Quick Update

It's been a while since I've posted. Like all blog breaks, I never intend to take a break, it just sort of happens. So, before this turns into a slump, I thought I should at least post a line or two.

Summer is off to a good start. Things have been busy lately. Business is booming and it's such a great feeling to see this dream of mine continue to grow and evolve. It's shaping up to be a banner year and that really excites me.

I throroughly enjoyed the long holiday weekend. For the first time in a long time, I didn't have any obligations on the calendar! It was such a rare treat to just make up the schedule as it went along. I spent two blissful afternoons at the pool on Thursday and Saturday. Did lots of reading and Sunday, I took a nap IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY! I never do that unless I'm sick, so this was such an indulgence for me.

Rich and I were both off on Friday and had a fun day of hanging around the house while I cooked up a traditional Independence Day feast of barbeque ribs, potato salad, chilled broccoli salad, baked beans and cornbread. Then for dessert, we made sundaes out of my Island Inspiration brownies. We had his mom over for dinner and to watch the first inning of the Cubs/Cardinals game. It was a great day!

How was your 4th?

  1. Is the chile recipe in your list the one you make at the crop? I love that. Same question on the salad dressing.

  4. Oh my, I have missed your posting! Today I placed an order with your store - stationery makes great teacher gifts and I even got one for the bus driver - then I came home about 3 hours later and opened the HUGE package you sent. YOU are so generous, thank you from ALL of us!! So neat that we were on the same wavelength today, I was ordering from you while my mail person had the package you sent in her car on the way to my new home!!
