Grossartig

most beautiful Ron

love to travel with you

Splendid dream !

Oh WOW!!! What a sight, Ron! How nice that you had an older picture to share since you haven't been able to see this waterfall recently. 2008...NEAT! The insets are all fantastic too, I especially love the last inset, it reminds me of Bryce Canyon! :D Can't wait to see these places again...

Hooray, you liked the resin pictures! :D And you know, it was a lucky find to discover them. I really did vasciliate over turning around or going to see what the glinting was. It was a shame that the sun departed mere minutes after I got there because seriously I could have spent a solid hour or more evaluating the zillions of droplets and flowing sap for cool images. I had to be very careful about not touching ANYTHING, there was sap all over everything. I would love to visit a place like this with you and share the different things that caught our eye. It's the kind of place you could visit a dozen times and always come up with a new series of interesting pictures showing different groups of droplets or whatever. I hoped to have the time the following day to return but it didn't happen. However, I am sure we'll be back and then I'll make a point to visit the sap tree earlier in the day!

Sorry to hear about the change in your Thanksgiving plans, hopefully Neal will be alright about the lack of family around. Wow, bronchitis is the WORST, I'm sorry you have sick family members. I used to get bronchitis every year and it was terrible. Haven't gotten it for years thankfully. Funny thing about keto, it keeps you extremely healthy...no colds..no flu...it's kind of crazy that way and interestingly enough, news reports are coming out that show a direct correlation between keto and lack of sickness. Anyway, I read about your sick family members and remember what that was like...I hope they feel better soon!

BOY it's COLD up your way, WOW!! It's been cold here, snowed one day quite a bit--but the temperature has gone up during the day, to about 45 or so. Snow's nearly all gone now and we didn't get the precipitation predicted which was nice because we had to go out yesterday and it wouldn't have been great to deal with bad weather too.

Ooooo, thank you for the chicken recipe! I am sadly not a fan of zest but I wonder if we could just use lemon juice instead? Also, wondering about maybe doing the duck with this recipe? We haven't decided. We were thinking about orange-glazed duck but we don't have any oranges so not sure if we can get away with it...will get back to you on what we come up with. In any event, I am sure Steve will love the recipe you linked!

Wow, your Lamb Rogan Josh sounded marvelous! Though, like zest, I cannot handle the "wool" flavor of lamb and I won't eat it. The mere smell has me wrinkling my nose and leaving the area! Used to think sheep or goat cheese all tasted that way too but was pleasantly surprised to learn that plenty of sheep and goat cheese is wonderful and doesn't taste like *ss, heh... Anyway, I think if we substituted another meat that dish would be AMAZING! We sure do love curries! Your savory crepes also sounded fabulous...nom nom nom!!!

Thai turkey soup....mmmmmMMMMMMmmmmmm...that sounds so yummy! And by the way, have Nancy make some keto apple pies and send them our way! :D (heh, there are sneaky ways to get away with pies...by using squash or zucchini for the "apples"...I want to try this some time, supposedly they are wonderful.)

Yellowstone and hiking with bears...omg no thank you very much. Grizzlies are my #1 terror, but any bear is off the radar for being afraid...I know that for the most part they are more afraid than we are but ya know, it's the "statistic" situations I can't get out of my head. Listened to a podcast about a guy who was attacked by a grizzly and the story is totally petrifying. A bear who attacked, left him to die, he escapes only to be hunted down and attacked again. How he managed to live is incredible. So yeah, hiking with bear spray is imperative.

Yes, birds and unpredictable, fast behavior do not mix. In fact, when you have a bird, you learn to move slowly around them. Doesn't take much to freak them out and suddenly you have a bird flying across the room in alarm. Loud noises also freak them out. I do know that parrots can be ideal companions for kids but they are also able to learn and incorporate moving slower and not yelling or being shrill around them. I could see how Neal would adore a bird but probably not the right choice for him--though it can be a HUGE surprise sometimes regarding those who have mental challenges and what they can handle/accomplish. One of the hardest things to understand about birds is that you cannot discipline them the same way as a dog, cat, or person. They don't understand that if they bite you and you get angry and want to retaliate to show them what they did isn't acceptable, they will just get more pissed off or totally freaked out. Also, some birds (not Pumpkin) learn that biting or misbehaving gets them attention (even if it's negative) and they'll keep doing it or increase what they're doing. Ugh....it can be a challenge but after a while, dealing with a bird's behavior becomes second nature. They are so complex!

Ok, off I go...we have some BAKING TO DO!!! We're going to make lemon curd for pancakes tomorrow and we'll make more coconut macaroons since we wolfed them down since making them a few days ago...and of course, we will cook our duck later too! JOY! :D

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! I hope you guys have a lovely rest of your day!

The waterfall is huge but the river is still very young ...
Much work still ahead
