The Summer of Home ~ Happy Birthday Mr. Wonderful

Rain had been predicted for today but it turned 

out to be a beautiful Spring day so we decided to

take advantage of the lovely weather and head out.

Late last night Brennan came home from

college for the summer and he joined Mr.

Wonderful and I for a day out to celebrate

Mr. W's birthday.  We went to a few local

Farmer's Markets.

It is so early in the season, there was little

produce available, only some asparagus and

rhubarb.  But there were many other vendors,

we got some citronella solid perfume to try to

help keep the mosquitoes off our skin, some 

local honey, homemade dog biscuits, a baking 

mix and a lavender bergamot orange goat's

milk soap that I look forward to using tomorrow.

I guess it's true that goats will try to 

eat anything.

We then went out for a lovely lunch at

our favorite Mediterranean restaurant 

and Mr. W was surprised with a birthday

baklava dessert.

Wonderful got a new grill for his birthday.

We had to fire it up for dinner.

We dined on the deck, we had Adana kebabs,

veggie kebabs and Shepherd's salad.

And finished the night with cake, singing

and presents at G&T's.

It was a perfect day at our American Homestead.

We miss you Katie!!!!
