While out taking my walk in the Poconos...

I met up with some lovely neighbors... And their friends...



Saw some pretty sights.

and some youngsters :)

What a nice walk!

Flowers in the Poconos - Some Wild - Some Not So Wild

Pretty Flowers were everywhere - some in gardens some just sprouting out of the gravel on the roadside all so fresh and colorful.

Dad's Lake

The Lake at the bottom of the hill - beautiful!

Leaving on a Jet Plane...

I'm off on another adventure to see my dad in the Poconos in Pennsylvania for a few days. I haven't been to the mountians in PA for at least 5 years - and he offered to fly me up so I said - Yes! I hope to blog from there but if not I'll be back in a week or so with tons of pictures and lots to tell so stay tuned. I leave you with this lovely flower from the firecracker bush in my backyard.

Smiling Biggie

This is Biggie he is our daughter Marissa's long haired chihuahua I took this picture of him while he was laying with his "mommy" she had just put her glasses on him - how cute and how happy he was to show them off! Perfect for Camera Critters - Happy Saturday Everyone :)

Stomboli YUM!

Stromboli is a favorite around here one reason I think everyone loves it is because the sky is the limit as to the combinations that can be created! These 2 here are definitely favorites of everyone in my house. On the left is the salami, pepperoni, provolone, mozzarella, garlic and basil - on the right is fresh spinach and mushroom sauteed and drained well - you don't want to add too much moisture to the dough as it makes it soggy - so after I saute I just blot the mixture with paper towels to dry it off pretty good then I added provolone cheese a small amount of Parmesan-Romano, garlic and basil. I cheat and use the pizza dough that I purchase at the Publix bakery roll it out nice and thin and as I said roll up just about anything that you like. Simple meal - just add a side salad and dinner is served!

Happy July 1 And Color Carnival!
