Wrapping up our time with Tamara

Before Tamara left, we decided that since she was likely getting married within the next year, that I should teach her some "skillz".  I had also brined a pork belly and it was ready to smoke.  We can't buy bacon here very easily (mostly not at all) so we decided to try to make it ourselves.
 Here's the bacon in our homemade smokehouse.
 Looking good!

 Ready to slice!

Can't believe it!  We did it!

I taught Tamara how to make and roll out pie dough.

Biscuits

Burnt caramel ice cream

Touching up her chap stick

Watching some last-minute you-tubes and sharing some laughs to make up for the sadness in their hearts.  It's so hard to say good-bye to the ones we love, not knowing when we'll see them again!
