Rainy Days and Fridays...and some family news

We've been in a drought so are welcoming the rain we've been having this week...I even welcomed it when I got caught during the last 3/4 mile of my morning walk without my umbrella yesterday.  You can almost hear the plants, grass, and trees sighing from this nice "drink".

I'm plugging right along on the model but took a little time out  to work on another of LHN Country Christmas, this time for me to keep:

I tried a new recipe that I found via Pinterest:  Raspberry Lemonade Bars:

OMG!  This recipe is a keeper!  It's the perfect thing to take to a summer potluck/picnic...and it's a good thing we had Rook where I shared them that night or I would have eaten the whole pan of them.  Here's a link to the recipe:

Now that the immediate family knows, I can share that our DD is now engaged.  She and her fiance have been together for a while and we'd already started thinking of him as a son-in-law but soon it will be official.  They're very good for one another and we're very excited about it.

Happy stitching!
