Don’t know why I like sheep things but I do!

These and more are on a sheep page I made earlier.
Candles on the deck
We like to eat outside whenever we can in the summer. Our deck has a covered portion with a ceiling fan that makes most nights just right. And we use lots of candles! (Most have some sort of protection from the breeze created by the fan.)

Bananas get over ripe quickly in the summer. What to do? Make Banana Bread!
Add Saga cheese, Mellon and wine for a light summer supper!

MovieQueen…extra
My Mom, a.k.a., Movie Queen, died last month at 91. This is what prompted my transcribing the news clippings. While going through her papers today I came across the above note from my dad, Curtin Reinhardt to his Movie Queen.
To start at the beginning: Only in America… #1
Only in America… #7

Kidnappers Nearly Freeze to Death
Also Crowd That Gathers to See “Movie Queen” Scene
The cast of “Movie Queen” pulled off the so-called kidnapping of the leading lady, Miss Ruth M. Shaw, this afternoon and almost froze to death in the bargain. Fur parkas and a dog sled would have been more in keeping with the weather than the antiquated touring car used by the “bad men”. Of course, Miss Shaw was rescued by the hero, Curtin Reinhardt, Jr., all for the benefit of the camera and the American Legion Auxiliary show which will present the film next week.
A large crowd was on hand along Main Street to see the fun but dwindled rapidly as soon as the cold northwest wind started to whip around corners. However, the amateur cast of badmen, armed to the teeth which chattered like machine guns, hero, heroine and assembled extras, ran through the script in farcical manner.
