The Man Who Taught Me So Much, and Left So Much Behind

The Legacy You Left in Our Hands.

A month ago, we said goodbye to my dad. ❤️

A month later, I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that you're gone. I miss you, and there are so many things I wish I could tell you, so many memories I keep replaying, and so many moments when I wish I could pick up the phone or spend one more afternoon working alongside you.

You may have been my stepdad by title, but after 36 years of loving my mom and 32 years of marriage, you were so much more than that. You were my dad, and I will always be grateful for the life, love, and memories we shared.

Life Update

 It's been awhile.

Let's take it back to December:

-Ginger had emergency surgery.  She ate one of the little dogs toy and it ended up getting stuck. 

She was miserable.

In the Kitchen

This menu was inspired by the heat wave and not wanting to turn the oven on higher than 350.  It was a week of fun meals as we like to call them.   Plus I have a funny cooking story at the end.

We enjoyed BBQ pulled pork, corn, biscuit, and coleslaw

July Recap

 I didn't manage to take many pictures throughout July.  July was a crazy weather month for us.  We had a lot of rain and thunderstorms along with some high heat.  We learned to swim early in the day to miss the 4pm storms.

We wanted to watch the fireworks from the pool, but all we could do was hear them.  So the kids ran to the front and watched from the road.
