Five on Friday

  1.

“You can’t put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get. ”

Michael Phelps (born 1985); American swimmer; most decorated Olympian of all-time

2.  In 16 hours this little family will be arriving to spend some time with all of us in Alberta!  The beds are ready, some meals are planned, the sandbox is waiting - just a few things like vacuuming and washing floors to still do.  We are so very excited to see them - and for Grampa to meet Malachi.

3.  This was the week of the bean!  2 more ice cream pails of cut yellow beans are blanched and in bags in the freezer.  There are still green ones but maybe we'll eat them this weekend.

4.  These little Mac and Cheese Bites are on the menu this weekend.  I think they are so cute!

5.  I'm judging one more fair tomorrow and I'm looking forward to seeing what this little community has to show.  Watch for a blog post next week showing some of the great exhibits I've seen lately.  There are so many talented people out there growing, cooking and creating things - and showing them to the rest of us!
