Like a good Neighbor..........

Yesterday we had a big storm blow thru. It took down quite a few trees and their branches. I just wanted to share a few snapshots of some of the mess around here........The gentleman driving this car  will definately be gettin a new one, fortunately no one was in the back seat, and he was alright.........

We can rest easy now , the storm is gone........so much yard clean up to do though.......

Outta the Picnic Basket

Hi all , i sincerely hope everyone is having a good weekend. Hoping to add to ur outdoor picnic fun, im sharing a fun, summer recipe. It's the kickoff of a new idea........ Ile feature an "Otta the Picnic Basket" recipe every Sunday....This one's not my brainchild, however , i believe ive tweeked just alil bit for the better.........Im making two today, since ill be visiting my sister later..... 

Its absolutely delishous and quite refreshing on a summer day......start with a few simple ingredients, like yogart, coolwhip, instant pudding, canned crushed pineapple, a bakery angelfood cake, and 1lb of fresh strawberries. For all the calorie watchers, yogart, coolwhip, pudding, and even the angelfood, can all be substituted with sugar-free.......

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yougart, pineapple, pudding, and coolwhip. Stir the heck out of it til its mixed really well.

Next in a large dessert bowl(this is a pretty dessert, lol, so use a pretty bowl) start ur first layer with cubed angelfood cake and sliced strawberries, then add a layer of the creamy mixture, keep doing this til the bowl is filled or ya run outta ingredients, lol.

Chill it for a couple hrs. , then serve on some really pretty plates... for a "grown up" variation of the recipe, lightly soak the angelfood cake for just a few minutes, in dark rum. Easy to do with a cookie sheet...........ENJOY and dont forget to stop by next Sunday, for another simple summer recipe thats right "Outta the Picnic Basket"!

Romantic bedroom

Ive been grappling(is that really a word?) with the idea of wheather i should post the progress on the bedroom or not......since uve all been constantly emailing (not really , but it sounds good , right, lol) with requests to see some photos of the progress, which we are almost done, with just a few minor things to complete. Please bear in mind that the upholstered headboard isnt done yet. I 'll post it when it is, hopefully not too much longer.......

The white duvet cover goes with everything....

The nightstands and a few accessories........
