The summer of 2014 has been simply fantastic for me!! I have had the opportunity to take tango and yoga lessons. I have attended a few concerts and taken a cooking class with one of my BFF’s, and Glen and I have entertained our friends and family many times in our lovely backyard!! The Quack-tastic news is the summer is only partially over!! 

There are still so many plans to come—a trip to Wisconsin to see where Jeanne grew up (blog to follow), taking Ben to see Marvel Universe Live, a pool party with my QVC friends, a weekend trip to the Pocono mountains, and so many more things that I don’t even know about just yet!!

Since I have had a fun-filled summer, I thought I would share a few memories of this summer thus far!!

Glen and I celebrated our friend Lisa’s birthday at our house. Her husband, Giuseppe, and Glen have become great friends—they are two peas in a pod!! Lisa, Giuseppe and I all attended college together!! Their youngest son, Gabe, is highly allergic to shellfish, and they never get to eat it at home. So we decided to cook crabs and clams since the kids stayed home!!

(In case you’re wondering, here I am wearing our Quacker Factory Grommet Neck Elbow Sleeve Knit Terry Top - A251804)

On a fun trip to Atlantic City, NJ, my BFF Susan and I took a cooking class at the Viking Cooking School in Harrah’s Casino. The theme of the evening was ‘Girls’ Nite Out’ with a Caribbean menu—YUM!! Check us out wearing our Quacker Factory tops!! (A254273 on me, Susan’s top has been retired).

Here we are with the head chef and teacher of the class!! He was amazing and funny!! He is retired from the Marine Corp and is currently serving as a minister! He was an outstanding speaker!!

We made a gorgeous salad with jerk chicken and shrimp. Dessert was a yummy pie!! And yes, we made the dressing from scratch!!

Here are some photos from our Fourth of July party! I had to decorate in style, just like Jeanne always did!! I learned from the best!!

We have to celebrate in the front of the house as well as the back!! Since we are new to this house, I still need to work out all of my decorations, but I think this is a great start!!

The backyard tables are ready and waiting to be used by our hungry guests!! The buckets and food tents are from Jeanne’s home. These were given to me after she passed. I think of her every time I use them!

I hope you have had a great summer thus far!! If not, there is still plenty of time to change that!! Make some plans, take a class, invite some friends over for lemonade!! Take a moment to enjoy all that the world has to offer!

Until next time-- 

Quack, Quack!
