Toffee Butter Brickle Ice Cream – a perfect way to celebrate almost anything. This year it was the star of the ice cream spread on Independence Day. Every July 4, sister Bee and family host a Big Bash. Family, friends, neighbors start trooping up the drive in early evening laden with food and drinks. Pete has a pile of things for the grill and plenty of fireworks on hand. Then a friend roars up with another pickup load in his specially made fireworks launcher. The neighbor across the street is in competition with them both. After potluck dinner, they will be lighting up the sky for hours. Until 11:55. Everything comes to a halt, brooms and containers roll out of the garage and everything is cleaned spick and span before midnight. It is truly a festival! Somewhere in the ... [Read More]
Busy Monday 429
Zoom has been a big feature of the week. Watched church service last Sunday. Later, we visited with Nate the Great and his mommy who were in quarantine. Had a visit with a doctor. Attended a service club weekly meeting where some folks are in person and others attended virtually. Saturday morning we attended a virtual regional convention of the service club. Love the commute in each case - to my office chair and click! Would rather be in person - miss those hugs, handshakes and hellos. But virtual has its advantages and, it seems to me, that it is here to stay when we find "normal" again. What do you think? Thanks for virtually sharing your awesome posts!

Busy Monday 428
I spent quite a bit of time the past two weeks making face masks (Posts to come!) for teachers and students in anticipation of back to school requirements -- just in case schools can actually open. Back to school has always been a mark of time passing, although it seems to come earlier in August every year. And then I saw the posts linked last week about Christmas!! I love Christmas so no problems for me in planning ahead! But time does indeed fly!! May your time be full, fruitful and fun this week!

Peach Cobbler Overnight Oats
Quick and simple to make. One batch = 8 breakfasts. Easy to grab from the refrigerator. You can just as easily take it with you to eat later. A super delicious nutritional powerhouse. What could be better for breakfast than Peach Cobbler Overnight Oatmeal? Chia seeds are relatively new in our pantry. I was surprised to learn they are in the mint family as the seed of Salvia hispanica, found in Mexico and Guatemala. They were a staple of Mayan and Aztec diets, so they’ve been eaten for a long time! The tiny black and white seeds can expand to hold about 10 times their weight in liquid. They also contain all nine essential amino acids, which are the muscle-building protein building blocks our bodies need but we get them only through our food. Chia seeds provide antioxidants, ...
