I had a wonderful weekend with Bill in CA!  It was great to have some time to relax together!

I thought it may be a good time to share some recipes since there isn’t much to do while flying the lonnnnng flight from CA to GA!  Hopefully my battery will hold up!  🙂  Thank you Delta for sharing your internet!  (well….. I guess it wasn’t free, but thanks just the same! )
