Life Lately
Penny Puppy turned two years old this past week! I felt like a terrible dog mom because I forgot until three days later. I know.
I had it in my brain that it was coming up in a few days, and then… that thought disappeared until after the fact. We had just gotten back from vacation, the grandbabies came to stay, and then a day later we had out-of-town house guests for the weekend.
After everyone was gone and we were getting things back in order, it suddenly hit me!
No worries, though. Penny still got gifts. And a pool party.


And lots of love.



I think she forgives me. 🥰
Happy Birthday, pup.
In Case You Missed It…
We had friends staying with us from out of town over the weekend. (Hi Ron & Michelle 👋🏻!)
It was fun to catch up on stories, families, and fun. I made Creamy Tuscan Chicken with Cherry Tomatoes and Lemon Pie for dessert. They asked for the recipe, so I sent them home with a bag of cherry tomatoes from my garden, too. They sent a picture a few days later, and they’d already made it themselves after they got home!
Here are the recipes in case you want to try them out yourself. This chicken dish is an easy one-pan meal that the whole family will love. It’s perfect for busy back-to-school nights.
