Summer

We recently got back from our annual trip to Palm Springs. A had a blast as usual. Who wouldn't love sleeping in, swimming after lunch, going to the movies, jumping on the bed, night swimming & staying up with friends. Thanks to our friends D & L for a fun time!

our building was right next to the golf course

kids playing ultimate frisbee

had to get off the golf course for a golfer :)

We were craving something sweet one night so we whipped up a batch of cookies with what we had. They turned out really good! They had the texture of pecan sandies without the nuts and the pretzel added a nice saltiness to the sweet candy bars.
