October 16-21, 2015: Trip to Mt. Juliet, TN and home again

After our Palo Alto trip, Mike flew back home to Albuquerque and I flew to Tennessee to see my dad and my sisters. I spent October 16th and 17th with my step-sister Sherry Carver, then stayed with my twin sister Cathy Lemmon from the 18th through the 21st. Here's me, Sherry, and Cathy at an Asian restaurant for dinner to celebrate our November birthdays early. During my visit, we went to the movies, bowling, shopping, ate out, and had a great time visiting and laughing together!

Three sisters--Celestine, Sherry, and Cathy
Me and Cathy wearing our "kitty cat" pajamas from Sherry
One of the pasta dishes (complete frozen meal in a bag!) Mike made while I was in TN
Yummy blueberry crumb muffins that Tami DeGolyer brought
over to Mike while I was in TN. Mike had been sick with a cold for over a week
When I returned home to Albuquerque, I was pleased to find that the weather had cooled down
Pretty autumn leaves near the Seminary building where I work
Vibrant colored vines on our side yard wall
The Pineapple Sage shrub in our back yard garden in full bloom
The last of our garden zucchini, peppers, chiles, and tomatoes
One of many hearty vegetable meat soups I made this fall
My first attempt at Artisan bread; I got the recipe from Alec Smith, my boss
Here, I've shaped the balls of dough 
The herb-rusted bread before it's baked
These were delicious! We dipped pieces of this bread into a seasoned balsamic
and olive oil mixture and enjoyed it with fresh salad and hot soup
Chef salad ready to go! We shared this meal with Jacob and Shauna's family
A pot of homemade vegetable beef and pork soup to warm our bellies!
Add Rustic Artisan Bread to complete the meal
