Bridal Shower!

We hosted a bridal shower brunch for Chris’ cousin Lindsey this morning.  Thanks to Pam, Cori, Chris & Jim for making it a success!

I made this breakfast cheese plate.  Really happy with the result

They Love Each Other ❤️

Praying Mantis

Look what I found when I was clearing out and sprucing up the front flower bed!  Erica & Zoey have never seen one in real life before.  Chris is pretty sure he hasn’t seen one before.

They eat Japanese Beatles, so party on!

A Moofy!

I think they call a Moose Selfie a Moofy.  I’m in Vail for meetings for a couple days.

Morning Market Walk

There’s a little Saturday market about a mile from the house that we checked out for the first time this morning.

Aguas Frescas:

Backyard Cherry Pie

We enjoyed with friends last night.  

Backyard Hodge Podge Dinner

Tomatoes & basil (caprese salad)  jalapeños (poppers), & cherries from the backyard.

Double Decker Watergate Cake

Happy Birthday Bob!

Here’s the recipe.  We made double and the cakes were baked in a springform pan and then stacked.

First Big Haul

We picked cherries tonight!  It was the first real harvest we’ve had.

Our tree looks more like a cherry bush!

Happy 4th!

We have been organizing and doing a major purge at the McCasa this holiday weekend.  We snuck out to one of our favorite spots for some good food and beer.  

Lobstah Roll

It’s what’s for dinner!

In Full Color!

The yard is showing off right now. 😃

There are Japanese Beetle sightings in the neighborhood.  They haven’t hit our yard.  Yet.
