Well, we added something new to our lives… And Australian Shepard puppy!
Summer is a time for BBQ’d ribs
The summer solstice for 2013 is tomorrow and it is celebrated in many ways around the world! However, I prefer to enjoy the first barbecue of the summer!
What better than barbecued ribs that have been sitting in a spicy cure? I will now boil them in the cure and cover them in a sauce for a few days the barbecue them up!
Celebrate every day with a BBQ is a luxury!
Karen’s first day and second of Conference in Dalian

It looks extraordinary!
On Karen’s second day was a full day at the conference PLUS a tour of Dalian and the surrounds! China’s largest stone animals and the largest plaza was part of the tour. A beach frequented by Russian Tourists was a hit as well!
Karen’s third day was all about her invited talk… And as is customary in our family we all say to her in a good natured way, ” What if no body comes ??!”
Knowing Karen it was a hit!
And they gave me a tea shirt
My daughters do travel and when they do the bring something back for ol Dad and Mom. The truth is… They are very generous! I particularly enjoy cookbooks… Although translations are slow and at times laborious.
Karen is presenting in China
They are fans of Jenny Craig nutrition and they bring it with them everywhere! In the above, Karen has taken a package of Jenny Craig cereal into the Cathedral of Notre Dame.
Hope everyone had a happy father’s day
Father’s Day is a special day for those of us intrigued with the art of fatherhood. It certainly isn’t for everyone’s temperament… but I can’t imagine my life without the involvement. I tend to over do it a bit on this day… and Laura is kind enough to make my favorite dessert.
