    Today was his birthday…

      Life Lessons You may have thought I didn’t see, Or that I hadn’t heard, Life lessons that you taught to me, But I got every word. Perhaps you thought I missed it all, And that we’d grow apart, But Dad, I picked up everything, It’s written on my heart. Without you, Dad, I wouldn’t be The woman I am today; You built a strong foundation No one can take away. I’ve grown up with your values, And I’m very glad I did; So here’s to you, dear father, From your forever grateful kid. By Joanna Fuchs Happy Birthday Dad….I hope your day was an amazing one….I love you!  ♥

    My Sweet Girl

    Outside My Window ~ 7.4.10

    July 4, 2010 /

    Outside My Window…is a very warm, sunny day.  Perfect day for the beach….for outdoor fun…..for grilling goodness.  🙂  It is a fairly warm 87ºF at the moment, but the humidity is relatively low so this makes it a tolerable day.  There is no forecast for rain….for days in fact.  We could actually use some but I’m sure the people with outdoor plans are delighted it is holding off today. From the kitchen…today will be more about preparing dinner for tomorrow evening.  We are celebrating my step-father and sisters birthdays…which fall July 5th and 6th respectively.  I’m creating this chicken recipe ~ it is a favorite of my sisters…my mother is preparing ribs…
