Wow. That first shot is worthy of a postcard. I too love showing up at loved ones places and cooking. Nice wood handles it looks like sister has on her kettle.
Edit: I really do like that first shot. Saved it like I often do when I come across a exceptional shot of a Kettle. Sometimes I make it my desktop shot on the computer. Hope you don't mind:

Under abit of stress right now, doing a road trip tommorrow to the tip of Nova Scotia.....and found out my 2 week old cold has become pnemonia. Looking at my computers just now put me in a happy place. I think I understand at least part of the reason your sister moved.
Hope you heal up fast, MrHoss !
That wallpaper looks awesome !
Pinion-Juniper savanna, I think.
