Good
morning all! I was just reading about Georges Méliès on who's life
story the movie "Hugo" was based. The Hugo character in the movie is
fictitious , but Méliès was a real person and was one of the first
people to invent moving pictures with special effects back in the
1800's, fascinating! If you have ever seen the silent movie 'A Trip to
the Moon', that was one of his hundreds of films.Many were destroyed
during WW1, they were melted down to make shoe heels, how sad! If you
are bored and have nothing else to do, you can go read here
Hello
friends, it's another beautiful day here in Illinois. I made some
tomato basil soup, yogurt, and copperhead bread. I'm going out for a
walk but wanted to say hello to all of you. Have a great day!
Made some blackberry jam today. My mother in law had some berries in
her freezer that she didn't want. Also made a half gallon of greek
style yogurt. I had some blackberries left over so made blackberry
slump. I thought about you Mona McGuire Decker
when I was making this today. The recipe said to serve with cream to
take the tartness out of the berries. Remember when you came to visit
me last summer, you said your grandma (?) always used cream on her
cobbler, so I guess that's why. BTW it was yummy! Looks like some bad
weather is coming our way the last few days, so I hope you all enjoyed
your Sunday.
went to the Herb and Garden show at Mt. Vernon today. It was really a
nice show, lots of things having to do with gardening. There were also
free classes. I went to one on how to use herbs for healing, very
interesting! Had lunch at Fazoli's, stopped by mom's on the way home I
had something for her that I found at the garden show and now relaxing
here at home. I hope you all enjoyed your day too.
Good
morning all! Very, very foggy this morning. I took this picture at 9
a.m. while I was walking the dog. STILL the traffic on the road was
zipping along like it was a bright sunny day...people...they be crazy!
Anyway, it's gone now, the sun burned it off pretty quickly and it's
another gorgeous day! Have a wonderful Thursday everyone!
