I'd already forgotten about our okra experiments -- seems so long ago!

Baraboo, though, seems quite fresh in my mind, namely the experience of feeling so icky after. But the money helps! And it's a lovely little town.

Maybe some day we can go back there and just enjoy the atmosphere!

yeah. sign me up for a lazy day of shopping and sipping (I'll bet Ms. Vicky makes a good milkshake. And we could knit.)

I knew before I got to your icon from the
picture that this was you! What a beautiful
presentation. Tell me, is there a specific
use for the lovely glass orbs or can you
use your imagination. I love them!

As for okra, thin sliced rounds, sauteeing,
in olive oil with mushrooms, thinly sliced
green or red tomatoes, onions, fresh garlic
and mushrooms is yummy. I use a tad of light
soy sauce sometimes in cooking this.

I also sautee okra, leaving it a
little crunchy, couple it with
shredded cabbage, carrot and rinsed
small white beans, then add my
favorite pasta and a light dressing,
usually olive oil, wine vinegar and
lemon pepper.

The orbs and globes (two sizes; globes are bigger) can be hung in windows or outdoors in the yard. We leave ours out year around and love seeing them in the winter with little caps of snow on top! I'm glad you like them!

And thank you so much for these two okra recipes!! Both sound like the kind of food we eat, and very do-able. Plus, something to do with green tomatoes! Great! The cabbage-carrot-pasta thing sounds great too! We'll try them both.

I saw a TV show once about a circus museum in Baraboo. It looked fascinating, so if you do get back there, check it out for me!

Glad you're back home again. I'll bet it feels good, after the hectic times you've had.

Yeah, Barnum and Bailey I think maybe started there, or something. And thanks....yes, I'm SO glad to be home and it feels great.

Thanks! I love seeing a mass of them in the sun; like striped soap bubbles. Except glass.

Thanks for your kind wishes! Its kind of hard having Mom still ill, but there's nothing to be done about it...she's turning 81 in a week, and she's planning to start chemo in a couple weeks. While it seems like its probably going to be one thing after another for her, healthwise, at the same time I'm focusing on how right now I'm home and its GREAT!
