It's a good day, when....

You're hanging out the window at 5 a.m. to catch the sunrise!


Friends come for a visit and neighbors gather..


We hadn't seen John and Karen for a few years and enjoy showing off our mountain.


Neighbors and new friends join us for happy hour.


Karen makes this delicious red onion focaccia bread from scratch, as in yeast-rising dough for starters!  The recipe should appear along the right side of this blog...hopefully.


The re-stringing of a frayed and sagging day/night shade goes smoothly.  Howard's secret: just lay it out and follow the pattern of the old strings.  Our bed is the only surface large enough!


You hard boil perfectly peeled eggs.  My method, found in a cooking magazine, is cover eggs with water, bring to boil, turn off heat and cover for 11 minutes.  Drain and leave at room temperature until comfortable to handle.  There are many variations!


Making for yummy deviled eggs..


We're now ready for some football, cheering the San Francisco 49ers to victory over the Saints!


Our mountains light up in the setting sun!

It's a good day when I'm still sleeping at 5am. ;) Thanks for catching the sunrise. And thanks to Howard about restringing the shades. I haven't had to do one, yet.

My Mom taught me that about hard boiled eggs. My variation is yolks mixed with salsa.

Looks like a beautiful location to enjoy with friends and neighbors (that are hopefully not parked Too close.)

I like your egg method. It looks so easy I might not even have to ask Annie to do it.
