Mom's leaving on a Jet Plane


Mom is leaving us today 
and going to California for a few days
There is going to be a family get together
 to remember Mom's stepmother 
who passed away in February. 

Mom worked on a special project for family members
Her stepmother loved to cook so with the help of 
her sister, mom put together a book of favorite recipes

Mom's sister typed most of the recipes 
and emailed them to mom
Then mom copied them into her photo editing software 
and added sunflower accents,
 sunflowers were a favorite of her stepmother. 


Dad brought in a table 
so mom had some room to lay pages out as they printed


Mom printed 2 recipes to a page, 
 front and back


Dad helped her cut pages and punch holes for the binding


Fourteen books! 


It will be a wonderful way to remember her 
every time we make one of these delicioius recipes

Oh Gee! Look at Earl!


He is ready to go to sunny California with Mom
 and get away from this crazy Idaho weather!


And while Mom is away we will be
running in the Mayors Marathon tomorrow

Look out we don't run you over 
with our super fast racing  stroller!
BOL!

Starting line tomorrow at
Murphy & Stanley's



We are the PugRanch Kids
Bailey, Hazel & Mabel

    I hope Earl and your mom have a good time. And I love the idea with the cookbook so much, that's just wonderful. Is there any room in your stroller for a weimaraner with tired paws too?
