Valentines

With Valentines Day not being too far pass, I thought I highlight some Valentines Day related activities and objects. It was a fun time blessing my Sweetheart and in the last photo remembering my Mom from the days before Alzheimers. So enjoy the photos below.

 My Sweetheart decorating sugar cutout cookies
that we had made together the Sunday before Valentine's Day

 A closer view of the yummy cookies
I iced them; my Sweetheart did the sprinkles

 A jigsaw puzzle my Sweetheart recently put together

 An African Violet for my Sweetheart

 And roses, too :)

This wall hanging was pieced together and quilted by my Mom
a number of years ago. A precious possession and memory.

Family Gathering - The Food

On July 3, our family got together for the late afternoon and evening time. There was so much good that happen there I'm splitting it into two posts - one featuring the food and one featuring the many other activities. So be sure to check them both out for the full story. :)

Beginning to gather for our picnic supper

The food table - grilled hotdogs, sweet corn, potato salad,
macaroni salad, seven layer jello salad, and a raw veggie & dip platter
among a number of other snacks and cut-up fruit

The sweet corn close up - it reminded me of my growing up days
when we made a meal out of sweet corn, butter bread, and applesauce.

Eating outside - earlier the thunder rumbled but only a few drops came

My nephews' pet dog waiting expectantly at the feet of one of my brothers

Blueberry lemon pound cake for desert made by my wife and I

And homemade vanilla ice cream to go along with the cake
We also had home grown raspberries and blueberries to go along
with it as well as a homemade raspberry syrup. Yummy!

 If you haven't done so already be sure to also check out the post entitled
 Family Gathering - Our Activities from this same event.

A Day in the Sun

Saturday, after about ten days of rain and clouds, we finally had a beautiful, sunny day. I decided to celebrate by grilling chicken over charcoal and taking a few photos of flowers around home and at our neighbors. So this post is celebrating a glorious day in the sun.

Wonderful green against a beautiful blue sky
The blooming tree in the front is very sweet-smelling.

Moments after first lighting the charcoal to grill chicken tenders

The charcoals just about ready to be spread out

Chicken tenders prepared by my wife just before going on the grill

Almost ready - yummy!

Ready to eat along with asparagus and English muffins
