Corned beef turned out great. 

Made Ruebens out of the corned beef. Even made the Russian dressing. Couldn’t find it at Kroger. 

And for its grand finale, it became hash. I hope I did Candy proud. She taught me to make it. 

This giant thistle is growing in our yard. 

I think we will just let it grow. Looks pretty scary. The thistle is a symbol of Scotland and her tenacity.
