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).

An Enchanted Garden Party

Welcome to my post! To visit other participants, please head over to the Practical Magic Blog Party 2010 blog. I must say that while I think Practical Magic the movie is adorable, I think the novel is incredible. And that is where I gleaned my inspiration from for these festivities. Gardens are mysterious, magical and enchanting, don't you think? Now follow me out into the garden, I have everything all ready for you, including music! (Turn your volume on). *Update: Music has reverted to my regular Fall soundtrack, 9/28/2010* For all of you non Practical Magic Blog Party folks, head on over to NJ Through My Eyes where I've posted 2 new slide-shows today; one is a preview of a new project I'm working on!

2009 Halloween Fete! (Saturday October 17, 2009) **UPDATED!** This shindig is still going strong!

Welcome! I'm so happy to have had so many visitors already! I must apologize for not being ready for you earlier! I also apologize for the wacky font sizes throughout my post. No matter how hard I try, I can't correct them. If music doesn't begin playing shortly after your arrival, scroll down until you see a purple music widget begin to load in the left hand column and wait until you hear the music before scrolling back up here. Happy Halloween Fete 2009! Love and Spookiness to All! ~Jo (Continue scrolling down until the end of the post) Outside, it's a gloomy & cold day here on the NJ coast. Many a restless Spirit wander here on days like this. One can never be too sure if the fog & mist are just as they seem. Inside, it is warm yet equally frightful! Creepy crawlies have gotten into the food & drink, I so hope you don't mind! What with all of the party hopping we're doing, I didn't want you to bust a gut, so I've laid out some Pumpkin Cook...

(Though it didn't post at 12:01am like it was supposed to). Anyhoo, I'm home and resting (uncomfortably). Surgery went well, my kidney tube and stone are gone! I have an internal stent on the left hand side but I'm okay with that because it comes out in the doctor's office in 2-3 weeks (no back to the hospital) and especially because it meant they could take that nephrostomy tube out! (The last nearly 2 weeks of that 15 weeks was rough with that thing, my body was simultaneously trying to heal aroun...
