An apple a day....

Will forever remind me of my brother-in-law Al who died suddenly on October 1, 2007. Al was one of the kindest, honest, caring, and goofiest persons I have known. The day before he died he had been picking apples with my sister at his brother's home in Washington. Al had a tradition of getting boxes and boxes of just picked Washington State apples and then bringing them back to give to friends and co-workers in Jackson Hole, WY. The apples in the pictures are some of those that he and my sister had picked to bring home. While visiting my sister at Thanksgiving, her son had made some dehydrated apples. What an incredibly delicious and healthy snack. Slice the apples, sprinkle them with some cinnamon and let them sit in the food dehydrator for a few days. I hope you find a way to enjoy them too.
