1 tsp.                     Vanilla


Mix first 5 ingredients.  Mix together margarine, corn syrup and vanilla.  Add to the dry ingredients.  Spread flat and pack lightly in a greased 9”x13” pan.  Mixture is quite crumbly.  Bake for 15 min at 375°.  Let cool for a few min before spreading the topping. (see below)

bad dog...

I made the mistake of leaving my garden bucket outside.

this what happens when you do such things and when you have a bad black puppy around!



"what do you mean? it wasn't me!"

 as you can see, EVERYTHING was EVERYWHERE!

 my garden twine

and then we add this bad dog to the picture...
but he loves raspberries as much as we do!
and hey I can't reach the ones on the bottom like he can!

 by the way, this is his new "haircut"

caught you!

he has now taught burt to help him!

at least they saved me some! yum, raspberries for winter!



quick trip to didsbury...

Curt and I decided to fly out to Didsbury, AB for the day July 17th. It was an awesome day to fly...a very smooth ride.  I wasn't sure if I could handle the 2.5 hours without a washroom, but I did it!

There were many perks to our trip...

- it was convention, of course

- we got to meet our new little niece, Adasyn

- we got to see Henry and Charmaine, our friends from Maui, HI

- and we got to see other friends and family



 uncle was very proud of his little niece

 and aunty was too, of course...in all my prego glory (34 weeks)

 the cute little peanut

 another prego with baby addy (Jocelyn at ~28 wks)

 the Knutsons

our wonderful Hawaiian parents, Henry and Charmaine
it was soooo good to see them!
