last days of August freedom before our September
straddle of farm and classroom.
Each day I substitute in the schools, I wake up not knowing where, or what I’ll
teach. When the phone rings, an automated voice asks me to accept or decline my
MISSION IMPOSSIBLE. One day it is high school Chinese (though I dont even
know how to say hello in Chinese). Two weeks later it is second grade (though my
ten years experience is with high schoolers).
As the teenagers enter my classroom, they say, Oh, we have a sub today. Are we
doing anything or are we just seeing a movie? They assume I’m not the real deal.
First impressions are everything. Across the whiteboard I spell out a 13-letter word:
R-O-E-T-C-I-S-O-E-N-D-E-R. The class goes silent, then hushed whispers of what
is that?
I’m about to take roll, I say at last, turning around to their puzzled faces. If I mess
up your name, Im so sorry, but no one has ever pronounced this right, I point to my
maiden name. If you’re the first, I’ll pay you a quarter. Hands shoot up in quick
succession followed by failed attempts. (Ive never lost a nickel). And when I take
roll and mangle their names, they do not laugh or scoff. Were off to a good start.
But elementary school is very different with its varied routines, variety of classrooms
and students, and no downtime. I may teach in a school so small it has one class per
grade or in a 1200-student body with traffic patterns and flow charts to mobilize the
classes as they move through the hallway.
A second grader throws a temper tantrum in his reading group, and I whisper, Does
he do this often? One boy nods his head in affirmation. What does the teacher do?
I ask. Just ignore it, he answers. Unless it gets really bad.
One kid bites another. When I take away a boys water bottle because he wont stop
playing with it, he sobs in protest. Another child cries because she cannot tear out
her perforated page without ripping the entire sheet. At recess, its so cold, most of
the class huddles in the doorway until its time to come in. I’m wishing I were back
in the high school.
Decorating with Antiques,
Indoor and Out
Though traditionally antiques were used
throughout a home to furnish and decorate, the
current trend is to have antiques as accent pieces,
mixed in with mid century modern and contemporary items as well. This makes each object
stand out as a decorative piece creating ambiance
and character in a room, especially with proper
lighting. Specifically, you could have a high
chest of drawers from the late 1800’s in your
bedroom, facing your arts and crafts bed of a
lighter wood color. You can place a handsome
portrait or still life painting from the early 1900’s
in your living room, above the mantle displaying
family photographs. Perhaps an Oriental carpet
runner in the hallway to protect the wood floor
or an antique doll carriage in your daughter’s
bedroom would be the piece that makes the room
come alive with history and charm.
In your garden consider using an antique weathervane as an accent piece between
the flowers, or some colorful glass fishing net float balls at the base of a flowering
tree. There are many materials that have withstood the weather for a hundred years
that would be striking in your landscape, from iron benches to marble statues and
sundials. Many a garden has been designed around a favorite antique with regards to
height and color to make the cherished heirloom the center focus. Using decorative
and brightly painted picket fence sections also add to a gardens appeal and charm.
Inside your home, you can hang antique kitchen tools above the cabinets or a vintage
cooking poster over the table to bring your kitchen a touch of warmth. Discover
an old stoneware crock to store pet food in or a country store barrel for keeping
recyclables. Make your collecting fun by bringing a friend or two along as you may
