and John’s saved the day!

--July 25th, 2010--

My bril­liant hus­band has saved the day!  The blog seems to be accept­ing pho­tos now!  I’ll inun­date you…

peaches with vanilla whipped cream

And…

pep­per (sweet yel­low for sweet Avery) stuffed with goat cheese and Fox Point, grilled

And this…

This last was the plat­ter of top­pings for our LUS­CIOUS and crazily piled-up pizza last night: sausages with pro­volone and pars­ley, a superbly juicy red onion from the local farm­stand, hot poblano pep­pers, baby porta­bella mush­rooms, a sweet red pep­per, some slightly shriv­elly cherry toma­toes who needed to be eaten, Moroc­can cured olives, and a really good local moz­zarella… HEAVEN.

Sigh of relief, sigh of grat­i­tude to Foxy Tech Sup­port for solv­ing my pho­to­graph problem!

Here’s the thing about blog­ging.  It starts out as a lit­tle exper­i­ment in keep­ing your fam­ily and friends informed about your life.  Then slowly, insid­i­ously, it becomes a man­ner of self-expression as nec­es­sary as breath­ing!  And when you try to take a deep breath and all you get is a lit­tle mes­sage say­ing, “fatal error, out of mem­ory,” you col­lapse in a sort of toddler-ish mess of frus­tra­tion.  How dare you not be able to show the world your new kit­tens and your peaches and cream?

Sigh.  More soon.  But one more kitty pic­ture, just to whet your adopt­ing appetites…

    Not to dis­par­age the fine work Foxy Tech Sup­port sup­plied, but I have an addi­tional request. What I’d like is to be able to enlarge the pho­tos when I dou­ble click on them. Any chance of that? You know how I pore over all the lit­tle details in the photo at hand.

    Also, the kit­ten pho­tos are lovely. Just look at how detailed the whiskers are. Nice job.

    Were you able to do that, John’s mom, on the orig­i­nal blog? That might help in find­ing out how to do it now… The kit­ties are won­der­ful so you must see them in detail! One sick at her stom­ach today which has led to a com­plete over­haul of all sup­plies, and a sham­poo bath for her, not her favorite thing!

    Kris­ten — So glad you have solved your photo prob­lems and the way you described it was right on. Funny how much a part of you it becomes! Kudos to John and I can’t wait to see more. Those kit­tens are darn cute by the way! Have a great week.

    The first year I blogged I didn’t use any pho­tos … and now I can’t bear to post with­out them! I know exactly how you must have felt.

    We are just enjoy­ing those few short weeks when peaches can be found in Wait­rose. I made peach cob­bler the other night. I can’t get through July with­out it.

    Wait­rose peaches, Bee! They are quite per­fect. How about Por­to­bello Road? Any bet­ter? Here we are inun­dated at the farm­stand. And the day we picked six pounds of blue­ber­ries? Don’t get me started on the peaches we got that day. Unbelievable.
