Mardi Gras Dessert Treat
It's Mardi Gras and time for the traditional King Cake. This one came be mail directly from the Bakery in New Orleans and it needed was to be iced and sprinkled.

The House that Uncle Herbert Built
In 1962 my late Uncle Herbert Bridges, a very skilled carpenter, was hired in Paducah, Kentucky to assist in building the sets for their block-buster mover "How the West Was Won." He was most proud of helping to built this early pioneer home on the bank of the Cumberland River which was used in several scenes of the movie. He said the "movie set" reminded him of the early family homes that our pioneer families actually lived in.
Living on the edge of a heavily forested area is a dream come true. The view from the easy chair of my comfortable den chair through the window into the center of this primeval area is joy to behold. The view varies from season to season. I can look out into this untouched area and imagine the many worlds it beholds, the trees, the plants, the animals and the quietness away from the nearby busy areas. So as I stare out daily into this wonderland, I dream of going "Into my woods".