just be surprised at the ideas and creativity that will abound.
From toys to kitchenwares, jewelry to furniture, folk art to marine art, stunning
landscapes or art pottery, they can all be found at an antiques show this summer.
Take the day to walk around the shows and look at objects with the thought of adding one special piece to your environment or on your property. Be sure to walk the
show in both directions, as you’ll be amazed at what pops out at you from another
viewpoint. We’ll have two exciting options for you in Concord, NH in early August.
The exhibitors are happy to welcome you and answer your questions offering suggestions on placement or lighting and all you have to do is ask. Their booths will
be designed as a room setting which will also give you great ideas of how to make
the antiques work together.
Come visit us on Wednesday and Thursday, August 7 and 8 for the MidWeek Antiques Show at the Douglas N. Everett Arena at 15 Loudon Road in Concord or on
Friday August 9 for the Pickers Market Antiques Show featuring a whole new roster
of exhibitors! Details including show hours and directions can be found at www.
barnstar.com or call us at 845-876-0616. Our homes are decorated with antiques
and we continue to find special pieces to add and we know you will have fun doing
the same! Collecting has a new adventurous meaning and you don’t have to spend
a fortune to join in. Remember our slogan, Save Natural Resources…Buy Antiques!
And yet, some moments are serendipitous. I play Bananagrams with a child who
spells out U-N-A-C-C-E-P-T-A-B-LE. I ask him how he knows that word though
I’m pretty sure of the reason. My mom used it, he explains without apology. I’ll
bet I think. And when the classs indoor recess behavior defines the word, I write
U-N-A-C-C-E-P-TA-B-L-E across the board and we discuss its meaning as well
as the meaning of honesty. We skip to math, and when they politely guess my age
a decade too young, I praise them, Youre my friends for life.
At last its the end of the day, and in a frenzy, we pack backpacks with Friday folders, papers, and homework. I must be certain who is a bus rider, a car rider, a karate
kid, and who has the proper notes to match the mode of transportation. Suddenly I
feel the weight of being a mother of 28.
We’ve all learned a lot that day, but were ready to go home. Especially me. And I
may be the only one who relishes H-O-M-E-W-O-R-K. Feeding the sheep, mowing
the lawn, or picking some late summer tomatoes is simple compared to managing
line leaders, teaching fractions, and handling temper tantrums.
My own daughters will arrive home after me, and we will kick back as they tell me
about their school day. Because of what I learned in front of the classroom, I will
better understand the view from behind the desk. I like my reduced class size of two.
At school, I’m the substitute for the real thing. At home, I’m Mom, and there’s no
substitute for that.
Charge It!
Seems like everything in my house needs to be charged up in order to work.
The problem is that everywhere I looked, there were cords. After awhile, I
wasn’t even sure what cords went to what devices! I knew there had to be
an answer to this so off I went to the big box store. $30 later, I had 2 wooden
charging stations that could be set up on an unused portion of countertop.
The cords can be hidden inside the boxes and the business end sticks out of it,
ready for plugging in to its device. Our charging stations sit close to the back
door so when we come in, phones, iPads, Kindles, iPods, etc. immediately
go into the charging station. Then, they’re fully charged when we’re ready
to head back out. Crafty people could easily build their own charging station
and customize it to do exactly what they need it to do. Try to consolidate
your chargeable devices into one area for storage – it will help make those
mornings easier! © Susan Tipsord 2013

