Daughter Kate was with me eight wonderful days. I took the most photos when we went up on the Blue Ridge Parkway. I said “up”, because that parkway is mostly on the ridge of mountains where there are glorious views. We stopped at my favorite waterfall, Sunburst, on the way to the parkway. I took one selfie, but Kate’s was better. As she explained, “I have longer arms than you do.”
We went through a little rain before stopping at an overlook. You can see the clouds behind her. I didn’t vote for rain, but I think the best views are not under a cloudless sky, but with mountains and clouds dancing together.
I often take photos when people are forced to stay still and quiet. Kate had requested deconstructed Norwegian meatballs for dinner while she was here, and here she is ready to eat. The ingredients were taken from my mother-in-law’s recipe. She always formed the meatballs, cooked them, and heated them in beef consomme to be served with rice. Her meals were beautiful, as well as tasty. My version is not pretty, but it is quick and easy.
