Serve with tortilla chips or pour over a block of cream cheese and
serve with your favorite crackers. Makes 3 cups. Enjoy!!

A little taste of Bend

To those of you who may like to see where I will be living, I thought I would share some pictures of my two trips to Bend. One in November of 2005 and the other in August of 2007. Enjoy.

My new blog

Hi to all my friends and family !! I know this blogging thing is old hat to a lot of you, but I am just now getting on the band wagon and taking a stab at it. I thought this would be a fun way to keep in touch and also keep you updated on my fast approaching move to Oregon in March of next year. Things may be a little random at first as I learn my way around blogging, so be patient with me! By the way this title picture was taken by my brother Scott, so cool!! More to follow...
