I'm not sure why I want one of these so BAD...but I do!

Happy Father's Day, DAD!

My Dad is so wonderful - thoughtful and helpful and brave and resourceful. He is uncomplicated and clever. He also chews his chips in the rhythm of Jingle Bells. No lie. I love him.

Might need one...

Fun...in the sun or the shade...

Just in case you need some summer activities that are indoor - head over to Orisinal and play their many fun, beautiful, not at all annoying games. I love them. They are so pretty and the music is great. Choosing which game to play may be the worst part about them...

So very clever...

So - you just need to head over - I can't do it justice at all. Just go to Twig and Thistle . Now.

Which do YOU prefer?

When faced with the following options, my choices are in bold...and italics. Just in case you couldn't tell by the bold. I just like to be thorough. You know me.

Chocolate or raisins

Ketchup or mustard

Blue or green

Purple or yellow

Dogs or cats

Manta rays or sea horses

Cows or horses

Drums or guitars

Flutes or trombones

Crayons or markers

Batman or Superman

Climbing up or sliding down

Baths or showers

Shouting or whispering

Quarter or penny

I know this isn't terribly entertaining or exciting. But I needed to post something. I'm not apologizing here, I'm just saying...

It was a perfect day...

The After Party

Grandma and Grandpa go through the line of the lovely luncheon

The theme of the luncheon was Circles.
One eternal round...round flowers, round food, round accents.

So many friends and family

Sandwiches on rolls, pasta salads - and my favorite - Tracy's Caprese

Lemon Blossoms - a big hit
