and John’s saved the day!

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.

    Ah Ann, I knew you’d under­stand! Have I sent you yet to my daugh­ter’s cute blog, a make­up review? http://www.abrushwithbeauty.wordpress.com... it’s so cute!

    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.
