It is good, normally I don't like rhubarb a little to bitter for my taste, but add in the strawberries and you get a MUCH improved taste. You can use fresh or frozen rhubarb. Actually frozen is usually a tad cheaper and it is already somewhat chunked up...the stuff is fairly expensive, but you don't need to many stalks of it. It's one of Hubby's favorites. I perfer all fresh ingredients when I can get them.

You might need to recruit some help for the big states.

Then I'm glad I made one..............ENJOY

Thanks!

Yum!

I wish it were going to be 83 here today. Today's forecast is for 100.

I am just loving this weather! But, what happened to spring? Seems we went directly from winter to summer. But, I'm not complaining....of course, after several straight days of 100+ temps, I might start to whine a bit. :-)

Wish we could be at the rally tonight, but we need to sit this one out. The next one we might be able to attend will be June 13th.

[Pippin]

That's what happens here in Maryland!

We hadn't had a spring for several years it seems!

[Mama_Bear]

When are you leaving for the great downunder?

We are leaving the evening of the 28th, we'll be back on the 7th.

"I think we have a winner, and the winner today is ALABAMA (I love that song, Sweet Home Alabama!). Now, Wyoming, just thing - in about two years YOU will get your day in the spotlight! ;)"

I was just thinking, when we get to Texas, you should definitely do it. Only a Texan can do Texas justice. ;-)

[Pippin]

And what about Maryland?

Hmmmm?

[Mama_Bear]

HA! .. you try telling that to my dad inlaw .. he went to Auburn

Unfortunately, I didn't realize until today there WAS an Auburn University in Alabama. I have since posted a link to the Tiger's website and a picture of the beautiful university, to give the Tiger's their place in the spotlight. :-)

Always nice to see you Mo. Hope you have a nice Memorial Day weekend.

[sweetliberty]

Seems to me that nic is clear our of control.

[Pippin]

And to think, the first time I saw her post was on the "Day in the Life of President Bush" thread (The Dose, we calls it)

[Mama_Bear]

And what about Maryland? Hmmmm?

I happen to know someone in Maryland who could probably do an excellent vignette of that state. ;-)

Seriously, if you would do Maryland for us, that would be great. You decide what to highlight and do the write-up and I will do the graphics and presentation. How's that? We will probably be doing these in alphabetical order, so you have many months to work on it.

"But like all wimmen, they know how to fool people (especially men) with their winsome smiles"

I don't hear YOU compainin' about it.

[Pippin]

Great!

That'll give me time to research and do a good writeup!

[Mama_Bear]

I believe that Queensland is the home of Steve Irwin and the zoo that he often shoots from.

Yes, I am a huge fan of Steve Irwin too. There is so much we want to see and experience, and so little time. Much of our time will be spent at the convention center in Brisbane. Since Rotary is paying for my husband to attend, he feels like he should go to as many programs as he can. I just feel fortunate to be able to tag along. :-)

"Mrs. Fierro & I are diet pop (NOT "soda") connoisseurs"

Y'all are obviously not southerners. For example, I drink diet coke....(even if it's Dr. Pepper).

[martin_fierro]

That is some hellacious study.

I sure hope tax $$ didn't pay for it. <|:)~

[Mama_Bear]

Google to us Finest Wimmin is like makeup to a model..:)) Can't function without it...

Now, isn't THAT the truth?

[sweetliberty]

Great map. I beg to differ somewhat though. I grew up in southern Virginia and never heard it called anything but "coke", that I can recall, till I moved to Colorado.
