I finished one of my inbetween books. It is a Sandra Dallas book called The Diary of Mattie Spenser.
A journal set in the 1860's of a newly married couple homesteading in Colorado. It was a book I really enjoyed. I give it a 9.5 out of a 10. But then I like all Sandra Dallas books.
Onto the next book!

Baby K started walking!! She is just shy of 16 months old...from the video that Maddie sent she is trying really hard.
Here are photos I shamelessly stole from facebook!
Hey Mikey holding Baby K, Cee Cee in back with her arms around Peach (most likely to hold her in place!)
Here is the beautiful family photo! Maddie is the only one of our Grands that has children...so far!

The apples are really yummy. I made another Gluten Free Apple Crisp using a mixture of Granny Smiths and Honeycrisp.
Yesterday was a Gluten Free experiment... making GF Enchiladas. Bake a chicken breast then shred it and add a can of GF Cream of Chicken Soup and a small container of sour cream. Put some mixture in the bottom of a baking dish then fill some GF Corn Tortilla Shells partially full and line the pan with them top with remaining mixture and then top with GF Cheese (Not all cheese is GF) Bake at 350 about an hour. It was really good. Comfort food!
I am eating Gluten Free for the moment...until after Adam's Wedding because I do not want to be sick for that. My stomach is still not well.
I am pretty sure that the compartments in my stomach are folded over and allow foods to mingle. I do not like foods mingling...they should stay inside their compartments...so I think I have compartment failure.
I am sticking to the horrid BRAT diet mostly especially for breakfast and lunch. Slowly I am adding something different for supper....hence the Chicken Enchiladas! So far I am tolerating it ok.
Far Guy and I have seven Doctor appointments next week between the two of us. Far Guy is not thrilled.
Oh yes proof I baked!

The old wedding gown/baptismal gown.
It has survived 4 of our Great Grandchildren's baptisms.
Now it is needed for a wedding...seems they want to display all the grandma's and mother's wedding gowns. When they heard that mine had been made into a baptismal gown they decided they wanted it anyway.
Monday morning I got it out and steamed it the best I could...that 56 year old satin fabric is not the easiest to work with.
It will hang in the dining area off the old phone for a day or so before I gently fold it back in its box. I am certain it will still be a tad wrinkled by the time it is displayed. Hopefully I will get some photos of the other gowns!
Minnesota weather: Cool High was 62F or 17C Low was 44F or 7C Fall has arrived!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes! I appreciate every one of them!
Far Guy and I worked in the garage for a little while then we decided to go to an out of the way place for lunch. On the way to lunch we could go by a cemetery where I could place some Fall flowers and take a photo of one of my cousins headstones. Then we went to lunch...Far Guy had a Prime Rib Sandwich...I had some french fries and a soda. Then we went to an Apple Orchard where I bought a bag of Honey Crisp apples! We had a lovely drive in the country.
The place we stopped for lunch ...years ago it was a general store and shirttail relatives owned it...the tin ceiling and the old wood floors remain. I recall visiting there many times.
Some of the trees are starting to turn colors.
I made apple crisp and in the evening my other baby brother and she who sees robins first came over to taste it with us!
