A few very short years ago I never had a problem falling asleep. I had always heard that OLD PEOPLE didn't need as much sleep as younger people. I guess it is true. I didn't get much sleep last night. This morning I got up thinking about what to tell you. Here 'tis: (I was going to discribe in detail the efforts toward trying to sleep but decided it is very boring)
I went garage sale-ing with a neighbor & then lunch before we came home. Had a lovely time. She loves to cook and ALWAYS brings something yummy when we meet. Yesterday it was chocolate & butterscotch chip cookies made with flour she made from the mesquite beans off the trees in her yard. I had thought about trying that but have never gotten around to it. It is a very big and time consuming job to get enough flour from the beans. Even with a food processor it is still time consuming. You must pick the beans off the trees when they are at just the right stage, roast them in the oven or the summers very hot sun to kill any bugs that might be in them, then grind them and sift out the parts that don't grind up fine enough. I loved the cookies and love her. She is a beautiful person, inside and out.
Then, my baby brother brought supper. (I can call it supper now if I want. My late husband preferred the word dinner for the last meal of the day, now I am going back to my roots) Supper. Carl worked for two days on Green Chili Stew and homemade salsa. It was by and afar the best Green Chili Stew I have ever eaten. Don't tell my son, he also makes that dish. Good, but not as good as Carl's.
Kala, I promised to take a picture out of YOUR bedroom window. I will attach it. To the rest of you who are reading this, it is taken ALMOST at the same angle as the sunrise of yesterday. In the distance you can see snow on the mountain.
