A Garden Poem

If you decided to try having a garden this summer, I hope you are beginning to reap the harvest.
We have enjoyed blackberries, raspberries and many herbs.

The following poem is one of my favorites from childhood. I hope it brings back fond memories for you too!

MISTRESS MARY

Mistress Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With cockleshells, and silver bells,
And pretty maids all in a row.

by Mother Goose

Banana Split

On Sunday we had some friends and family come over to watch the World Cup Soccer Final. The game was very exciting but I think the think the part of the afternoon everyone enjoyed the most were the banana splits we served. My husband Rockin Ray came up with the idea and they were a great summer treat.

Here is the recipe:

1 banana sliced in half the long way
Put three scoops of ice cream down the center of the banana slices ( using three different flavors taste great)
Spoon three tablespoons of chocolate syrup over the ice cream
Top with whipped cream and a tablespoon of nuts

Birthday Girl

Happy Birthday Tiney!



Today is my daughter's birthday. She is in graduate school and works a full-time job.

Tiney was home over the weekend and we celebrated with friends and family.



The birthday cake just had to have pink flowers!
