Hi Chris and Holly. So glad you had fun baking today. We got home around 5 from the lake. We had a great time. Steeler preseason football tonite. Go Steelers. The brownies look really good. I made a dish of jello with pineapple in it. I wanted something light for dessert tonight. We had fish and corn on the cob for dinner. Looking forward to hearing all about the birthday celebrations. We have my cousins wedding tomorrow afternoon. It will be good to see all our family and visit with them. Take care and have a great evening. Hugs. John and Debbie

Glad you had your fun baking brownies, including ice cream cones with the boys, they sure do look good.
I hope you enjoy your shopping trip to the dollar tree this morning and enjoy celebrating the boys birthdays. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
Hopefully the rain has stopped there and you have a nice weekend like we’re supposed to have.
I hope everyone has a fun weekend, hugs

Delicious!! I love Neopolitan ice cream:). I ordered pizza last night with a batch of brownies from Papa John’s!! It was a great treat:). Your baking Fridays are inspiring:)

I love to hear about your gardens. Mine are all dried up. The drought was too long. I put a bird bath in the space where my little fir tree was. I’m still shopping for a little tree. I need to wait until the weather is cooler though.

Going for a country drive this morning. Yard sales are coming to an end. Our schools started last week. It makes summers short!!

So many birthdays to look forward to for you!

Hugs to you all:). Have a great day:).
