Gigi at 90!

Fran with her sister who is even older! You sure wouldn't know it by the way she tickles those ivories!

With Chris at the signing table. I think she wore out a couple of pens signing all of those recipe books.

The girls trying to look stylish in the kitchen.

Patch making off with some of the best goodies. Shame, shame, Patch.

The Williams Family

Out from Maryland for graduation and all that.


Dave and Tracey. It's all their fault. And.....yes, they are related to the Renches!

The only three left! There are eighteen total now and more coming.

Nethaniel snags a Supermodel!

Emily and Nethaniel get engaged. He has waited for so long it seems.

Of course, now he will have to wear high heeled cowboy boots all the time. I suppose it will be worth it.

Outdoor wedding. Pray that it doesn't snow! Felicitations, mon amis!

The Nielsons

Otto and Bethany getting ready to take over the famous RimRock Inn Restaurant down on the canyon near Enterprise. How exciting.



Here is one of my experiments with my homemade version of a Lens Baby!! I guess I still have a little work to do on it!

The whole bunch with little Bredon. Wow! I think he was worth all the trouble.

I am looking forward to another ride down Rattlesnake grade on the MC this summer and I will have to stop in at the RimRock for some salmon!

Ballet

Bea and Emma with their friends at the big Dance Recital.


Valerie must be pretty bad to be placed in this class!

Sisters

Little angels, all. At least they look the part!!

Beatrice at four years!

Seems these days are filled with Birthdays and Funerals. Food is always better at birthdays.

Bea with a few of her many friends. Lucky girl. This party theme was "Ballet"!

The freeform dancing was amazing.

A little coloring to get in the spirit. Our little peanut!

Perfect Easter Cake

Those of you who know me know that I'm not one for posting recipes or pictures of plates of food as I'm really not much of a cook, BUT I did want to share this cake recipe from my dear friend Fran as it's the best cake for Easter.

Coconut Whipped Cream Cake

1 pkg. white cake mix with pudding (prepare as directed on pkg. Bake in 9x13" pan.)

1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 c. granulated sugar
2 cups angel flake cocount

Bake cake. Cool 15 min. Poke holes thru to pan. Meanwhile, combine milk, sugar, and 1/2 cup coconut in pan and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer one minute. Carefully spoon over warm cake, allowing liquid to soak down thru holes. Cool completely. Whip 1 pint whipping cream, add small amount of vanilla flavoring and sifted powdered sugar to taste. Spread over cake and sprinkle with remaining coconut. Chill overnight. Store in refrigerator.

Super easy and so delicious!!!
