Good -Bye Summer...

We had a wonderful time



And we will miss you



Very, very Much!



Until Next year...peace out!

Georgia Peaches

Although peaches have been out for several weeks now, this is the 1st peach crisp that I have managed to make. Usually the peaches sit on the counter and are picked off one by one and eaten before I can make it into one of my very favorite desserts. Casey brought these peaches home especially for me(because I like the fuzzy kind), and I told everyone to stay out! Thankfully we didn't have to wait long for them to ripen(1 day), and we were able to enjoy one of my favorite childhood desserts.



Some recipes call for oatmeal in the topping. I'm really not a fan. Maybe it's because I grew up eating it without the oatmeal, so I leave it out and enjoy the sugary, buttery crispy goodness all by itself. As a child I use to eat the top part off and throw the rest away. When no one was looking, I'd piece it off a little at a time. Now-a-days I eat the entire serving and love every bite!



It didn't last 30 minutes after coming out of the oven. It's super easy and takes less time to make then it does to bake.

Our Family Of Deer

Every year we have deer that come through our yard, but this year they have been coming in really close to the house and will walk through the front yard to cross the street.



I love seeing them. Casey, on the other hand, can see the tick population increase in our yard with each visit.

4th of July

I'm behind and this is out of order, but this seems to be the way my life is going these days, oh well...here are some pictures from our 4th of July.



We spent the day with friends and came home to do our own fireworks with our neighbors. My camera wasn't working all that well, so the pictures aren't the best.





I picked out the fireworks this year and apparently didn't pick out the "cool" pack, so it was a pretty lame display.





We had just returned home from vacation and were still on West Coast time and very tired, but all-in-all it was a good day and we enjoyed spending time with friends. We are continually grateful for those who defend our freedoms each and every day!
