Inspiration for a kit


How about Turkish delight. These pictures here were taken in Turkey when we were on a holiday with our daughter Meghan. There are many tones and color schemes that can be drawn out of this design rich culture. Meghan made some collages on her blog that show this even better. The first pictures shows the Bosphorus River. It is a beautiful shade of blue that as you will see changes color with the lighting and the contrast. The ceiling pictures were taken is several places such as the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topaki Palace, etc. Enjoy some of this culture and have a bite of Turkish Delight if you can find some. It is every bit as good as they say.

Menu Planning Monday - Apr 6th


Wow, it's time to get back into a normal routine now that the wedding is all over. So what's for dinner? Anyone have any ideas? That's always a crazy question so here goes for this week.

Monday: Bavarian Meatball Stew
Tuesday:
Crockpot Salsa Chicken
Wednesday: Mini Meatloafs
Thursday: Tasty Italian Chicken, Lemon Asparagus
Friday: Left overs
Saturday: Catalina Meatballs with Noodles
Sunday: Easter Dinner

PS - Monday's Bavarian Meatball Stew was a real hit. Such nice change from Italian, Mexican or Asian flavors!

Thomas made a piano arrangement

Here are the pictures of your arrangement for the piano for the wedding. This first one is the original picture of the front.
Touched up picture of the front. I burnt the background to show the arrangement better.
