I’m obviously SUPER EXCITED to become a grandma this fall!
I did not make this cake, but it was a big hit. It’s a Whole Foods quarter sheet Strawberry Shortcake. It also comes in smaller (round) sizes. If you need a cake for a party this summer, I highly recommend this one. It’s really good.

Stay cool friends
This is an easy one for me. I’ve been at the outdoor pool every day that it’s been open since Memorial Day weekend. Starting this week, it’s open every day. The lifeguards are mostly high school students and the seniors are out for summer. Woo hoo!

Who would you like to talk to soon?
Not who, what.
Summer.
And the wait is over. It’s here. It starts today. It’s the Friday of Memorial Day weekend and it’s going to be in the 80s.
I’m registered for an afternoon slot at my outdoor pool. I’ll get to swim laps and read my book outside today.
I cleaned (really scrubbed!) my porch yesterday. It’s looking good and is temporarily pollen-free.
Oh, and it’s Gemini season. My time has come.
Hello Summer.
😄 💓 ♊️ ☀️ 🏊 🌸 😎

Why do you blog?
These prompts are starting to feel repetitive. Here’s an old post I wrote called Why Blog?
We’ve had so many rainy weekends in New England this summer. It’s great that we’re ending on a high note!
Summers are short, but glorious in New England. I know some people really love autumn, but it does not hold a candle to summer. Winter is horrible (unless you like skiing) and “spring” is not a thing. There’s like one warm day in May (if we’re lucky, it’s Mothers Day).
So here’s to New England in the summer.
