Annual Wednesday Night Concerts on the Beach...

Have begun once again! Last two weeks were cancelled because of the weather. It has been and is a GLORIOUS day! As close to perfect weather as you can get. Sunny, cotton ball clouds, nice breeze, no humidity and temps not too hot & not too chilly. I had the windows & doors open all day. A bit of heaven on earth.

I made a kick ass pasta salad, the best pasta salad I've ever made to go with left over fried chicken for dinner here on the beach. We've got some beers. I've got "The Unlikely Lavender Queen" to read and I've got a hot pretzel. I'm with Vic & a friend is stopping by. Life is good at the moment!

That sounds like a glorious evening!
teri, I had that pretzel and enjoyed every bite! There's nothing on the Jersey Shore like Sandy Hook - that's it for me!

Lisa, it was simply amazing! We stayed until past dark and got to watch a huge orange red moon rise! It's one of my favorite places on earth!

You're seriously going to make us ask for that pasta salad recipe?! :) Sounds like the perfect evening to me. Savor!
Lizzi, I think it was the best time I've had yet at these concerts!

I'm really bummed that my sd memory card with a bunch a pics on it from last night isn't working in the computer so I've got to find another way to get them off the card so I can make an album. There are some amazing pics on there!

Lol Tera! I totally just wiped it up. I used cold mini pasta bow ties, chopped green olives, chopped cukes, diced red onions, chopped mushrooms, diced peppers (red, green, yellow, orange), crunched up bacon (12 slices)halves cherry tomato's, halved small mozz. cheese balls, diced roasted red peppers, a few healthy sprinklings of shredded parm. cheese well tossed/blended with a dressing of red wine vinegar, a couple of cap fulls of balsamic vinegar, a cap full of extra virgin olive oil, 2 tables spoons spicy brown mustard, garlic, pepper, parsley flakes & basil flakes and a generous helping of grated parm. cheese.

Wish I lived closer to the shore to enjoy that. It sounds like so much fun!!
I look forward to it. It's just a nice evening out at the beach at one of my fave places in the world (and I feel the most beautiful spot at the Jersey Shore along with Cape May and Tuckerton).

2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party 2011 is Here! *Updated*

It's time for the 2nd Annual Practical Magic Blog Party created & hosted by the wonderful Anna of Frosted Petunias ! My sincerest apologies for getting this up rather late! The adventure that is post Hurricane Irene cleanup & repairs has been taking up too much time recently. (sigh) Things are a mess; I only started decorating for Autumn yesterday and I'm missing Halloween decorations! Luckily my broom is always safe and sound by the front door so at least I don't have to wonder where it is. (Not that it hasn't been known to scamper off now and again - naughty broom). I was afraid, quite honestly, that I wouldn't even get a post up sometime today! I kept hitting dead ends with every other one I tried. But, this morning I sat here at the computer and it flowed. Thankfully! I would have been so disappointed if I'd missed this, it was such fun last year! As some may remember from last years party, while I like the movie, (and love that house!), I love the...

The Time Is Upon Us Once Again!

Welcome Friends! It's time once again for A Fanciful Twist Halloween Party ! Warmest thanks to the lovely Vanessa for hosting again this year. My apologies for not having this up sooner, I've been dreadfully under the weather and my helpers have been more of a hindrance! My lovely kitchen witch Helvetica has given up time off and has been cooking & baking away since last night but the skeletons have been eating everything in sight (damn their bottomless stomachs!) though they won't fess up and the invisible man has been raving on and on every time the door bell rings! I do hope you'll enjoy your visit to Pumpkin Manor and have a Happy Halloween ! I look forward to your return.

11:14pm (3/16/09) Watching a documentary Tennessee is so beautiful Head & nose all stuffy Out of ZyrtekD - sigh Want to read but distracted by my clogged head Hubby's snoring a little, restless a lot I worry about him He's so tired, works so much Doesn't get to do what he enjoys often enough (If at all) He willingly took my burdens & made them his own I'm still not used to being taken care of Makes me uncomfortable, guilty I took care of things for so many years Are 2 persons "stuff" too much for 1 person? Even a good, strong man? I know what it is to do more than my "fair share" Though the situation was completely different Is the end result the same?
