I love it when we can start to harvest the summer produce from my parents garden. It seems like everything tastes better with fresh vegetables and herbs!

Farwell, Old Friend
My parents dog, Goldie, passed away right before 4th of July weekend. She lived a wonderful 16 (almost 17 years). We'll miss you girl!
Stained Glass!
Dan and I had fun at our stained glass class in mid-June.
Not too shabby for a three hour class, eh?
Crazy Kiddo
Adam was so excited to sport a mohawk for one day! (It was shaved after church and was going to be completey removed that night - so as not to embarass his mom when he started summer school the next day). I love that kid!

Chicken Salad a la Erin!
Erin shared her recipe for Chicken Salad and it was delish! The main ingredients are chicken, red grapes, green onions, celery and water chestnuts. The dressing was made of mayo, soy sauce and curry powder. So simple and so fresh!
Awesome Weekend!
The post is very old, but I wrote this right after the weekend of 6/10 - 6/12. Glad I jotted it all down then, because there were lots of great tidbits and details from the weekend. :)
This past weekend was one of those that I didn't want to end. It was a good balance of time with Dan, friends and my own time.
The big event of the weekend was Kelly & Trent's wedding, but some of the other highlights were great food, catching up with friends, watching Dirty Dancing and planting my herbs, tomatoes and flowers on the patio.
More about the food!...... Dan and I tried "Smoque" for dinner on Friday - excellent ribs, brisket and sides of mac & cheese, beans & coleslaw. On Saturday, we had lunch at "The Brown Sack", where I had the BLAST sandwich (bacon, lettuce, avacado, shrimp and tomato) and fabulous chocolate shake (although I had shake envy of Dan's peanut butter / banana combo). And, on Sunday, a group of us went to Birchwood Kitchen for brunch. To top it off, I ended my day with a Brown Sound ale & bacon fat popcorn from Revolution and pizza from the Boiler Room.
Looking forward to more weekends like this - and also looking forward to spending evenings on my patio now that it's all "jazzed up"!
