you make me smile, at times sigh with relief, and I appreciate you, too!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely list!
ReplyDeleteI join you in gratitude for learning how to make yummy good for you pink lemon aid. Would love your recipe! And Ann of Green Gables, how fondly I remember my mom and my oldest daughter reading the books over and over through the years. Precious memory.

Thank you for stopping by and giving me your recipe for pink lemonade. I am planning a bridals luncheon for my daughter in August and think that would be perfect to serve. Can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteVery kind of you to share.
Thank you.
