This is one of the things which has made America great: Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door! Happy Independence Day!
Menu Monday ~ July 2, 2012
Click here for more menu ideas! I want to start putting up some summer produce so my plan the next couple of weeks is to make an effort to use things from the freezer. I need room for corn on the cob! Monday: lasagna roll-ups (using spaghetti sauce from freezer) salad green beans (from freezer)…
Homemade bleu cheese dressing
Update: I have since found a better recipe. Here is the link. Ever since I can remember I’ve loved a good bleu cheese salad dressing. Or roquefort, but you don’t seem to see that as much anymore. There are several good commercial brands available but I decided to try to make my own. I found…
Yo ho ho!
That lavender bandana he’s been wearing was just a wee bit girly but thanks to Tori at Torizworld, Shiloh now sports this awesome new one. Her dog, Kero, got one for his birthday recently and when I asked where she bought it she kindly offered to send one to Shiloh. Wasn’t that sweet? Now I will…

Movie Night at the Park
Last night David and I attended the first movie night in our local park. I took these two pictures when we first got there but I would guess there were a couple of hundred people by the time the movie started at dusk. A friend who works for the city came up with this idea…
