I hope you are feeling better now my dear friend? <br />I too, would adore a white garden.. like the one at Sissinghurst and curiously the book I am reading is a compilation of the original newspaper columns of Vita Sackville-West called 'In your garden' it is very poetic, beautiful<br />I watched the Masters which is always wonderful, and I do agree with you that Jordan Spieth is the most charming,gracious young man, a great sportsman. The English golfing commentators were praising him for this early on in the tournament. Im sure the chap who won, Danny, is still very surprised<br />Love the picture of your library, it is so pretty<br />Love to you my dear<br />Sally xxSallynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-18419557886099884572016-04-13T16:49:06.106-07:002016-04-13T16:49:06.106-07:00The onion dip looks delicious...I am not a raw oni...The onion dip looks delicious...I am not a raw onion fan also...can take or leave ginger...mostly leave as far as garlic is concerned as long as I have had my medication I am good to go.

Yes, Oprah would be fascinating - and Jordan handled himself well at the 'green jacket ceremony' - it's always so stiff (the ceremony not the jacket) and awkward! I read your colonoscopy post and I'm happy for you! MY first try I was not 'clean enough' and refused. My second attempt was last month and I got a major migraine and never made it there. I think I will wait a long, long time til my 3rd time. Although, it should be a 'charm'...right!?!

Love a white garden! Have the look in my shade garden, but since it's shade there is more green than white. Gotta find some more white shade bloomers. Jordan Spieth is a role model for all. Makes Texas proud!!! Visit the library frequently, heard Laurie Kind speak at Book People on Saturday, and eager to read her latest book. I've made note of the titles you shared. Thanks! Have long lived by "an apple a day", especially when teaching. An apple was usually all I had time for at lunch!!! Onions, garlic, and ginger - love all three here, especially caramelized onions and ginger. Will try the recipe. And lastly, I'm still giggling about Dear Kitten. Cute!<br />Fun post! Have a great day.
