Oh my goodness, 65. I have a hard time processing that. 

Went to lunch with some of my favorite peeps. 

Amerigos is our fave birthday spot. 

Yum yum. 

How do they make Pasta Pomodoro so good? Not pictured Tiramisu. 

Girls.

Simple fare today. Picked up Chicken Salad Chick. 

Preparing for beach. Turned out perfect and shiny. Can’t wait to get there.

Mushrooms and mosquitoes

With all this rain and soaring temps and humidity I knew there were bound to be mushrooms in the backyard.  

So I sallied forth (what a weird saying, look it up Mom) but was nearly knocked over by the heat and humidity as I opened the door. 

But I persevered for my fungi fans. 

Even though I put on bug spray, I got a bite on each appendage. These look just like biscuits. 

This one made me gasp. It was the size large coffee mug. And my favorite color. 

Look at his cute gills. 

This poor baby was someone’s breakfast. 

Very cute. 

My fellow hunters. They gave no argument when I headed inside. 

My girl and I. 

Margaret sent me this picture of “Candy’s” rose blooming. I miss her so much. 

I was pretty proud of this one. 

Last minute request for pool party. 

Love this scene. ALL my babies in one room. 

Gathered to celebrate Father’s Day. 

Look at all the good food Ryan and MG made. He needs to work on his biscuit skills before opening a biscuit restaurant. 

But look at that steak and sausage gravy. 

I was good though. 

Everybody got a laugh out of his card. He is still talking about the thermostat in this picture 🙄. 

One last shout out to me. Salmon salad. 

Having fun with Sophie thinking about beach food. 

Ready for new Book Club. Took hardly any pictures. 

Had plenty to eat and drink and plenty to talk about. Had 11 people. Discussed Remarkably Bright Creatures . Everyone loved it. It was interesting how many different takes we all had on it. 

Fun visit with Anna and Margaret. Lucky was cute as ever. 

Hello little one. 

Got our new fridge and stove. So much tape!!

Love it though. 

Grilled dinner. 

It was yum.
