Hi Chris and Holly. So glad you had a great afternoon baking. I baked two loaves of zucchini pineapple bread today. It sure smells good. I will have some later for a snack. Then I baked a pizza for dinner tonight. It was really good. To bad I didn't have some of your bread sticks to go with it!! John and I went grocery shopping this morning at Walmart. I didn't much but it seems you always bring home more than you went for. So glad Holly is doing better. We are going to watch Paranormal Adventures tonight. Not sure where they are investigating tonight. Your gardens sound like they are doing well. John brought us up two zucchini squash yesterday so last night I made fried squash and then today I made the bread. You and Holly enjoy your evening. Missed your baking Friday picture of you and Holly!! Love ya. John and Debbie

Wow those cheesy breadsticks look yummy, How long do you bake them for? I didn't know you used pizza dough to make them. Great idea! I love your garden shots, as always, and the dragonfly. I saw a white cabbage butterfly in my backyard.
