Good Stuff

Always a favorite picture (above). It was originally a card my dear cousin sent me and it reminded me of the many farm stands I visit in Amish Country and even here on Long Island. And there is always a friendly cat! Come to think of it, there's always a friendly  cat at several stops I make. Lazy cats sleeping on the counter who are hesitant to move so that you can load your items or pay your bill! That's the life! I'm hoping to see this very same cousin this week if her plans work out.

So those who are part of my other pages, may know what is going on personally for Mom and our family so there have been major changes going on. Happily we have reached a period of stabilization and things are coming together quickly. The time that we have is valuable with her. Its been all encompassing but thankfully with the help of my husband and my brother and sister-in-law, things are working out well. I have so much to catch up on here at home and in the garden but I'm okay with that. It will all be here and the time with Mom is much more important.

Here is Caitlin's 8th grade graduation photo. My girl is something else. She is on the high honor roll and when she goes to high school next year she is starting a program for Deaf Interpretation which is a huge interest for her. Our celebration for her graduation is tonight at the Cheesecake Factory! That's my girl!

Speaking of girls, my chicken gals have been laying eggs and I think even one of my newbies is laying. Its hard to tell because I don't actually see it happen!

My sunflower I just love!

Have you made strawberry pretzel dessert? Some recipes call it strawberry pretzel salad. It is DELICIOUS! My family just requested it. Its one of those things I don't make more than maybe twice a year so you look forward to it!

I sure hope 4th of July has good weather! I'll be posting soon after! Enjoy your Sunday!
