Mango Madness!

Oh, if we could only send mangos to all our family for Christmas! :) We've had a bounty this year and still have some coming from friends and neighbours. Love mangos!!!!

This is only 1/3 of the original amount we had....these are the ones too green to process

The finished product!


Thanksgiving 2010

Well I'm only a couple weeks out of date here! We've been to convention, which was wonderful, had a mini holiday, and now we are anticipating Christmas with our friends. I am missing our family this time of year! But we had a nice Thanksgiving (a little early) with some of our great friends here in Mount Isa!
Our feast - Turkey and stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, and greens, and of course, rolls!
Dessert was equally fantastic....pear toffee cheesecake from Wendy
...pumpkin pie (half with topping and half without) courtesy of me...
...and apple crumble just to top it off!
We had a wonderful evening playing games and stuffing ourselves and we didn't even have to go home that night...so nice!
