Our Campsite at Picacho
Posted in Family
The term campsite doesn’t seem to really fit where we were in Picacho. It was more of a camp location. Just like when we went camping in Kofa, we just found a spot that we liked and camped. The only cost involved for us was the cost of the fuel for the generator. If it was cooler, we wouldn’t have needed the generator quite as much.

Simple Spring Snacking: Kiwi

I like the tart, not-quite-ripe Kiwi as well as the sweet, very ripe Kiwi. I remember enjoying these special treats when I was a child. Munchkin wasn’t sold on them until this week. I sliced up a few for my after lunch snack, and she asked to try one. She took her first bite and promptly asked if she could have more. Before I knew it, the plate was gone. She’s now…