Building Harmony
I Love Country Living
By Jeff Cappis
I love the serenity of country living. Our acreage overlooks a fair size valley. On one side
of the valley are the acreages (including ours),
and on the other side are a couple of pastures
where ranchers let cattle graze. In the middle
is an environmental reserve, and in that
reserve is a pond with a couple of beavers.
Sounds nice right?
down the road. When we all got down to the pond, the argument was still going.
“We have to get our cattle to market”, demanded one of the ranchers. “How you
going to get your cheese burgers if we don’t?”
“I’m a vegetarian you cow killer,” yelled back an owner.
As the fight went on, I looked back at the pond just in time to see two beavers
swimming with branches in their mouths. I could just imagine the conversation
they were having:

meeting, every year the owners protest and every year the county sends two difSo because of this, you can imagine the uproar when word got around that the
county was planning to remove the beavers from the environmental reserve. It
seemed that the beavers had blocked up a few culverts with their dams. This rose
the water in the pond that washed out the rancher’s road on the other side. He
simply couldn’t get his cattle on and off his property.
We had a community meeting. I call it “The Great beaver debate.”
We all met at the local firehall. Inside, it had a long table with thirty or so chairs
around it. On one side sat the ranchers, on the other side sat the acreage owners,
and in the middle sat two scared looking representatives from the county. I felt
sorry for the reps. The tensions were beginning to rise right away.
“We must protect the wildlife in the area,” said the first acreage owner to take
her turn. “Besides, that pond is their home. Who are we to decide where they can
live.”
“Why don’t we just relocate the buggers somewheres else?” responded a rancher. The acreage owners grumbled. He went on, “That’s humane.” The owners
growled. “Heck, in my day we’d just shoot em’.” The acreage owners went
berserk. There were insults flying everywhere. The two county reps began hiding
behind their brief cases. I have to admit, I even took one step closer to the door.
Eventually some one suggested that we all walk down the road to the pond. Maybe it would give us a new perspective. The battle moved out of the building and
ferent representatives. (The old ones won’t come back). To date we’ve spent $1.5
million dollars keeping everyone happy (including the beavers).
Oh ya, this year the beavers plugged up another culvert that caused the our acreage
driveways to wash out. Yup, I love the serenity of country living.

Cooking With The Oldies
My Special Moment Missed
SPECIALTY QUILTS
& FABRIC, LLC
By Barbara Floyd
Founder of The Country Register
A long time friend was coming in Mid-May for a visit and
asked if I would mind having a “tea” so she could see mutual
friends from years back. Of course this put me in the entertaining mode and I was delighted to invite the guests, plan the
menu and set the stage for a fun spring and hopefully sunny afternoon on the patio.
Plans were moving right along and I started baking some goodies, getting the kitchen
rather messy, when the Monday prior to the event the flu bug hit hard. It rendered
me rather helpless and down for two days but by Wednesday I was back up for
short times trying to mark one more thing off of my to do list. I gave in to buying
the flavored iced teas and lemonades all prepared and saved lots of mess and time.
The drinks would be served out of a collection of glass pitchers making them look
rather special. To the plain lemonade sprigs of fresh crushed basil were added for
flavor. Coffee and hot tea were on the menu but with the heat I figured there would
be few takers. The lemon curd for the scones was purchased as was the rhubarb jam.

When the doorbell rang and the first guests arrived I rushed to put on a tea apron
that has hung in my tablecloth closet for years...maybe over 20! It was to be my
big moment of looking very proper. It has two tea cups embroidered on it and is
very white fine cotton, so unlike me! After the party was over, a couple of close
friends lingered and one of them asked me about my apron. She was wondering
what the other side of the apron looked like. Much to my dismay I looked down
to see the back side of the apron, the knots from the embroidery. My big moment
and grand entrance had not been so grand after all. As you may have guessed,
I rarely use an apron but you can be sure if I ever have another tea event I will
check which way I put the apron on!

Piecing Life Together
Shhh . . . Secrets!
By Barbara Polston
What’s your attitude about secrets? Sometimes, keeping secrets is fun. I always keep secret the presents
I’ve made or selected. It seems more exciting when
the recipient opens the box and finally sees what is
hidden away inside. Joy!
Sometimes, keeping secrets is hard. Several years ago, my family went through
some extended and very trying times. In the course of working through those issues, we learned that keeping secrets—the big soap opera kind—can be damaging.
Not everyone in the family participated in this life work, which has led to varying
attitudes about secrets and secret keeping.
For example, one of our key family members lost his job of 30 years at the height
of the recession. I was the only family member who knew. I was asked to keep this
secret from my daughters and mother, which I did for six months, honoring his
request. It was SO hard! The unemployed family member was denied the empathy
and support of the rest of the family. Keeping this secret for so long stressed me.
I felt guarded when speaking with close family members. Finally, in an effort to
help him find new employment, I spilled the beans. In the aftermath, we all agreed
to a “no more secrets” rule.
Now, my dear cousin has asked me to keep a health issue from her aunt, my mother.
Her motivations seem pure; she doesn’t want my mother to worry unnecessarily. She
wants to go through her tests first and then share a cause and treatment plan, not just
a problem. I can respect her wishes, but I’m feeling guarded in daily conversations
with Mother. I’m hoping this will be resolved soon and the burden of keeping this
secret can be lifted.
I’m keeping secrets in my quilting life as well. I’m working on a big project and am
under a “gag order,” so to speak. I’ve been asked to keep the project secret until I’m
given permission to reveal it to the world. I’ve always been very sharing about my
work, readily posting photos on Facebook, showing work in progress, and talking
with friends about what I’m up to. While a few close friends know, keeping more
than a year of my work under wraps is REALLY challenging for me. My Webmaster
keeps asking if I don’t have new work to post; he’s gotten used to a pattern of steady
updates. All I can say is, “Not yet.”
Do you keep secrets well? Stephenie Meyer wrote, “Sometimes, loyalty gets in the
way of what you want to do. Sometimes, it’s not your secret to tell.”
When considering whether or not to tell my family members’ secrets, loyalty won
out. For my own secret, I’m relying on Margaret Atwood who said, “The best way
of keeping a secret is to pretend there isn’t one.” I’m getting good at pretending!

