I don’t have a deep fryer.
Apparently, the rest of the world does. Even our friend who lived in the mountains in Spain had one.
Further questioning leads me to believe that the deep fryers are only used to make ‘chips’, aka: French fries.
Even further questioning leads me to believe that said chips are made once or twice a year.
And yet, everyone is astounded that I don’t have a deep fryer.
I have an oven.
That’s easier, less messy, and healthier.

We have had a beautiful fall to make up for our hot, hot summer.
We’re trying to get out on our bikes as often as possible to enjoy it before the winter rains come.
The trees are just starting to change color along the canal. I loved the way they matched the gold color of this bridge.
When I looked up I saw about a dozen parasailers in the sky.
It wasn’t easy to get a photo…. they kept moving around.
If you look closely you can see a couple of dots. They land on the other side of the river. The canal and river run side by side in this area.
Actually, I was too busy watching them to try harder for a photo – and then they were down.
It was a lovely day.
