Just Sunday stuff



I finally figured out that the computer was causing the problems with my camera yesterday. After rebooting, everything between camera and computer seemed to be cool.

Anyway, here's a sampling of goodies from the Bread Basket Bakery north of Bonners Ferry, near Three-Mile Junction on Hwy 95.
Mother and I didn't plan this, but the deal is that after a certain hour, the baked goods are half-price. So, I paid $13. for all these scrumptious items.

So far, a couple of slices of bread, two cinnamon rolls and most of the pie have disappeared.

We took the shoo fly pie over to my sisters' house last night where we joined our neighbors, the Filipowskis, their friend Bill; my mother, and my sisters for eating and watching basketball.

Coach Mark Few's ZAGS are now 19-5 after hanging in there with a determined University of San Francisco team, short-handed due to suspensions of four players. As the announcer kept repeating, on Valentine's Day, San Francisco showed heart throughout the game, and they showed that they could compete without the services of the four players who refused to follow rules.

It was a great game, even though Gonzaga is still suffering from mental mistakes.

And, the shoo fly pie---it was a hit too. It's good stuff, but you don't want to cut off too big a slice cuz it's rich.

It's a quiet Sunday morning, and I haven't mapped out the day's goals yet, but I know I'll be watering lots of little cukes, 'maters, marigolds, bell peppers and snapdragons. One group of pots is supposed to have daisies, but I'm not so sure those aren't weeds growing. I'll give them a little more time before ripping them out and replanting.

Today I'm going to drop in some kale seed. Like shoo fly pie, it will be new to my palate, but I've been told it's good.

Busy week ahead with a column to write about our beloved Fr. O'Donovan, soon to be Msgr. O'Donovan, a speech to give on Tuesday to the Lutheran ladies in Bonners Ferry, a Women Honoring Women meeting Wednesday and a visit to Western Pleasure Guest Ranch on Thursday.

That one includes a sleigh ride and prime rib. Tough assignment, but I think Bill and I will enjoy the evening.

Happy Sunday and hope you're enjoying the three-day weekend.
