A BEAUTIFUL DRIVE HOME
My return drive home . . .
rolling hills, Missouri Ozarks,
beautiful weather.
A magnificent sky. Fall colors.
Wide open roads. My favorite CDs.
What a show.
Sure beats dealing with the airport!
(Home, safe and sound.)

HOW JOURNALS HEAL
Journals help us feel good.
They help us express ourselves,
through words or sketches,
no matter how fine or finished.
Pen or pencil, we ramble on.
It's our quiet time,
how we speak out.
How we get in touch,
deal with issues, resolve problems.
When words fail,
a picture says it all.
Grab your journal.
Let it flow.
Express yourself!

TIME TO CURE FRESH OLIVES
California new crop olives have arrived.
Time to cure a batch.
1. Clean the curing jars.
2. Rinse and check olives.
3. Prepare curing ingredients:
o Sliced lemons
o Fresh oregano
o Fresh garlic
o Jalapeno peppers
o 1-cup vinegar
o 1/4-cup olive oil
o juice of 1 lemon
4. Dissolve salt to make brine
(Add salt until egg floats!)
5. Layer ingredients with olives
6. Cover with vinegar/brine mixture
Loosely cover and let cure for 4-6 months
in cool, dark place.
My Sicilian friend, John, cures his own
family recipe of olives each fall.
Yes, they taste better than "store bought."
