A stylish left-handed opener with a simple approach to batting, Alastair Cook has been earmarked for great things in the game - not least by his mentor at Essex, Graham Gooch, who threw Cook in at the deep end of county cricket only a year after he left Bedford School, where he had broken all sorts of records. Cook captained England in the 2004 Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh and scored two centuries while leading them to the semi-finals, before scoring his maiden first-class hundred against Leicestershire at Chelmsford in 2004. A fine season followed in 2005 - he scored a double-century for Essex against the touring Australians and was voted Young Cricketer of the Year by the Cricket Writers' Club - and in March 2006 he went on to make his England debut in the midst of an injury crisis in India. He had been touring the Caribbean with the England A squad when the call came but, unfazed after a 48-hour journey, he racked up 60 in his first Test innings, then went one better in the second with a magnificent 104, becoming the 16th England batsman to make a century on debut, and at 21 years and 69 days, the youngest since Peter May in 1951. Back-to-back hundreds against Pakistan in 2006 cemented his place in the side and he was named Young Cricketer of the Year for the second time in 2006. The Ashes tour proved more of a challenge, as his technique was dissected by Glenn McGrath and Brett Lee, but his century in the second innings at Perth confirmed his mental fortitude. He was still not 23 when he scored his fifth and sixth Test centuries in the 3-0 series win over West Indies - not far adrift of the indisputable greats Don Bradman and Sachin Tendulkar, who had managed eight by the same age. Having missed England's disastrous World Cup in the Caribbean, Cook was soon cast as an opener in one-day cricket as well. He became the youngest England batsman to pass 2000 Test runs in New Zealand in 2008 on a tour in which he only managed one fifty, but his catching improved out of all recognition. Gone were the awkward fumbles; in came the daring dives at backward point, pouching six beauties in the first Test in Hamilton. His penchant for a clichéd soundbite belies a fierce determination to improve as a cricketer on every level, in every match.

Our neighbors, Mike and Jeannie, really deck us out good with summer veggies. They gave me the tomatoes and cucumbers, plus the recipe for the homemade brine/dressing to make the salad. Dee-licious.

Here is an early edition of a text written by James Cook, who was the first person to circumnavigate New Zealand, mapping its coastline. Photo taken in the Christchurch museum.
Making landfall on Palmerston, an atoll that lies about 200 miles northwest of Aitutaki. It is one of the strangest communities on the planet and dates only from 1863 when South Seas trader William Marsters arrived to set up a coconut plantation. He brought with him his Cook Islands wife and her two sisters and eventually he married all three, fathering many children. The population today on Palmerston is about 50 and all of them are descendants of Marsters and bear his name. The community lacks both an airstrip and a proper harbour, so life on the atoll is extremely tenuous and wholly dependent on subsidies from the Cook Islands and New Zealand governments. The welcome the community gave the 80 passengers on our expedition cruise ship was wonderfully warm and welcoming. Young children would ‘adopt’ a tourist with a show of over-affection, hanging on to an arm or a leg as if their lives depended on it. Physical contact with the outside world is relatively rare here and we saw a couple of cases of obvious autism. Very few places like this are left - it reminded me of Pitcairn - and one leaves wondering how much longer it can survive.
In addition to a costume contest and dunk tank, Desert Southwest held a cookout to help raise money for charity Oct. 31, 2018. (Staff photo)

The William Cook House is presently part of the MacMillan Farm property, but was originally owned by William Cook. Cook was an early immigrant from England who played an important role in the development of the area. Cook served as the community's Deputy Reeve and was on the Town Council from 1861-1863. The property for the homestead was purchased from Thomas Cook, William's brother who owned 600 acres in 1841. The two storey, three-bay brick house was constructed in 1847 for Cook and his family. The house features classical details and a south addition added at a later date between 1850 and 1880. Descendants of the Cook family lived on the property until 1938 when it was purchased by the MacMillan family to be used as a country retreat. In 2004, Robert MacMillan Jr. and his wife donated a large portion of their land now known as the MacMillan Nature Preserve to the Nature Conservancy of Canada. The William Cook House was designated as a heritage property in 1984.

Title and hens by Sjo. Sjo has been awesome about making dinner just about every single night we've been staying at Mom's & Dad's. Last night, it was cornish hens, which, sjo thought it was important to point out, are not yet cooked in this photo.

In the past few months, I have decided not to take cookie orders and instead just create for family and special people in my life. This is for someone who has given me many smiles in the past two weeks, as well as a bouquet of red roses. Peace, Joy, Cookies . . .
