On Monday, the 9th of August, my Granny turned 95. We celebrated a day early, with cake, other sweet treats, and lots of family. She is an amazing woman, and is as graceful and gentle as they come. I love you, Granny, and happy birthday. Many more to come! <3

On Saturday night we hosted a dinner party featuring homemade pizza, accompanied by caesar salad, and a tasty pecan pie trifle flanked by fresh chocolate covered strawberries. It was YUM-O! We enjoyed our company & conversation. Thanks to all who joined us! : – )

all two weeks of it! Yes, summer semester is over as of tonight’s Biology final (whoo!) and yes, it nearly ran right into fall semester. However, I plan to squeeze plenty of relaxation & pool time into the few days I have. Best of all, I am taking a week off work to enjoy my [...]

This little birdie has made our front porch her home while she starts a family. It’s impossible to get a picture of the baby birds since they go into hiding with the slightest bit of movement or noise, but you can see the mama bird guarding her nest here. She’s been watching our every move [...]

Lots to catch up on…new posts coming soon. Should be a bit more regular, now that I am OUT OF SCHOOL for a month! Wheee! I even have a week off work coming up soon that will be properly celebrated with some beach time. Freedom is sweet. : – )
