Did you know that July is National Berry month? Nor did I, but it makes perfect sense as it is the month when most of the berries are at their peak. Blackberries, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries all ready and waiting to be picked and eaten as is, or perhaps made into something scrumptious. I have…
Monday, Monday…oh to be young again and off for the Summer. OK, maybe not the young part but I would love to be off for the summer. Luckily we have weekends. How was your weekend? Mine was great! Although it was toasty outside for the most part I managed to beat the heat. Lucky for…
Bread Salad from Martha Stewart Wow is it hot! And steamy and did I mention humid? There is at least another four or five days for at least half of the country. Just a little reminder, to drinks lots of water and keep your kids and pets out of the heat. I don’t know about…
Southern Living Via My Home Ideas Summertime means different things to each of us but for me it means, fireflies, lemonade, visits from family, long lazy days at the beach, and hours on the porch. I love watching the world go by my front porch; people walking their dogs, getting a bit of exercise, or…
Good morning! I hope that you had a great weekend. Mine seemed to go fast, but then I have heard that as you age life seems to move faster. I am not sure about that but this weekend did. Between visits with friends and friends(below) visiting me, work, trying a few new recipes, and getting…
Good morning! How was your holiday weekend? Did you relax, unwind and eat lots of barbecue foods? Mine was filled with all of the above and more, but instead of droning on and on I thought I would just show you a few photos from my weekend. Beautiful sunny day. I do not know this…

I have been enjoying a little time at the beach, some relaxing time with friends, boating, chatting and eating and of course doing some reading. These are a…
Good morning! The rain has stopped, for now, and hopefully we will see a little sun. I am not complaining because frankly I do not mind the rain on a work day, but I would like to see the sun and fireworks over the 4th of July. Slab Apple Pie Made by Me from my…
Good morning! I don’t know about you but I cannot wait for the 4th of July celebrations to begin. Sausage, Brats and Hot Dogs from Better Homes and Gardens I love going to barbeque’s and parties and barbeque food to be more specific. Truthfully, I really like the dips and chips, the salads, and sides…
Image from Southern Living Magazine It is hard to believe that it is already July and that this week it is the 4th of July. Picnics, parties, barbeque’s, fireworks, camping, parades, and so much more. So many options for fun with family and friends. Image from Better Homes and Gardens Sitting on the beach with a…
Good morning! Summer is finally here, at least according to the calender. In my neck of the woods the weather is perfect, mid-70’s during the day and low 60’s overnight. The perfect weather to open the windows, listen the the chirping birds, and crickets and awake to the sun streaming in on your face. This…
I cannot believe that Summer is almost over. Don’t get me wrong, with the almost unbearable heat and humidity this year I will not be sad to see the end of it. Image Here I am however a little down that my schedule this year did not allow me to go “home” to the Midwest….
