The End of an Amazing Life, and the Beginning of a New One Together

On August 5th, my Father passed away.  Although he hadn't been well for some time, it was still unexpected, and a shock.  

My parents on July 24th, their 63rd Anniversary.


We have all been lucky enough to have spent a lot of time with him, and we will treasure those memories.  We miss him so much.


Just a short two weeks later, on Saturday August 20th, we were fortunate to be able to celebrate a happy occasion - the wedding of son Steven and new daughter in law, Audra!

The ceremony took place on Assateague Island National Seashore, and was absolutely beautiful.  Best wishes to the Bride and Groom for years of happiness!


So as you can see, August has been a month of sadness, and joy.  I will be back to regular blogging soon.

This Makes Me Hap-pea!

I've been reading Sarah's blog since the beginning, back when she was lovin' her tummy.  If you're a long time reader too, you'll know what I mean!  Anyway, she is super funny, has the cutest girls ever and I love her so much even if I've never met her (stalker much?) and even though she hates cats (gasp!).
I'm especially happy because she's written her first cookbook (which will cut down a little on the crazy recipe printing I do from her blog) and I just got my copy.  Yay!  I plan to read it cover to cover, then choose my first recipe to try.  I can't wait!
I've been telling you and telling you to read her blog, now go do it!  You can thank me later!
