| Picture doesn't capture the beautiful color or how juicy these beets look! Farmer Willie is in full swing... |
I love the long days this time of year. It seemed so fortunate that summer solstice fell on a weekend. Connor and I decided to host a little summer solstice party! As usual, our guest list was huge. We had to cut it down to the essential friends.
 |
| Sweet/Spicy Grilled Chicken, Corn, Grilled Romaine Salads... |
 |
| Guess which piece of pie was Marie's? That's right...and in true Dad-Jr-style, even more was added as I ate. |
The weather actually cooperated and it was a decent temp (probably upper 70's - which is still too cold, but considering we normally top out at 60 something, I was happy) plus the sun is shining this weekend. Sun + a little warmth = Happy Marie. And happy cats...
 |
| So happy I even shared some of my whipped cream (from Mark-bear pancakes with strawberries) with fatboy Lefty. |
 |
| The cats get high with a little help from their friend... Willie the cat whisperer. |
 |
| Passed out. |
 |
| Potatoes from the garden too! And we are getting snap peas and carrots already. |
We want to do a post about our time in Costa Rica...but due to some picture issues, we will have to wait a bit longer... Hopefully soon though. It was definitely worth a 5 year wait.
 |
| Here is one of the beautiful sunsets that we saw on our nearly deserted beach. |
So, to close this post, we would like to make a toast to the lovely Mawtha Sue and Papa Chuck. We are celebrating their 41st anniversary and wishing we could be with them.
 |
| A batch of delicious nectarine mojitos. |
 |
| Cheers to you, Mom and Dad! We love you! |
