Welcome back!
A quick thought for the day:
Count your blessings. A grateful heart attracts more joy, love and prosperity. –Cheryl Richardson
Enjoy this beautiful day!

P.S. I loved this picture of daffodils. It made me think of my grandmother, who will be 90 next week. It’s her favorite flower.
Happy Father’s Day!

Happy Father’s Day to all Dad’s! What a wonderful weekend to enjoy!
We had the pleasure of going on our annual Strawberry picking excursion yesterday. It’s a fun time we typically share with my father-in-law. We all piled in the berry ferry yesterday at Jones’ Farm out to the strawberry patch. It was warm and steamy, but not as bad as year’s past. We had a fun time as always-Faith and her Papa eating strawberries all along the way. It’s always a great memory.
I thought you might enjoy this fun cake recipe that they gave us:
Strawberry Surprise Cake
Oil a 13 x 9 pan. Mix 1-3 oz. pkg. of strawberry jello with 1 pint of thawed sweetened berries. Spread in the pan. Spread 2 cups of mini marshmallows over the strawberries and the jello. Prepare a basic 18 ox. yellow cake mix as directed and pour over the strawberries and marshmallows. Bake as directed. Cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes. Turn upside down on a serving tray. Try other flavors of cake mix–white, lemon, banana–for variations.
I haven’t tried this, but gee it looks good!
Enjoy and have a fabulous day!
In gratitude,
Deanna
