Pickles and Peaches and Salsa...Oh My!

You can sure tell in my house when the end of summer is approaching.

I have pickles on the brewing on the counter and peach juice all over. Time to freeze pies for the winter and get enough of Grandma's pickles made to supply my family for the next year! Next project, is salsa. Soon. I have to schedule this with Tyler, as he's the one who wanted to make it and thus encouraged the area in my garden for the tomatoes, peppers and onions!

This will be a good productive fall.

Little Pig

Okay...so everyone knows I don't watch much TV and I certainly can't stand just having the TV on for noise. Well, I love the new Geico commercial and laugh every time, that I leave the TV on so I can come running to watch once I hear the squealing.

The little pig that cries "wee, wee, wee all the way home". I can't get enough of it.

I feel like the cats when their food drops. They bullet to the laundry room...I bullet to the family room.

Please everyone, you have got to go on-line to see this commercial.

Margarita In A Bag

You know when you find a new wonderful item at Trader Joes or Costco for example, and you feel the need to share the great find...well here is my new discovery: Margarita In A Bag.

Charley and I were at a party for the 4th of July that served them. They were great but I thought not much again of them. Then a couple of weeks ago, again I was at a function and they served them. Okay. Now I need the details.

Fred Meyer. They are so handy to fix. The bag is $5.99 and you fill it with tequila, triple sec and water. Freeze and since the alcohol won't let it freeze solid, it is a slushy treat for at least 10-12 servings.

Cheryl and the kids are over at Sun Lakes this week for the adoption agency annual camping trip. It is 96* and she just called to thank me for sharing the new find. She went to FM two days ago and stocked up and is having her "grown-up" drink!

So migrate your way to FM and ask where they are kept, because a bit hard to find. You too, will be thanking me. ....and girls, you'll find them in the freezer in the garage next to a turkey!
