“Treasure hunts”

August 14, 2021
I remember when we lived in Rhode Island on 7 Crestwood Road, that Dad would sometimes get me up early in the morning and announce that wer were going in a treasure hunt. A “Treasure hunt” involved taking a ride in the Sunbeam down to the local town beach and walking along the tideline looking for interesting items that had washed up. 

The term “treasure” was used loosely in this case. I think the most coveted piece of treasure was a 1ft slab of some kind of plastic slag, probably a buy product of an injection molding factory somewhere along the Bay. 

Regardless, these are fond memories of time spent with my Dad.

Cream Cheese Frosting

March 1, 2019

Julien was at our home for a birthday celebration.  I had made these lovely cupcakes and was serving them for the birthday celebration.  I passed one out to everyone and we were all enjoying them.  I think Julien took one bite of his and nicely put his napkin on top of it.  After a short time, he then took his plate, cleared other people's plates and took them to the trash.  That struck me as a bit odd that he was cleaning up the dishes ... and then I realized.....I had put creme cheese in the frosting!  Oops, I forgot he detested cheese!!!!  He was graciously getting rid of the evidence so my feelings weren't hurt!

And, on the cheese note...he was always so gracious when Jill, Mike and I wanted Mexican food.  We found a restaurant on Ventura Blvd. that was acceptable to him and we would always carefully order him a meat and mushroom dish.  I know it was always a stretch for him to go with us!  But he was a good sport!!!
