Fun Weekend!
Hi All! I hope you enjoyed a wonderful weekend. This weekend was kind of "silly". Saturday night, the three of us - husband, Daughter #1 and I , went out for a casual outdoor dinner. After dinner we wanted to do something "different". We thought about Putt-Putt, but it started raining so we went Bowling. We hadn't been bowling in years! The bowling alley wasn't very crowded and they played good music. We only played three games, but it was fun and each one of us one a game! Daughter #1 was a good sport! She is home after graduating from college and looking for a job - anywhere but here. Not many of her friends are in town this summer, so she is bored with a capital B! I thought of it as a good form of exercise too - throwing a weighted ball (smile).
Have a wonderful Monday!

Lilly Printed Cruiser Is Back!
The print is the Lilly Pink Chum Bucket. Isn't it adorable? This would be such a wonderful addition to your Lilly accessories. Can't you just imagine tooling around the neighborhood or riding it to the Farmer's Market with a wicker basket on the handle bars. Apparently the seat is skirt friendly so that isn't a problem and the pedals are flip-flop friendly! Oh such summer fun! Happy Thursday!

My Little Rescued Dog!
As you can tell from my profile picture and periodic posts - I love our little dog, Berkley!
He has been a member of our family for the last 10 years. I remember so well 10 years ago asking my secretary,"what time I should leave work so that I didn't get caught on the mess that is I-95" (Those of you that live around DC, know what I am referring too!) and thus the story began. I told her how I was on my way to buy a dog ($$$) for my daughter's Christmas present. She told me that was silly and went on to tell me about these adorable puppies that were free in Berkley Springs, WV. (Two of her sisters had just adopted two of the pups and she was getting one the next day). She showed me the pictures and they were even cuter than she said they were. I talked to the woman who had rescued the pups, along with their Mother from underneath a run down home. I drove to Berkley Springs, WV (1.5 hrs) and picked up the puppy the next day. The one I was going for jumped over the baby gate that the rescuer had in place, I thought -"oh no" and turned my attention to the quite one that for some reason was licking, yes licking, the electrical sockets. He came home with me and we ( my daughters and I) feel in love with him. He has really been a blessing to our family. Even since remarrying my husband loves him too. If you are considering a four-legged addition to your family - consider a rescued dog. There are websites where you can look at the dogs online. Most communities offer animal shelters, consider looking there. In some cases taking a rescued dog maybe the difference between life and death. I adopted a rescued dog and I am sure glad I did.

Neat Treat!
Recently, I hosted a neighborhood get together and this delicious treat was a big hit. There was no more standing around the dip or the fear of some double dipping! This creation alleviates it all.
You simply put your dip ( in my case - fat free Ranch dressing) in the bottom of small clear acrylic cups and arrange the celery, carrots, peppers in the cup. This was obviously one of the last things that I prepared on the day of the party. It was truly a big hit with the crowd!
Happy Monday!
