The New Juicer

New Juicer from Wyoming

I have fond memories of my grandmother using a juicer just like the one pictured above.
For breakfast this popular appliance was used for orange juice - fresh squeezed! The grocery stores in the 1950's did not have the variety of fresh juices that one can find today. Orange juice concentrate was found in the freezer case and reconstituted with 3 cans of water to make juice,
Grandmother Wimpy also used her juicer for lemons; she made delicious lemonade and lemon ice box pies.
These juicers were made in the 1920s and 1930's hence the name depression glass. They were manufactured from colored molded molten glass and were probably used every day by the home cooks of that era.
Cindi bought this juicer and another smaller one at a yard sale in Sinclair, Wyoming. She then mailed them to me. Thank you Cindi! (I would also love a juicer in pink.)

My New Book

After James got home from work, we went to Starbucks for coffee and tea. Then we went to the book store. We took Toni; so, we took turns going into the book store. Earlene Fowler is one of my favorite authors; I hope her new book does not disappoint.

thinking of Cindi and Wyoming.....

Happy Self Portrait

While we were waiting for Old Faithful to erupt the second time, David took these images with the Kodak C613 digital camera. All three of the grandkids used the camera during the trip and TravelLady has some priceless images!

We Have Arrived

After a two hour flight to Denver and then a three hour drive to Wyoming, we arrived tired but happy to see family. My son and his family drove from Kentucky, stopped in South Dakota to see the sites and arrived in Wyoming the day before Christi and me. We are staying in houses owned by my son-in-law. My daughter has been the perfect hostess for her 'bed and breakfast.'
The temp in Memphis was in the 90's; now I am loving the 50's.

The above image is of the Wind River Range. We will be traveling to Thermopolis thru this range on our way to Yellowstone.

I miss James and Toni.....

Baby Geese

It is always fun every spring to watch baby geese grow into full grown geese. Are baby geese called goslings? Our lake has had a great number this year due to the dam failure of the other two lakes during the Mayday Flood 2010. We received about 10 inches of rain in two days.

Book Note: I finished the Mary Sutter book in about a week; I couldn't put it down. It is a very good read but not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach. The setting is during the Civil War and Mary wants to be a surgeon. At the beginning of the book, Mary is working as a midwife in Albany, New York. She moves to Washington City (now D.C.) to be close to the wounded of the war and possibly to learn the skills of a surgeon......
