News, News, News

 

Hello everyone,!
I am happy and proud to say
that TOMORROW is my 9th
Blogversary! Still plugging away.
I am sooooooo thankful for those
of you who still come by for a visit!

 
Mr. Ken and I went to a local Farmer's
Market and they had these sculptures in
the green space, well you know us we
couldn't resist goofing around before
purchasing our goodies.

 
We have had some beautiful sunsets
lately. I captured this one coming out
of a store.

 
My friend Nancy and I went to a Scrap-
book Expo, don't do much with my stuff
but I do use the paper and stickers at
school. The paper makes much nicer
letters for bulletin boards than plain
construction paper.



 We put our names in for some drawings
AND we both one. Pics above and below
are the goodies I won very excited!

 

 
Took Mr. Ken on a country adventure last
Friday. Didn't tell him where we were going
OR most importantly what we were going to
see. Thankfully GPS got us there. I don't
always trust it though.

 
A friend had posted on Facebook some
pics she had taken of her daughter here
and loving Sunflowers as I do I had to go
see them. So when Mr. Ken got home off
we went. Lot's of fun!



This morning I made these for Mr. He
loves the Refrigerator Pickles on the right
and as an experiment I tried a version of
the same recipe with fresh carrots.
Very early on in blogging, I got the recipe
for the Refrigerator Pickles from a blog
friend and have made them every summer
since. It is sooooo easy to make and does
not require the "canning process." plus
they are never around very long.  ;)

If you want the recipe let me know.


I will pop in briefly Wednesday with more
news, stay tuned.


~Keep on Dreaming~

  1. Hello! I am your newest follower! WoW, those sculptures are huge! Congratulations on winning the drawing. Scrapbook supplies always come in handy, don't they? I love Sunflowers, too, but I dare say, I will never find anything in Oklahoma, like the field you found! Beautiful!

    Grace & Peace,
    Pam
