Monday a recipe and a barn

Ah - Monday morning - GOOD MORNING FRIENDS! Three more weeks of summer vacation. Will you be glad or sad it's over?

You saw the wedding pictures yesterday - well this was a drive by barn in Cartersville, GA on the way to the wedding. I can't get my family to slow down and let me take a picture. We're always in a hurry and I don't know why.... we rush and rush but who knows why . . . I sure don't.

"A farmer was milking his cow. He was just starting to get a good rhythm going when a bug flew into the barn and started circling his head. Suddenly, the bug flew into the cow's ear. The farmer didn't think much about it, until the bug squirted out into his bucket. It went in one ear and out the udder."

(Thank you Knitty)

Not too bad of a drive by photo....

Now last week I mentioned I went to a luncheon with some blog gals. Here's a picture of us!

Now for the fabulous recipe of the week -

How about something for the heat and for our pups?

Cool Peanut Butter Cubes

3 cups plain Non-Fat Yogurt
1 cup Unsalted Peanut Butter
1 Tbsp. honey

Combine all ingredients and whisk thoroughly. Pour mixture into ice cube trays and freeze solid (at least two hours). Serve to your pup one cube at a time for some seriously enjoyable icy cool treats!

Alaska

I flew in on Delta - which is huge here in Atlanta, but in Alaska it only has one gate! It was non-stop and took about 7 1/2 hours. I had picked a window seat which I never do and wanted to change, but the entire plane was filled with other people wanting to go to Alaska. I watched the movie 'Seventeen Again' and 'Hannah Montana'. The meal was actually pretty good.

I sat next to a very strange man (I thought). He was huge - not heavy - he must have been a body builder and I felt like he just took over and managed the entire space. I was really getting anxious. All sorts of thoughts were going on in my mind - or what I felt I had left of it (lol). I surely wondered at this point what the heck I was doing flying to Alaska.

I stayed at the Sheraton in Anchorage for two days. It was a beautiful hotel - now this wasn't my picture - I forgot to take one - but you can see in the picture it looked like there was some darkness - my trip was in complete daylight. I don't think I remember seeing their lights on at the Sheraton.

The downtown area had lots of souvenir shops which I did most of my shopping at. I wanted to get it out of the way so that I could start feeling and thinking about Alaska.