Second Wind Secrets
By Kelly Illick
This innkeeper chick has made the decision that summer
will not fly by without me enjoying it. It’s hard to get
away from the inn but little day trips are doable. I have
now come to see my little outings as mental health days.
I have informed my hubby that our usual Sunday naps
will only be every other Sunday naps. The other every
other Sunday he can nap at the beach or at the foot of
the waterfalls we go hiking to. I thought that was kind of
nice of me. You see…there are just too many beautiful
things to see in our amazing neck of the woods.
I’ve come to see one doesn’t have to go far for a little vacation. One doesn’t have
to even go for overnight. I’m keeping my day camping gear in a crate, ready to
throw in the car. Yup, the red and white checked table cloth, lawn chairs, beach
towels, cooler, paper plates, cups, plastic ware and every other non-perishable
camping accessory is ready to go. Look out northern Wisconsin here we come!
You’re not far away and I’m going to enjoy your beauty.
You see folks come from all over the states and even the world to see our lovely
area during our summer months. This innkeeper chick plans on keeping up with
the Jones and seeing the sights too. I’m sure your neck of the woods wherever
11
you are has some places you have yet to explore. Get your crate packed and head
out my friend.
These are just a few of my campfire recipes we enjoy. The first (Camp Fire
Quesadillas) are similar to pudgy pies in that you can put most anything in them
for filling. They can even be Pizza Quesadillas with traditional red pizza sauce,
mozzarella cheese and pepperoni; or make Alfredo Quesadillas with a parmesan
cheese white sauce, mozzarella cheese, small chunks of chicken breast, sweet
onions and fresh mushrooms. The possibilities are endless. The second recipe is
a great-day-starter, certainly not a breakfast low in fat and high in nutrition but
super fun around the campfire. Enjoy!
Camp Fire Quesadillas For two
• 2 teaspoons oil
• Stripped tender pieces of beef(optional)
• 1/2 medium red onion, sliced in strips
• 10 mushrooms, sliced thin
• 1/2 cup corn
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 4 flour tortillas
• 1 ½ cup shredded pepper jack cheese
Sour Cream for dipping
You will need these camping tools.
• Heavy duty aluminum foil
• Grate (for campfire) or grill
• Skillet (optional)
• Cutting Board
• Knife (I love using a pizza cutter)
• Tongs or spatula
Meat/Veggie mixture can be made ahead of time or cooked in a skillet on the
campfire. Cook meat in 1 teaspoon oil, add onion and mushrooms, cook several
minutes, lastly add corn, and drizzle with the other teaspoon of oil and season
with salt and pepper.
Lay out two rectangle pieces of foil and place tortilla onto half of each piece.
Sprinkle half of the cheese over the two tortillas, then divide the meat/veggie
mixture evenly over the tortillas, and lastly sprinkle the remaining cheese on top
of the meat/veggies. Place the remaining shell over meat/cheese mixture. Fold the
foil over the tortilla, sealing the edges to make a pouch.
Place the pouch on the grate and cook for a few minutes on each side, until the
cheese is melted and the tortilla crisp. Cut in triangles with pizza cutter. Serve
with sour cream as a dipping sauce.

