Hello, and happy Friday!
Reunited and it feels so good! This week, we made our way to the University of Oregon to pick up our baby girl who is home for the summer, and it is SOOO good to have her back. It will be a short stint before we’re moving her again to a new school, but I’ll take however many minutes I can with her! On the way, we stopped to see some blogging friends who have opened their homes to us many times over the years. The blogging community is so generous. Naturally, there was dinner, and it was delicious! Barbecued salmon, grilled shrimp, caprese orzo pasta salad (in Sandy’s big bowl, of course), Lori’s triple berry salad, and Erin’s ricotta strawberry cake to top it all off. Being treated so well made us never want to leave, but baby girl beckoned, and so hit the road and were on our way :).

My husband can’t stop raving about the smell of this soap.
He also smelled a sample of this perfume and then proceeded to made his own samples to put in his truck. I told him I wore it for about a year, and he never commented on it when I did. I guess I didn’t smell as good as his truck .:)
