Farewell, Summer

Farewell, Summer

Wow.
It's hard to believe that the last time I posted, it was May.
My intention was to take -{2 weeks}- off so we could celebrate three milestone Birthdays and then be back here with some new Recipes.

Boy, was I ever mistaken.

After the first of the  Birthday Parties, we had a Camping Trip over Father's Day, the second Birthday Party and then Family Reunion--Mt. Hermon--Friends & Family from out of state--Woodshop Days--Funerals--Mammoth Trip--First Day of School.

It all starts to run together and become a big blur.

I was certain that the first week of school would be slower but not so, and for a wonderful reason:  J & D proclaimed their Faith in Jesus Christ and asked for Baptism!  Wonderful Rejoicing!

And so, here are a few snapshots of the Summer (I promise not to bore you).
And the following post WILL be back to normal!

Blessings to each of you,
Carolyn  

Poor Guys.

Not only did they have to Grill the Carne Asada for their Birthday Dinner,

they had to make their own Cakes.

J made a  Raspberry Swirl Cheesecake &

D made a Vanilla Caramel Latte Cake
