Summertime

We had friends over last night for paninis.

Do you panini?

Seriously. Summer is all about paninis here. Yum.

Panini and parfaits.

We sure had fun and were out on the deck with the twinkle lights until 10:30 talking and laughing and picking through the fruity leftovers...

Love summertime.

    Raspberies, I'm inmpressed. Did you just come into sudden MONEY - they are so expensive fo far this year. We lost all our raspberry jelly during the storm when our freezer thawed everything so I have been looking at them but sort of waiting until I can get them at a roadside thingy a little cheaper. By the way, my blueberries are REALLY LATE this year. I can always remember when they usually are ripe because everyone that was here for your wedding was eating them. Not this year! They are just little green clumps so far.

Getting to know you Wednesday

So it's been awhile. But I thought hearing from ya'll might cheer up my little snow encrusted Spokane self. So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around. I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends. And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well. I didn't tear up - or need tissue for any fluids defiantly leaking from my facial orifices... until I made the a...
