:: Blooms: These past few very hot days of July have brought more color and abundance to my cutting garden than I ever even dreamed of in the May when I began this endeavor . There are blooms for every room now, and the supply of vases seems to be running short!

Birthdays: July is birthday month for the girls in my family! A very Happy Birthday to Mom and to Megan and to me! :)

 Background: Family tradition leads my family to German Fest at the end of every July. Holy Mass in German, as well as German foods, and cultural traditions not only make a memorable day but also reminds one of the treasure in one's heritage and the importance of celebrating and preserving it.

… What a wonderful, blessing-filled month this has been (and continues to be)! ::

                                                  God Bless you!

I am so happy to finally be here celebrating it with all of you tonight.   As you might imagine, there is so much I could say about my big sister. You get to know someone very well after living with them for almost nineteen years… but because time is short and I’m not a public speaker, I’d like to share with you three lessons that I have learned from Megan over the years. First, if you really know ...

July 2nd, 2017 - This is the thirty-sixth  day of a 40 day blogging challenge: some pictures and words each day. Come back tomorrow to see more posts!   ~~~  All in all, it was a never to be forgotten summer — one of those summers which come seldom into any life, but leave a rich heritage of beautiful memories in their going — one of those summers which, in a fortunate combination of delightful weather, delightful friends and delightful doing, come as near to perfection as anything can come in this world.  // L.M.
