Last days of summer

It seems a lot of folks are taking the last few days of summer for a quick little vacation. 

And do you know what we heard while we stayed here?

Nothing, absolutely nothing :-)

Makes it hard to come back to the "real" world

A visit in history

On a trip up north, we visited the restored home of Lt. Col. J. Jones, built in the 1700's.

Lt. Col. Jones was a personal escort to Martha Washington, our first Presidents First Lady, when she visited Pennsylvania.

This home is located in Morgantown, PA. 

It's always interesting to find historical landmarks whenever we travel.

The Second Story Bookshop

 

The Second Story Bookshop by Denise Hunter is a second chance romance story.

Shelby and Grays relationship is rocky at best. As high school sweethearts, they are torn apart by circumstances that leaves Shelby heartbroken and Gray rejected. When Gray returns he learns that he has been left 49% of the bookstore that Shelby thought she had inherited. What was Gram thinking? 

The story is light reading. Clean romance, beautifully written as only Denise Hunter can. The second chance takes you through some drama and a slow build of trust. The story has a good flow and keeps your interest.

I received a complimentary ebook copy from the publisher, through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Strawberry /Blueberry Truffle

Want a dessert that will keep them coming for more? How about one that elevates end of summer?

My daughter found this Taste of Home recipe and it is certainly a winner.

DD added the blueberries, and it was not only pretty, it was delicious.

I won't copy the recipe for you here but will send  you to the Taste of Home link.

Enjoy!

I found this container of china at my local thrift store.  I could not wait to bring it home and set a pretty table.

W. H. Grindley & Co Pink Roses (Conway pattern)

 This tea set was painted by my late mother in law.

 27 pieces including two serving pieces.

Yes, this china took my breath away.  I am delighted to serve lunch on these beautiful dishes.

Saying goodbye

 Taking our little lady to her new home.

Lots of sweet memories.

Sad to see her go, but it was time.