Defining salad
By Janette Hess
What defines a salad? Is it the lettuce? Is it the dressing?
Not too long ago, a salad was simply gelatin with canned
fruit, or iceberg lettuce with bottled dressing. How times have changed! These
days, almost anything goes – vegetables, fruits, flavored vinegars, interesting pastas, nuts, cheeses, seafood, meats and herbs. The possibilities are limited only by
imagination and, of course, personal preference.
Salads help us cool down and lighten up the summer offerings from our kitchens.
In Tortellini Toss, the ingredients mimic those found on a fabulous pizza! For a
splurge, purchase some high-quality balsamic vinegar. Its dark, syrup-like consistency will take a salad from good to great.
When time is of the essence and freshness is essential, rely on the bagged greens
available at any supermarket. Allow salad to provide the defining moment of your
next meal.
Tortellini Toss
16 ounces fresh or frozen cheese tortellini
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Combine all ingredients and whisk to blend. Store in refrigerator.
Bacon and Broccoli Salad
¾ cup mayonnaise
4 teaspoons apple cider or tarragon-flavored vinegar
4 teaspoons sugar
1 12-ounce package broccoli slaw mix with carrots and red cabbage (approximately 4 cups)
4 to 6 strips bacon, fried crisp, drained and crumbled
1/3 cup diced red onion
1/3 cup sunflower seeds
¾ cup grated cheddar cheese (approximately 3 ounces)
Whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar and sugar. Combine remaining ingredients
in large salad bowl; add mayonnaise mixture. Stir to combine. Chill until serving
time. Makes 8 generous servings.

1 can (2¼-ounce) sliced black olives, drained
½ cup diced red bell pepper
¼ cup diced red onion
4 to 6 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
24 slices pepperoni, cut in half
1 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, lightly drained and chopped
½ cup Basic Balsamic Dressing
Prepare tortellini according to package directions. Drain and chill. When chilled,
combine tortellini with Parmesan cheese, vegetables, pepperoni slices and half of
the chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Place dressing and remaining sun-dried tomatoes
in food processor; blend well. Add dressing mixture to tortellini mixture; toss
lightly. Chill until serving time. Makes 8 to 10 servings.
“Blue” and Green Romaine Salad
8 ounces romaine lettuce (approximately 7-8 cups prepared)
2 ounces crumbled blue cheese, plus additional for garnish
½ cup chopped walnuts, toasted
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
2 green onions with tops, diced
Basic Balsamic Dressing to taste
Spread walnuts on baking sheet and toast at 350 degrees for approximately 8 minutes, or until fragrant and slightly browned. Check frequently to prevent overbrowning. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature. Tear clean, dry
lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Place in large salad bowl and, just before serving,
combine with blue cheese, walnuts, tomatoes and green onion. Toss with desired
amount of dressing. Garnish with additional blue cheese. Refrigerate leftover
dressing for another use. Makes 8 servings.
Basic Balsamic Dressing
2 tablespoons high-quality, aged balsamic vinegar
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
THE PAUSE THAT REFRESHES
By Janet Young
Sitting here along the shoreline of the beach, feeling the warmth of the sun,
while enjoying a tall glass of iced tea, it is then that I feel my first day of
vacation has begun. For you see, prior to arriving at this point, I was busy
preparing for the trip in addition to making sure I had not omitted anything
regarding elder care issues. If you are like me, the thought of going away
for a few days is not met with enthusiasm and ecstasy, primarily because of
all the extra effort that must be applied both before and afterward.
So, here I am sitting by the ocean, with my iced tea in hand, and finally for
the first time in a long time, I feel relaxed, while experiencing a peaceful
feeling settling over me.
The days pass quickly, and at mid-point I am beginning to dread the thought
of going home. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t want to see my
family, but I know when I return I am stepping back into the demands of the
real world. As much as I would love to be able to linger over iced tea while
hearing the gentle roar of the ocean waves, alas, it will soon be coming to
an end.
So, for the few days that remain of my vacation I will sit back and mediate
upon the words Mutsuko Tokunaga wrote in his book, “New Tastes in Green
Tea.”
“Drinking tea punctuates our day with precious and refreshing pauses,
whether it is after a satisfying meal, or
a much-needed pause in our busy schedules.”
So, whether you go on vacation or just do a “staycation”, remember the pause
that refreshes is the pause that will enable you to return to your everyday
routine with a newfound joy, and a general overall good feeling that you can
do what each day requires of you to do.
So take a deep breath and
PAUSE

