Summer Days

What have we been up to this summer?

Aunt Rose and I took a trip out to our dear

friends home in Lewisburg PA

The drive on Route 80 is pretty

Here we are with our friends

And this is sweet Hastings

He reminds me of my Judah 

Precious boy !

This is my childhood friend Lydie

She was visiting from Florida 

It was great to see her

Friends since 8 years old

Then hubby and I decided to take a trip to NY 

to see a couple of dams in local parks  

This is Croton Dam - West Chester NY

You can hear the water gushing out

as soon as you open the car door

so powerful

Beautiful rainbow from the sun and water

Then we headed off to another dam

Kensico Dam Its Huge ! North White Plains NY

They have a 911 memorial for local folks who died that

terrible day. 

Taken from WTC Tower

And this was so moving

Walkway of military men and women

who have died since 911 fighting

terrorism

Weeping Willow trees 

so appropriate. 

We stopped at one of our favorite

burger joints

Piper's Kilt 

Hubbies burger

I'm determined to eat healthy with small changes

Burger no bun and salad no fries

I decided to try 23 & Me to find my ancestry

Here we go !

British - mother's side

Solvakian - Fathers side

There is a great café in Monmouth Beach they do Friday night

dinners.  You have to make reservations because it is popular.

Friday is the only night they do dinners.

Hubby and I decided to go last Friday

The food was absolutely amazing

Here is my soup

Cream of Zucchini topped with sun-dried tomato pesto

and served with griddled biscuits with herbed butter

 - so different and so delicious

Hubbys dinner

Wicked Good Baby Back ribs served with sweet potato fries, 

griddled corn on the cob, and Asian coleslaw

My pretty healthy dinner - Grilled Eggplant Steak topped with 

hummus and roasted Jersey tomatoes served with 

zucchini noodles in a pesto sauce topped with  

vegan parmesan cheese - this was also delicious

Peach Cobbler -  tasty and not sweet   

We both had the same and enjoyed it.

I asked hubby to take the beach route home

Sea Bright NJ   Ocean Wall

Sun setting at the Jersey Shore

Hubby and I went to see
Christopher Robin

Such a fun movie - it didn't disappoint

This guys birthday is today  8/05

Miss my little Solomon westie boy

This boy is keeping me busy being a fur baby Mom
