after an emotionally long day at the ER with Bobby ~ we were treated to an evening of Bob's Classic Panini's (homemade sourdough bread, double fried french fries, special slaw and pan seared provolone). 
yep ~ believe your eyes! that is indeed Bobby in the front seat of Skip's new toy.

who's a happy guy?
i have finally had the resources (thanks marilyn!) to set up a little satelite work station to construct some tuppens out of. a few days ago i sent out a postcard promoting special custom tuppens for a set price ~ blankets, aprons, totes...you name it. all proceeds are going to my big, best, boy ~ Bobby. my sweet little cancer patient has been at my side day & night, for coffee & pup cakes (thanks Mark!), for manhattans & chocolate. A few pics of Bobby post his first big walk since surgery...less than a city block. He was pooped for the rest of the day, but was more than content to sit at my side as i ironed, cut & sewed. always in the game, no matter the attraction...my bobby is right there.
it's been in the mid 90's here in columbus ~ not to cozy for thick winter skinned folks like bob and myself. here is bob re-reading one of our favorite books about wintering in rural montana: Winter by Rick Bass ~ wishful thinking!
a too hot day to eat, meant a not to hot day in the air conditioning to use the deep fryer to drum up some tortilla chips, fresh made salsa with local tomatoes, onions & herbs & of course some of that good old green stuff.
