Colorful Food

I feel vindicated. All those dinners I cooked when I calculated not only nutrition, flavors and budget, but COLORS of food. Heaven forbid an all-yellow menu such as mac and cheese, corn, and peaches. Or worse, all drab as in all browns. I endured mockery on more than one occasion for my conviction. Now everyone is saying "Eat colorful foods--for your health," here and here and here. It makes me smile.

Sweet Sixteen

Bridgette and friends had a sleepover here for her birthday. It was fun to decorate. Rog put up the streamers; I made the cake.

Alt

Our first chance to attend Alt Summit. So fun and interesting. But my favorite part is probably seeing my family doing interesting things--grown-up people. As always, I especially love the conversation. Here, Jimmy Slemboski and Jim Blair showed up and the boys ended up in an engaging plan to start a new kind of Charter School. (Room decor by Honda.)

Turkeys

Flocks of wild turkeys are wandering the streets of Mendon this winter. These five perched in the berry tree outside our home office window. They ate every berry within their reach. They make us laugh.
