Summer Love

Summer lovin' had me a blast
Summer lovin' happened so fast
I met a girl crazy for me
Met a boy cute as can be
Summer days driftin' away, to uh-oh those summer nights

Uh Well-a well-a well-a huh
Tell me more, tell me more
Did you get very far?
Tell me more, tell me more

. . . . . . . . . HEY! This is a family blog. Sorta. . . . . . . . . .

This summer we got to visit the Gardners. BamBam joined us and well, fell in love with their beautiful chocolate lab Espy. And you can tell why...... that girl is HOT!

July Four + Chinese Five Spice Chicken

We spent our first 4th of July together as a couple at a free concert at the Cary Ampitheatre (a wee bitty version of something similar to Wolf Trap).

We got rained on and missed fireworks. But the best part was a new recipe I tried on chicken drumsticks. Its now a favorite for Danny and I. Its got a killer "kick" to it but it gets dipped into a creamy cilantro sauce. SO GOOD!!

WARNING: There's some SKIN showing in some pictures!!

Danny rented a house for us at Duck, NC and it was less than a 10 minute walk to the beach. Weather was amazing. We had a wonderful time. Started a mean game of gin rummy that lasted all summer. Yes, I won. My score was over 8,000 points.

We would get up and head to the beach by 8:30 and stayed until a little past lunch. Water was so nice. Got to go parasailing......TOO FUN! And surprisingly quiet and peaceful once you're up there.

Beth was traveling thru and met us for dinner. That was a blast!

Anyway, my hubby did PERFECT for spoiling me on our honeymoon. This was the first honeymoon for the both of us. : )