Grandma’s Blueberry Tarts
You don’t need to be the Queen of Hearts to bake tarts. You can substitute wild
“huckles” if available.
Crust for Tart Shells

My Huckleberry Friend
“Chick-a-dee-dee, chick-a-dee-dee,” my five-year-old grandson Owen repeated as
he mimicked the bird chirping outside our kitchen window.
“What kind of bird is that?” I asked Owen. “Is it a chick-a-dee?” I was so focused
on baking I hadn’t even heard the bird’s song until Owen echoed it.
Owen and I sat at the kitchen table making tart shells to fill with “huckles,” as he
calls huckleberries. With his hands deep in the bowl mixing flour and butter, Owen
looked happy as a lark. “Chick-a-dee-dee, chick-a-dee-dee,” he imitated, smiling
as the words rolled off his tongue while he rolled out the crust for tart shells. With
all the flour on his apron, I considered baking it too.
When Owen had arrived earlier that morning, he bounded up the stairs and grinned,
ready for action! Since Owen loves huckleberries, we headed outdoors to pick some
together. After picking only a handful, Owen said, “I think that’s enough.” Off he
ran to check the apple trees for fruit while I kept picking berries. Fortunately, I had
prepicked several cupfuls before he came.

2 to 3 tablespoons cold water to moisten
Mix well, and roll 1/8-inch thick on floured cutting board. With a 3-inch cookie
cutter, cut 12 circles from the dough. Place circles in muffin tins to make tart shells.
Prick sides and bottoms 3 to 4 times to prevent puffing. Bake at 450º for 5–9 minutes
until lightly browned. Cool in muffin tin.
Fresh Blueberry Filling
Combine in 1-quart saucepan:
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Soon he reported, “No apples,” then surveyed my berry stash before helping me
pick a few more.
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Owen chattered as we went inside to wash and sugar the huckles. While the berries
simmered into sauce and the pastry shells baked in the oven, we whipped the cream.
Of course, Owen licked the sweet cream off the beaters.
1 tablespoon water
Eager to sample our tasty treat, we filled tart shells with fruit and topped them with
whipped cream. Then we laughed and chatted as we sipped our tea and munched on
tarts. “Yummm,” said Owen as he licked his fingers and gave me a blue huckleberry
smile that expressed his TEA-light.
When it was time to take Owen home, we packaged the remaining tarts so he could
share them with his family. Owen beamed as he carried them to the car.
I had debated whether I had time for Owen that day. I needed to practice my talk
on “FANtastic Grandparenting.” But after he left, I realized time spent with Owen
was the perfect preparation. After all, there’s nothing like the lessons a five-yearold can teach. I learned:
1. Listen for the birds and enjoy their songs.
2. Put your all into life, and get some flour on your apron.
3. Savor every lick of whipped cream.
4. Take time for the little (and big) people in your life.
With these lessons learned, I can’t wait to enjoy more time with my huckleberry friend—playing, nibbling, and perhaps sharing another cuppa’ tea.
Won’t you join me?

Summer A-Plenty
Is your garden overflowing yet? I hope you have lots of cucumbers and peppers
because those are my favorite! They make simple salads so good. Cubed cucumbers, peppers, onions and tomatoes combined with Italian dressing are a favorite at
my house. If you make it early in the day, the flavors meld perfectly by dinnertime.
Sliced cucumbers and peppers are always a welcome addition to a vegetable tray.
Red peppers add bright color as well. My favorite cucumber recipe is so simple; I
have it in the refrigerator all summer. It is perfect for snacking as well as putting
out as a salad. I hope you love it, too! © Susan Tipsord 2013
