Hello!
Today I am happy to say that it is my
blogversary!
Country Dreaming is 11 years old
TODAY!
Most of you know the story of Dreaming's
arrival in blogland, for those who don't
here goes. Back in 2009 Mr. Ken was had
been laid of from his job after 20 years with
the company he worked at. Needless to say
BIG SURPRISE to us and not a good one.
Nancy Yoakum--Acorn Cottage suggested
I start blogging, she said I would enjoy it.
After mulling and mulling I decided to
jump in the pond. Mr. Ken helped me
get Dreaming up and running. As it
was July and I was on school break this
was the perfect time to start. Plus it gave
me something to focus on other than the
fact that my spouse was out of work. I
was a bit slow at first but soon catch on.
My little blog is not fancy but it suits me
and I can pick any topic to talk about. :)
During busy times, it was hard to keep
updated, friends have come and gone,
other social media has taken the place
of blogging for some but I am still plug-
ging along. One thing that has come
from this craziness that we are all dealing
with, is that I see more people
than I have for awhile and that is great!
There is a bit more time to blog too.
Happy Anniversary Country Dreaming
we will keep going for as long as we can!
Thanks to all of YOU, my blog friends
who still pop in for a visit, I am always
happy to see you!
Enjoy your weekend and stay safe.

Hello!
What shouts "SUMMER" best
S'MORES does!!
I saw this on the cover of the latest
Country Living.
This S'mores Charcuterie Plate steps
it up a notch. Great for large parties
or family get togethers plus
it gives some "non traditional"
choices to those who are daring. :)
I'll list what I can see :
Marshmallows
Variety of cookies
Graham Crackers
Bananas
Chocolate bars
Peanut butter?
Would you add anything?
I am old school with these grahams,
marshmallows and chocolate .
Marshmallows must be slightly roasted.
Don't like the burned ones.
On the 4th Mr. Ken and I had them
since our fire pit was going.
They were DEEEEElicious.
Happy S'moring.
