Carla's Memorial Slideshow to Her Dad and Kathi's Tribute to her Father-In-Law

Bob's CCA president picture

On this final day of posting parts of our memorial service I want to post the link to Kathi's tribute to Bob.  She has written a poem which I think is beautiful.

Kathi is giving Bob his last haircut.  Danny and I tried but she had to step in and do the job right!

Carla made a Smilebox slide show for the service.  This is it.  I think you can see the pictures a lot better this way.  Enjoy. 

Make a digital slideshow

Now Darcy wants me to make Bob's Facebook page a memorial.  I guess I will check it out on Google and try it.

Darcy is the last of our grandchildren to graduate from High School.  I am in Washington to see him get his diploma this week.  Here he is with his Grampa his sophomore year.

A Recipe from Marianne for the Cold Season Plus Darcy's Annual Military Inspection

Darcy and Bob after the Inspection

Ready to be inspected. Darcy is under the arrow.

Today I am going to post a really good recipe when it is cold and blustery.  It is a really good one for when you have a bad cold too.  Almost as good as Mom's Chicken Noodle soup.  Pat asked to have it one night when he and I were both sick with colds and it tasted soooo good, I had to have the recipe.  Here it is:

Marianne's Hot and Sour Soup

Ingredients

2 quarts Chicken Stock or water & Better than Bullion

½ cup White Wine

¼ cup Rice Vinegar

¼ cup Soy Sauce

1 Tablespoon Chinese Chili Garlic Sauce

3 Chicken breasts, cubed

1 heaping tablespoon grated Ginger

1 cup Shallots, sliced; or Onion, chopped

Green Onions, sliced for garnish

Directions:

Throw everything in a pot except green onions and cook until chicken is done and onions are soft.    Add  green onions last few minutes.

 Sorry, no pictures of soup but here are some of Darcy's Jr ROTC Annual Military Inspection.
