What a beautiful long weekend, the weather is gorgeous. Kicking off the summer with some grilling today. Yesterday I cleaned the garage, and got the grill ready. I feel like today is the official start of summer. Our town has a memorial service, to commemorate this day at one of the memorials in town, including the 21 gun salute, where they use rifles at the ceremony, and end it with the M80 blasts that are shot off just behind our house. See video below, nothing says America like a 21 gun salute!! Hope everyone has a great week, as we head into summer!!

WHAT’S FEEDING MY BOOK ADDICTION:
Still reading the book that I am reviewing. If my time wasn’t so limited, I would of finished it by now, it’s really good.
LOL CHUCKLES, AND GIGGLES:
RECIPE I TRIED/ONE I WANT TO TRY:
OK…so I didn’t actually make this, but I did “try” it, as in eating, and it was delicious!! My mom made a cake using just an Angel Food cake mix and Cherry Pie Filling. You mix the two together, and bake it. Top it with Cool Whip, and it is delicious!! The sweet fruity flavor, along with the light airiness of the Angel Food, topped with Cool Whip is just really refreshing, a great summer-time cake.
FAVORITE VIDEO FROM MY PHONE:
Our flag in front of our house blowing in the cool breeze this beautiful Memorial Day, as the 21 gun salute commenced.
CREATIVE CORNER:
I have yet to get into my hand lettering lessons, UGH!! I’ve signed up for a class where this guy teaches calligraphy using Crayola markers, he calls it Crayligraphy. I am planning on doing some today.
But my sons are always being creative with their Legos. Together they have been doing stop motion videos, and created their own You Tube channel for it, check it out or share it with your kids. It’s amazing how there is a whole community for the customizing of the Lego mini figures. Elijah has entered a couple of contests and has actually held a few of his own. Great outlet for kids!!

QUOTES:
The angel food cake one is an old Weight Watchers recipe, I think. Try it with a can of crushed pineapple. You’re welcome.
