Happy 4th of July!!

Today we are having family friends over to eat delicious 4th of July foods.

My grandmother in Delaware had the best recipes!
On the menu:
Barbecued Chicken (The Chief's concoction)
Mimi's Potato Salad
Deviled Eggs (mmm a personal fav)
Baked Beans (with bacon on top!)
Sun Tea
. . . . .

The only thing that's not a Mimi usual is my Berry Cream Cheese Pie!
Strawberries and Blueberries on the bottom and the top...
Cream cheese, Cool Whip, and powered sugar mixture in the middle.

Philadelphia Cream Cheese is simply unbeatable.

Patriotic Indeed

Salad with Raspberry Vinegarette

This was too good not to share! My dad bought raspberries (which I never get to eat), and it made me very happy! We made a salad with them...and some pecans and feta cheese! Ah heaven in a bowl!

Commissioned House Drawings

I just finished drawing this house for a friend. It was a birthday gift to her fiance. I believe it was a success.

This is a house I drew in 2008 for my cousin.

A Summer Paper Chain

Is it bad that I made a paper chain to count down the days of summer? I can't deny that the frenzy of fall calls my name...
