The Best Intentions...

The best intentions...do not get your recipes written. SO sorry, all. We had R's 13th birthday party yesterday. Ten kids for seven and a half hours plus parents over for dinner after that. I didn't sit down for almost twelve hours. So, my post(s) didn't happen. I will be posting some late, some tomorrow, and more after the event. Happy Sunday. Please enjoy the other bloggers' posts.

    That birthday party and the memories made are worth a month's worth of recipe posts. Rule #1....Life before blogging. Enjoy your time with the family Cam and don't forget how much we all appreciate your hard work.

When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few.

I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat.

But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
