a little valley in the midst of the foothills by Sanger. It was a beautiful day. Bethany Lowe was there too; she, Sheila, and I were on the kitchen team at Calvin Crest the summer of '05. We had a good time talking about the memories we have. The ceremony and reception were nice, Sheila was beautiful, the bridesmaids' dresses were pretty, the decorations and cake looked great. Then came the bouquet toss. There was tulle draped on the ceiling and when Sheila was getting ready to toss the bouquet, I knew it was going to get caught in that and fall short of all of us, so I got ready to run for it. Sure enough, the bouquet hit the tulle and fell about half way between Sheila and all of us single girls. Well, I wanted to catch it, so I ran forward and scooped it up, stunned that I had triumphed, then realized no one else had moved. So, there wasn't much competition, but I caught the bouquet and I was so excited, I still am excited. I think it was a little anticlimactic for everyone else though, bouquet tosses often are. It is hard to get a good toss right into the center of the girls where someone might actually catch it, instead of picking it up. Congratulations to Sheila and Josh!

An Eventful Wedding
I had the honor of attending Sheila's wedding on Sunday. It was at Wonder Valley Ranch,

Tip of the Day
If you ever find yourself crushing dried red peppers to make red pepper flakes, make sure to wear gloves and a mask. I did that at work today and had gloves but no mask. I was coughing, sneezing, and trying not to breathe (don't worry, I didn't cough or sneeze near any of the food). Of course, then I had to blow my nose. I took off my gloves and washed my hands, but still got red peppers dust up my nose and boy did it burn.

Calling all Veggie Lovers
On Saturday, I begin a 21 day behavior change project for my health behavior class. My goal is to improve my eating habits by eating more vegetables, getting up to the recommended daily amount by the end of the three weeks. As part of my project, I'm looking for new vegetable recipes to try. So please send me recipes, tips, favorites, anything vegetable related. Thank you. P. S. These lovely zucchini are from our garden.
