This was sure cute, driving down the road this afternoon.

Day 331
March 18
I try not to post *too* many food pictures, but this one had to be shared. I tried a vegan black bean burger recipe for the first time. Oh my goodness, were these ever tasty!
Here's the recipe. I added about 3 cloves of garlic instead of 1, and flipped them over after baking 8 minutes, and gave them about 5 more minutes. I also turned on the broiler for a couple minutes at the end. Everybody loved them, even Hannah. I'll definitely make them again.

Day 330
March 17
We were a couple minutes early when I took the kids to drop them off for choir practice this afternoon. Since it was such a gorgeous day, I thought I'd take some pictures around the church while we waited. This church (Westminster Presbyterian) has a little pond with a couple of small waterfalls dropping into it, and flowers planted all around the edges. These little flowers weren't much bigger around than my thumb.
Day 329
March 16
Sarah was being silly at the grocery store. She claimed that she had never eaten eggplant before (I'm sure she's wrong), so she wanted her picture taken with the one we were buying. I'll be making Ratatouille for tomorrow evening. Yum!
Day 327
March 14
Sarah and her friends sang at the Craterian Theater this evening. They did a wonderful job!
Day 325

These flowers are on the bush next to the road in front of our next-door neighbors' house. They're so pretty!
Day 324

At Pathfinders, we're working on the Model Rocketry honor. Here's Hannah with her rocket so far.

Day 320
March 7
Spent a beautiful Sabbath in the Redwoods at Crescent City. We drove through the woods past the Stout Grove. Then, even though it was foggy at the coast, we enjoyed a picnic overlooking the ocean. At least it wasn't too cold. We found 3 out of 5 letterboxes that we looked for, found some decent sized agates near Pebble Beach, and all in all had a relaxing day.

Day 319
The only howl rooms we could find in Crescent City, CA only had one bed. So we packed our camping cots for the girls. Our room is quite small, so Sarah's cot is right next to the door. At the end of Hannah's cot, we have about 6" to walk past on the way to the restroom. Oh well. We're looking forward to a glorious Sabbath on the coast tomorrow! Perhaps some letterboxing, maybe some hunting for agates. Definitely the picnic lunch we packed. Can't wait!
Day 317
March 4
This is one of our guinea pigs. I don't really know which one. We're trying to find new homes for them, because we're ready to be done with "small mammal pets".
Day 316
March 3
Hannah baked some crusty bread to go with the vegetable soup she's making for dinner tonight. These two loaves will barely make it through dinner with our crowd, I'm sure!
Day 314
March 1
Charlie has spent the last few days refinishing a book case my grandpa built for me almost 25 years ago, shortly after I graduated from academy. It's gorgeous!
Day 313
February 28
A gorgeous Sabbath afternoon. We went out letterboxing with a Sarah's best friend, and her mom and brother. One of our stops was in Lithia Park in Ashland.
Day 312
February 27
Sarah made a Triple Berry pie to have for Sabbath dinner tomorrow. It was hot in the house so we struggled a little with the crust, but since I'm writing this after the fact, I can tell you that it was delicious!
Day 310
February 25
At Pathfinders, we're working on the model rocketry honor. The kids seem to be having a lot of fun!
Day 308

Homemade vegedogs. They were great! They are from www.kyongweathersby.com and look for "Better Than Hot Dogs".

Yet another gorgeous sunset. We've had amazing weather here for this time of year!
Day 304
February 19
I started this jigsaw puzzle last Sabbath. I've worked on it here and there, and finally finished it this evening, with Charlie's help. He usually doesn't help with them.
Day 302
February 17
Sarah is in the Rogue Valley Youth Discovery Chorus, as are a couple of boys from church. We carpool, so I drop them off at the two different churches where they have practices, and the boys' mom brings them home after. Today when I dropped the older one off, there were turkeys in the churchyard.
Day 300
February 15
The theme of the Friendship Banquet was "50s Diner". The social committee did a great job putting it together. They served vegeburgers, fries, and milkshakes. Sarah and her best friend were the only ones in poodle skirts, although lots of other people did dress up.
Day 298
February 13
Sarah is making a cake to give away as a door prize at the church's Friendship Banquet on Sunday. She's working on her cake decorating honor for Pathfinders.
