Dutch Ovens, Dutch Towns

It has been a real techno-trial to even get into this website this morning, let alone get a blog posted. We seem to be very good at finding Verizon's black holes. Most of yesterday it was a teeth-grinding experience to even pull up the weather. And that would have been convenient considering the forecast earlier mentioned 'severe' and 'high winds' and other not so comforting phrases. We did go into Pella in the morning after a deluge and found a nice coffee shop with wi-fi and excellent salads. We then looked around a nearby courtyard and then hit the grocery store.

Two other couples who are part of this outing arrived in the afternoon and we decided to have supper planned and ready to go for all of us. Letha did her famous meatloaf in the Dutch oven (appropriate for Pella) and I did scalloped corn in mine as well as herbed potatoes. The ultimate camping comfort meal. We polished this all off with apple bread pudding, brownies, and ice cream. Good thing Letha and I got a long walk in early in the morning.

We sat around for a little while bemoaning the bugs, the loss of the breeze, and the distant lightning and finally gave it up. This morning is much cooler but more promise of rain. Fortunately, there's a number of inside attractions. Like the bakery.
