Day Off
We got a really late start this Sunday morning so Jim suggested we take a day off and head for the Air Museum tomorrow. Today we'll just get acclimated to the area....which means we'll shop a little. So since it's a day off I thought I'd answer a couple of questions.
Tom wondered if I could post a map of all the states we've visited since July 2003. I found a map website that is the same as the map we have on the door. Here's our current "States Visited" map:
I think the count is now 29 visited....lots to go :)
Carla wanted to know, "What are Marilyn Monroes?" that we have for breakfast. Two poached eggs on rye toast. Square bread doesn't work for this recipe! I poach eggs the old-fashioned way. Bring water to almost a boil in a large skillet. Turn down the heat. Break eggs, one by one, into a small cup and gently roll into the hot water which should just cover the eggs. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Lift each egg out of the water on a slotted flat pancake turner and slide onto the rye toast. What does that look like? :)
Donna wrote about how my desert flower pictures from 2004 were very meaningful to her. I am thrilled and humbled when I learn that my writing and pictures are interesting and impactful. I only started to write this blog to keep in touch with family and friends. Now I have hundreds of readers! Glad you are with me on our travels :)
Well it's 1 PM. Time to apply more calamine lotion to the bites (they are better) and sit outside with a cold drink. Cheers!
