Summer’s “ending”

Summer was officially over in our house this morning with school starting.  BUT, for most of the valley, you are lucky enough to still have a week to go!  We spent the last several days doing fun stuff with the kids including camping and the fair to say “farewell” to long lazy days.  If you’re thinking [...]

Soul Food!

Made it down to the Soul Food Extravaganza today (Saturday August 2) and it was worth the trip.  Walking through the Rose Garden, the smells from the food booths, took me back to our days in Georgia… 
Ate well, and am now just trying to digest it all.  Fantastic music, delicious food, and several booths and exhibits.  [...]
