I love sitting out on our deck on a sultry summer night. One of the best parts of summer. Soon.

What is it Nicole? Picture is a bit too dark for me to see.

Granddaughter at the zoo. She was with DH and only grandpa would allow a jacket to be removed on a winter day!

caseynfld....She's huge compared to him. Her head is black and her beak is greyish. Maybe an American Black Duck hybrid? ? ? and instead of living on the East coast she's visiting her boyfriend in the Midwest?

Marcy, your granddaughter did a fine job on those cookies. Whats not to love with that kind of help at cookie making time.

Tall building on the Chao Phraya in Bangkok that looks sort of like a lighthouse. :-)

Thanks Igmd! I keep a roll of Pillsbury in the fridge for unexpected cookie decorating requests! They tasted really good, but boy was the table a mess! LOL!

DawninCa- Sometime I would love to hear all about Thailand! My daughter hopes someday to travel from the top to the bottom of Thailand.

I stopped at the Washita national historic battle field on my way home on Tuesday.

Thank you, Sabbath!

The best way for me to tell you about Thailand is to direct you to my blog. The travel entries are down the right hand side of the main page. I hope it is ok for me to post this link here: Jewelry Art by Dawn

Thailand is an amazing country with much to see and experience. We've been there twice and are planning to go back again this winter. I hope your daughter achieves her dream of going there. If you (or she) have any questions about Thailand, let me know and I'll do my best to answer!

I can't wait to read your blog! Thanks so much :)

my pleasure, sabbath! Hope you enjoy the read.

Marcy, those cookies are the stuff memories are made of.

Yes, the cookie photo would make a great card or framed photo to give to her later in life. Very sweet.

A peek through the orchard gate.

Schoolhouse, what a great idea! I have another with her sitting right behind the pan of cookies!
