Recipe: Strawberry Peach Salad

Jen, (Amy's mom) made the best salad for the bridal shower. She bought this fabulous Strawberry Peach vinegar and added oil to make dressing. She then tossed it into a big bowl of salad greens and mixed berries. This has inspired me to start eating more salads with berries.

Here's a pic of the vinegar:


Here's a pic of the label https://www.celiasgourmetfoods.com/. Apparently, they also show up at various farmers markets, so take a look at their event's schedule.


And lastly, here's a pic of Amy holding a plate of the amazing salad.

I know, most of you probably already knew about fresh berries and vinegar/oil dressing but this was news to me. - Jenny

Amy's Bridal Shower

My niece Amy is getting married. Shanna and I were able to attend the shower.

My sisters and I bought her this set of blue roses china.

Since they could not attend (the shower was in Logan UT, my sisters are in TX) Shanna and I set up a Zoom session so they could attend virtually.

It was lovely to be a part of this outpouring of love and support. Her fiancé was there at the beginning but left after the dishes were unveiled. Many fun gifts were received and memories made.

Amy's Ice Skating Show

4/23/21
Amy's Skating Show
Logan UT

I've never tried to photograph ice skating before so this was super fun. I got to see my niece ice skate and try out more limits on non-flash, superfast photography.

I have a lot of great photos of young skaters, but since I don't have permission to use them in any way I didn't even load them onto Flickr. In the end I had something like 6000 photos and it's take a lot of time to find good ones.

Too much fun and I'm super happy that so many photos were in focus and in frame. Sadly it is very tricksy to get good ice skating is photos. There were all kinds of issues such as odd backgrounds, funny faces, and costumes that look great when moving but not so great as stills. Maybe if I had filmed it and then extracted stills...

Amy did a fabulous job. It was lovely to watch her. - Jenny
