Homemade peach ice cream sounds lovely!

My sister-in-law picked me up some peaches at the store Friday, but they’re not very good. Fresh Georgia peaches are the best!

I will be having some strawberries and ice cream later. (My “lunchtime” will be around 1 or 2 am today.) ;)

Going to roast a chicken, too. Delicious, little labor involved food.

I was just at the doctor a couple of weeks ago. The same ole, same ole stuff is (duh!) about the same; good news was that the blood tests revealed only good stuff (no diabetes, good cholesterol levels, no thyroid problems, etc.). Sometimes life gives us challenges where we only recognize the symptoms and can’t figure out the cause.

I’ll have to see if I can track down some Ohio peaches.

The ones I have now are from the supermarket: They look pretty on the outside, but they’re pithy on the inside. Probably grown in China. ;)

I showed that one to Mr.LUV. He was amazed that it just
looked like the people should be moving. He wondered why
it isn’t pixellated (sp?).

I guess tinypics does a good job!...so does my BB!

Fredricksburg is a lovely town.

Best suited to vinyards I would say.
They have wonderful flower fields as well there. Tons of lavender

My 6 mega-pixel camera does a fair job.

The operator of it is not as smart as it is tho...

They really are known for their peaches. Try them sometime!

FRESH ones off the back of a truck straight from F-burg!

I can see it being wine country.

Didn’t know about the lavender.

It’s been awhile since I tackled a lobster. If I were going to make fresh lobster, I’d want to do it when my nephew can be here to help. (He’s the only other one in the family with “fresh lobster experience.” Lobster isn’t very common here on the west coast of Ohio.) He’s back in college this week, so getting him here will be difficult to coordinate.

I’ll just drool until it can become a reality. ;)

The lobster and lobster rolls and chowder and other stuff you guys had in Maine sure sounded good!

I’ll bet they’re not nearly as sweet as the Maine blueberries from a little lady on the side of the road!
