Swimming

We took a break from school on Thursday to go swimming in Wabasha.
I had some time to play with my camera. Even though I have had it since November,
I'm still learning!

Using the telephoto lens, I was quite far away and they didn't realize I was taking photos.

FOOD!

I love my kitchen! Love to cook, play, and eat! Made this burger recently on an english muffin with loads of yummy fried onions.

Black bean chili made with leftover prime rib served with blue corn chips

Omelette with asparagus, thyme, and manchego

One of the zillion reasons why I lOVE Trader Joe's!
