While we were away some dear friends visited next door for our lovely neighbour’s birthday and they left me a box of mixed ‘jewels’ for my glass work. I’m looking forward to getting back to it and creating some beautiful angels with pretty decorations.
Thank you C.
Our lovely neighbour Sue-next-door had an emergency operation yesterday to sort out a detached retina and today I made her the most delicious Rhubarb Cake, which we were introduced to in Arizona, to aid her recovery.

We travelled some of the old Route 66 on our way north to the Grand Canyon.

I really regret not getting one while we were there. All the best to you 😊

Be sure you don’t substitute Russian Rhubarb stalks for the key ingredient. That would not be true to Arizona, and Blazing Saddles may well be the undesired outcome. Fine for cowboys squatting around a warm fall campfire, not so fine for a formal Christmas Dinner Party.

I just looked back at your blog and somehow my comments came through when I was on your blog. Crazy! Sorry making a mess of comments, but for so long I haven’t been able to make comments on your wonderful blog. Hope you are enjoying Arizona. 🙂

Thank you. We loved Arizona and New Mexico and our last week in Atlanta with my brother and his wife whom we hadn’t seen since the pandemic. I’ll be posting over the next week or two. 😊

I looked at your blog and could not comment there, but I could comment on the Reader Page. Strange but GOOD!

I loved rhubarb when I was young. The cake sounds even better.

I loved dipping a stick of rhubarb into sugar and crunching on it! Haven’t done that in years! 😋
