Happy Independence Day! Michael and Taylor came over yesterday and brought lunch! I wasn't expecting them to bring food, but they brought asparagus to grill, hot dogs (both beef and vegan), Greek salad, and vegan chocolate cake. I put the pancacke batter back into the fridge - we'll have pancakes for lunch today instead. We had a great time all visiting together, and Michele gave them some socks and a beautiful cross-stitched picture of her childhood Siamese cat that her mom had made and her dad made the frame. Michael and Taylor will display it and appreciate it. Michele also shared some sourdough with both of us that has history back to the Oregon Trail. I will try to keep it alive and use it regularly. Food: 8:05 am Chocolate pecan snail, 104 g blackberries, coffee
