I am so happy to have so many lovely friends and I love sharing that with my readers. Blogging is really a great way to communicate while your planning a wedding, raising children, or looking for something to cook your husband! Perhaps tomorrow I will share with you a few of my favorite blogs for each of those topics! PS at the end of Aug or the start of Sept I will be getting to meet one of my favorite blogger friends...Casie from Casie Photographics!! I'm so thrilled and excited! She is from Florida and she will be up in the NJ/NY area...hmm perhaps I will be able to meet another NY favorite blogger on the same day...NAN what are you doing?!

Have you ever met a blogger friend, were you excited, nervous, both?! Tell me about your experience!

WOO HOO!!

My beautiful step-daughter passed the test and got her learner's permit!!! She was so nervous about taking the test and she got it on her first try!! Congrats sweety! We took her for a little lesson and she did pretty well! I'm nervous and excited at the same time! But I know she'll do great because my husband is a great teacher, plus he's a professional driver! HEHE!

So I never got around to posting those peonies....here are some photos!

Love them!

Stunning pink color!

Too bad these beauties don't last very long!

We actually had two bushes!

Look at this beautiful woodpecker!

Wondering what these are! My stepdaughters made these for Father's Day!
