Communal Cooking and What Not

Brain cancer is...

...one of a group of contributors to tonight’s delicious meal.

Roene gave us the idea: Slice up the remaining mini loafs, fry for crispiness, throw them on toast, and...improvise.  We used onions from the Mayfields and avocados from Gail and Melanie. The result?

Meatloaf sandwich, California Cuisine style:  Spring mix, avocado, and Kalamata olives.  So good.  Why didn't Darrell make more minis?

What Not 

Another day in California's staycation down.  Another great day to appreciate.  Here are some moments and what not that we appreciated.

• According to the sleep monitor on my Fit Bit, we rested almost 11 hours last night.  We are building a new sleep skill set!

• Teacher Linda provided good modeling for her elementary students--who are at home of course--by reading with her furry friends.  Can't help but guess that her Labrador Kela picked the books!

Thanks for teachers everywhere, Linda, whose skills are rising even higher in esteem by families who are now needing to do at home with just a few kids what teachers do every day with dozens of children:  Help them learn with love and laughter daily.

•  Christine's feet had their first tour of the top of the Brea Dam.

• Nova showed that she can rock yet another head fashion, a knit hat.

Nova's parents, both MDs, are back to work this week.

We thank them and every health care worker in our family and friend set (so many!) and across the nation as they meet our medical crisis head on.  We know we speak for us all, Team D, when we say, "Medical professionals: We thank you, we appreciate you, and we lift you up with healthy thoughts."
