The Art of JU Salvant. Master Gohring's Tai Chi. Shari Elkins Hikes w Dogs. The Trip to Scotland. September, 2007. I have always wanted to go to Scotland. I am not sure how to explain the fact that it's practically the last country we've gotten to (on the short list of places I am determined to see before I die). It is a wonderful destination for nature-loving tourists like me. The countryside is pristine and dotted with castles and magnificent gardens in the east and south. The highlands to the ...This ...

The Art of JU Salvant. Master Gohring's Tai Chi. Shari Elkins Hikes w Dogs. Ireland 1996: 1 2. At Shannon, early on Wednesday, March 13, 1996, it was dark, only partly because of the hour. Our luck: a rare spring snowstorm. It was cold, too, with blustery wind, and we were very tired, having slept only 2-3 hours on the plane. Shannon Airport is not lovely. The Road to Connemara. Dyed in the Wool. On to Cashel House, where General and Mme. DeGaulle often summered in the years after the war. Cashel...After...

The Art of JU Salvant. Master Gohring's Tai Chi. Shari Elkins Hikes w Dogs. In 2005, I found myself for the first time in almost thirty years dogless, and I had a strange notion. I searched far and wide, studied long and hard, and bought myself the best show puppy I could find. She has a fancy name, but we call her Weegie. She s an American Eskimo Dog, an Eskie. A fluffy white spitz. So what did I do? I entered us in a great big dog show. Which was where we d be going. The Austin show is held outside...

The Art of JU Salvant. Master Gohring's Tai Chi. Shari Elkins Hikes w Dogs. Big Bend is a great place to go in the spring or fall. We went in August. Wow, was it ever hot. August 1980 was one of the hottest months on record for Texas weather, with 30 straight days of 100 degrees or more, even here in Austin. I took pictures with my father's then 30-year-old German camera:. Murder in the Bamboo Forest. Night Animals by Day. Remains of an Owl. Search for a New Dog. Wily’s Ruff, Tail.

The Art of JU Salvant. Master Gohring's Tai Chi. Shari Elkins Hikes w Dogs. For years, the Evil Princess worked during the day and went to school at night, eventually earning three titles - CGC, CD, and UCD - and two legs toward a fourth. The Canine Good Citizen (CGC) was a breeze, since we did it after we were pretty far along in training for our Companion Dog title, the CD, which is significantly more difficult. As soon as the new regulations came into effect, we hit the road again and got the second l...

The Art of JU Salvant. Master Gohring's Tai Chi. Shari Elkins Hikes w Dogs. These are o-o-o-ld pictures. We stayed on the protected west coast of the island, as did everyone in those days. Back then, there was just the little town of San Miguel and one or two beach hotels like ours. The water was calm, clear and turquoise. There's no need to dive: you can see all the little colorful fishies with a mask and snorkel. Murder in the Bamboo Forest. Night Animals by Day. Remains of an Owl. Search for a New Dog.

The Art of JU Salvant. Master Gohring's Tai Chi. Shari Elkins Hikes w Dogs. This is a postcard of the Chateau at Azay-le-Rideau in the Loire Valley. We saw it in mid-winter during a 3-week visit to France in 1983. It was the second time I'd seen it. The first time was 60 years ago, when I was a small child. My earliest memories are of France, and this chateau is one of the things I remember. My father is in uniform and dark glasses in the center of the picture. Murder in the Bamboo Forest.

The Art of JU Salvant. Master Gohring's Tai Chi. Shari Elkins Hikes w Dogs. Favorite dishes plain and fancy are collected on the right. I don't so a lot of measuring when I cook, and never measure very accurately. The recipes are all pretty elastic, and I like the variations. I pin up scraps of paper with basic or often used recipes, but scraps of paper come and go. Even laptops come and go. But Pommelhouse persists! So I record here these tidbits for reference. 7/8 cup flour, 1/2 tsp salt. Mix 1/2 c...
