Welcome to this week's list of likes starting with our new outdoor (back patio) rug . It reminds me of some of my paintings but since it was on sale at Khols, it's not as precious lol
I liked finishing this quilt last week, made with turquoise scraps, and in position on my bedside table!

and one of my index card paintings from last week's post. I love the index card a day prompts
I do an art/creativity post on Saturdays with pics of the week's efforts
Fine Dining
I tried two new recipes this week. One was chocolate ice cream without a churn... turned out to taste great but leaves a sort of fatty coating on my tongue. It was easy to make though.

The next things was Cherry Gallette something like a cherry pie, or torte, made with puff pastry crust

we made it more rectangular, but it is gone with no pics! I adapted the recipe a bit and still so good

| Water, Tea, Ginger Ale, cherry juice (nothing but cherry juice) |
the prompt this week: do you have a favorite summertime drink?
non-alcoholic: Ice-cold is most important. No ice as it dilutes the drinks.
I love Iced Tea.... made by the half gallon, with cinnamon or constant comment bags, plus a few green tea bags. Steep strong... dilute with filtered water to half gal. and kept in fridge.
I like ginger ale made with sugar not corn syrup. I like cherry juice mixed with plain sparkle water.(supposed to help with inflammation)
I keep filtered water in the fridge to entice me to drink more
Alcoholic: I love Sangria (wine plus fruit) I like lemoncello while sitting outside on the porch. I like Reislings, sweet red wine in summer, and if you're making it, a long island iced tea would be nice
Just fun: stairs VS ramps....
Food for thought
are you invested in women's rights? are you a moderate rep. woman? Joining together are Moderate, republican and democratic women, we need to stand together or the next thing to go could be our right to vote... don't say this is overreacting.
We now have less rights than a generation or two ago, and it's getting worse. Watch this smart woman as she describes how women (and supportive men) will save the country if we work together...

on forgiveness.... I've had to learn a lot of forgiveness lessons and this ties up a lot of wisdom:
Milo's Moments
Milo Here....
well, somehow I survived the week! It was a poodle miracle! There was so much booming around our house. I knew it was NOT normal so I barked the alert!
Can you believe it, my pawrents said "it's going to be okay, quiet down"
QUIET? are you kidding me? My barks are no where near as loud as the booms! And for about the whole week it happened every night and even when the sun is still out!
Mama: sigh.... I hate this too. One night it went on after 2 AM ! I miss the days when there was one display, in some park or common area and ended by 10 PM, one day only. Now every tom dick and harry fires them off right outside our doors with no controls on them.
Illegally by the way, but true to the laws these days, they are not enforced.
sigh
Milo: it's about me Mama! I hate this behavior by humans. What's so nice about making loud disturbing noise? I got extremely upset and nervous and it smelled bad outside but I hope it's safe again... d
