Pictures from Langston

  Last Sunday I took the scenic route home from Momma & Daddy's house....I drove through Langston. I always loved driving throug there. When I was little, sometimes we'd all load up on the back of the truck and go to the river to swim. Those are two things I'd never do now--ride on the back of a truck or swim in the river with the snakes!! We had to drive through Langston to get there and I always thought it was so pretty. You can see the farms through the trees and I always thought when I grew up, I'm go there and paint a picture! Its hard to get pictures driving down the road, but there are some pretty sites along the way. I especially loved when I could see a house and pasture with cows grazing. I guess that's what I always thought I'd paint. I didn't think about house I'd get the photo of what I wanted to paint. Maybe some day I'll try it!!

Lisa, here's that recipe I promised you....the one I found in Healthy Cooking magazine. Serve this with the fresh baked bread and some roasted garlic. That's my favorite meal these days!!
