After a long lingering spring it finally feels like summer!
[Chattanooga, TN]
Much thanks to EVERYONE in the military whose service has afforded us this freedom we have - especially to those who gave their lives -
Y'all - we have been extra cautious and even as we got together in our back yard we were still socially distanced.
Craig did a great job cooking up some burgers and brats and grilled veggies
[we had baked beans and pasta salad too!]
I'm so happy we decided to put 'covers' [aka plywood cut to fit] on the outdoor sink so we can use it for a cooking / serving area! Decorations are pinwheels and flags I picked up when I was brave enough to go in Target last week [mask on and hand gel in my bag!]
Photos can be deceiving - we are still distanced here...
Matt's sweet friend is so kind to wear a mask around us until her self-imposed quarantine is up - she came down from NYC and wants to be sure she didn't bring it into our house -
We had Dole Whip for dessert -
Not as easy to make as it sounds in our little 'standard' blender -
And, if I'm honest, I probably want to add a bit more ice cream to the basic recipe [4 ounces pineapple juice, 2 cups frozen pineapple + 1 big scoop of ice cream.]
Everyone loved it!
The only fireworks I had in the house was different kinds of
sparklers - so we had some fun with those!
And we ended the evening seeing
[and catching /releasing] the first fireflies of the season!
Happy Summer y'all!
I know things are different this year - but let's look for
- and be intentional - about finding [creating]
good things as we go through our days!
Be Present.
Be Real.
