Day Camping

Hank and I had some fun this weekend hitting up Jordan Lake to visit our campers - my dad and some of the Lake Tillery family. We did the usual - float, ride the Sea-Doos and cook. 

With the exception of a little fish nipping my finger while floating - I love the disconnect and relaxation camping brings. ... And adventure? There are always entertaining happenings!

Za Night

Friday night we had our friends Nick and Jen over for dinner. I was happy as can be with a squeaky clean house, fresh flowers, a tasty dinner menu planned and these two on the way. 

We started with hummus, wine and strawberry salad (strawberries, spinach leaves, pecans, goat cheese and balsamic vinaigrette). Then we dined on shrimp pesto pizza (wheat dough, pesto, shrimp, mozzarella and goat cheese) and finished with peach frozen yogurt. 

We played games including one of my favorites - Ring-O Flamingo - and chatted away until the morning. The guys even had their own rare beer tasting. Great start to the weekend!

Lola

I had a pineapple named Lola over the weekend. She was quite posh.

She assisted in the production of a great summer dinner: grilled shrimp, the fruits of summer - pineapple and watermelon and Greek tortellini salad. Thanks, Lola!
