I know – it’s been a bit.  But I am alive and kicking, and enjoying summer pool time, along with Chloe …

So, to hit some highlights over the last few months:

Our oldest son graduated from law school, and is presently in VA for tax law.  Our youngest (the twins) turned 25, and we celebrated at our favorite Japanese steakhouse (no photo) …

Our garden is rocking!  Two words – BUNNY Pooh (compost) … Oh my goodness!!!

Sangria/swamp juice 2022 – the magical drink no longer requires any kind of written recipe and is SOOOO good!

I continue to play with recipes and incorporate yard plants/homeopathic treatments when possible …. So this is mullein, and we made a lovely Mullein Strawberry Ginger tea.  DH says he might just like it.

Speaking of DH – Chloe and the bulldog gang love him:

I’m tinkering with diamond paintings (or what DH calls ‘DOTS’) …

We’re also playing with pizza, trying to uncover the perfect homemade crust (anyone with recipes/hints … HELP!).

And, I am apparently reliving my childhood, as only a serious shopper can.  We have a gumball machine and cotton candy machine  on their way to us …

My bulldog sisters are never far from me …

Yep – those are the high lights.  Leaving with a 2022 picture of me.  Happy SUMMER Y’all!!!
