Just Fun

Summer is technically over here in Northwest Arkansas. However, now that we're in the middle of some cooler temperatures and rain, I can reflect on our summer.

An amazing visit to St. Pete Beach, Florida. No oil here!

The Isis Hotel. Our room was directly on the beach. We only stayed one night for our anniversary. We'll be back for a longer stay.

The ducks that live on the pond behind my mom and dad-in law's house. They were ready to be fed every morning. It was a good summer. We had some short trips, long trips, busy weeks, as well as lazy days at home. What more can I ask for? It was just fun. Hope your summer was too. Until next time...

Passion for Picnics

I'm soooo excited! It's time for picnics, one of my favorite summer distractions and I found this great picnic backpack for $3. at a garage sale. Ok, so I was supposed to be at home having my own garage sale (it was our neighborhood sale) but I couldn't resist a quick scan of the neighbor's offerings! My sister showed up and busted me. I couldn't believe that she was hobbling out of her car with a brace on her leg, wagging her finger at me. She was really just upset that I had beat her to it! Anyway, I scored this brand new picnic set, an amazing Mosaic table and chairs for my deck, a fabulous, huge, black and white basket and some other fun stuff! Well my son and I had to have a picnic right away. Guess what? Even PB&J tasted better with our elegant setting! We gave the leftovers to the chickens (the girls) and they loved them. I used a bottle with a cork in it and made my own lemonade to put in the section that was supposed to be for a bottle of wine. Fun stuff and inexpensive entertainment! Give me some feedback and tell me about your favorite picnic memories! Tanya :)
