Oh my! I think I just gained another pound just reading the recipe for the Lemonade Pie. I sounds sooooooo good! I just copied it so we can try it. Thanks! :o)
Can *fully understand* this, as I lived for 2 1/2 years in Rochester, NY - -
and know well 'The Lake Effect' of that whole region....
Side Note:
As a native Floridian, the very first snow I ever saw was at age 19 in Rochester.
Little did I know I later was to heavily *experience* it in Rapid City, South Dakota for a "warm-up" - -
to spending 3 1/2 years in Fairbanks, Alaska where it *really, really* got deep,
and did not have the grace go away until late MAY!!
Happy to Hunker Down in Lovely Moderate Dixie --

Awwwww, come on and take him with you to visit his cousin Elizabeth! He will loooooove the plane ride!! Where is your sense of adventure???
Ohhh.. thanks for delightful pix.. I think I am going to use one. fix it up a little.... hmmmmm of course my schedule is not too good for lots of photo editing.. I need to get Oliver out for at least 45 min of running etc..and going to see movie Howl;s Moving Castle tonight & dinner out with friend. His movie boundaries are much tighter than mine.. I can see most anything, but his list of stars and movie types that are "nos" limit us a bit. I have found my different friend each have differnt tastes in movies so it all works out
Maggie, you have lived so many different places and done many exciting things. Have you chronicled a lot of them (other than this type of posting)? I keep thinking I need to start archiving my events etc. Not sure anyone will be interested in years ahead, but never know. I surely wish my grandparents & great grandparents had kept a diary or journaled..
Yeah, but would I? LOL. I think not. I bet Marissa would love it though.
Where is your sense of adventure???
I think it is where my "get up and go" went. LOL.
Have a great weekend! : )
Excellent message. Following Jesus is the way to joy.
Memory Lane there. I lived in San Fran-sicko in the early '70s, used to take the ferry over to Sausalito and Tiburon. Great shopping in Sausalito, food in Tiburon and then there's the hike up Mt. Tamalpais. Pleasant memories.
I wish I was in Dixie!!!
Because of the mess, stress and maddness of our move, this is all I can manage for the 4th and I doubled the recipe. Straight from Kraft...lol.

Oooh, aaahhh. Yeah, I remember visiting peeps on a houseboat too. More good memories. The days of wine and roses.
Heh, I am living them now. Roses right out the window, about 50 wineries within 10 miles...
Hey ... Marissa and I think you should bring Chiaca (sp) along. Marissa, Elizbeth and I would help you spoil him.
:)
We'll get you guys to a good DC visit yet. I just hope this thread does justice to the pair of you, and all the rest who have served the nation to keep July 4 Glorious.
Great to hear from you!
Glad to see folks enjoying your work, Dolly & Billie. MEG33, thanks for checking in, and for that link. Molly, it's sure nice to see your name. Greetings to you, and please say hello to our friends at ATRW.
Things got off to a good Independence Day bang today when some dubiously-documented twit with next to no insurance ran a red at 50mph and threw a Ford Explorer onto the front of my g*-friend's Lexus. No one was hurt, thankfully, although it was inches from truly ugly. Kinda upset the day's momentum. BUT, my daughter flew in this evening from Miami after finishing a summer program, and we're all together for the rest of the summer. Ain't no Undocumented Whatever in a now-smashed Honda gonna ruin a Glorious Fourth, or a Summer in Maine that starts next week. Yeah!
Fourth of July in our small town up in Maine is wonderful: I'd like to say its the true stuff of apple pie, because it is, but it's so much more. They launch fireworks from an extended dock into the lake, and the guy who has to set the rockets, light the fuse, then sprint away to safety puts on more of a show than the fireworks themselves! It's too funny. This year, though, we're staying at the Harbor in Baltimore. I'm hoping we'll be able to see Ft. McHenry and its repro Old Glory from the hotel, and through the Inner Harbor fireworks.
Happy Fourth to all!
I'm sure of that! We are doing a pretty good job of spoiling him as it is. :-)
