Lemon Drop Cookies

Today was about as perfect as a day can be. My sweet little boys woke up so happy, got dressed for church all by themselves, then played together nicely until it was time to leave. The Geologist made me breakfast (even if I did have to coach him through it :) while I got my lesson ready. Sunny, warm, blue skies... angel children in church... lunch together after... baked cookies and delivered to a neighbor... had a blast with two of our favorite little girls in the WHOLE world... We went swimming today, which we usually don't do on Sundays, but it was a reward for the boys being such good "men of the house" while The Geologist was gone all those weeks. This is the Man of the House motto:

This is between them and their Dad, and they take their motto very seriously. Anyway, went swimming, lovely, came home, fed kids and off to bed, all as pleasantly as can be! Joe was out like a light in minutes. Then the Geologist and I made our dinner on the porch (it was running late) enjoying the setting sun and perfect temperature as the air cooled. Altogether, a heavenly day!

Raspberry Rhubarb Crunch

My blog needs some tweaking. Just a bit!! So I have a few questions for my wonderful, talented, fabulous fellow bloggers.

First: Can anyone tell me how to get a "Pin It" button at the bottom of each post?? If you explain it to me, step-by-step, I can handle HTML code. Or an awesome, simple link to someone who does.

Second: How do you get borders around your pictures? Simple as frames, or a white line, or something. It looks sooo nice! I'd like to learn how to add that.

Now, thanks to my sister, I have an awesome custom blog design. Yay!! Unfortunately, it's based on the old "minima" template, so anything you could normally do through Blogger template designer won't fly.

While I'm waiting, I'll munch on some of this divine-ness...

Blackberry Mint Lemonade

Ugh. This is one of those posts that makes me ashamed of my photography. You've got to go see the original, there's a link below. It would be helpful if I owned a pitcher that wasn't opaque plastic!! I am officially on the hunt for a pretty glass pitcher. A picture of a glass all by itself is just NOT that awesome. Oh well. It's still yummy enough to share immediately, instead of waiting to buy a pitcher and make it again!!

Coconut Lime Chicken

The Geologist is the grill master in this house! If you asked me to grill something, I would probably burn it to a crisp. Or be afraid of burning it and leave it half-raw. Regardless, the grill is HIS domain. We used to have a nice big (though old) gas grill, and a little "Smoky Joe" charcoal grill before that... But we left them behind when we moved away from Missouri. Since then, we've been making do with this:

It's tiny, and old, and temperamental (woah, I had no idea that word was supposed to have an 'a' in it), but it works! In fact, we used to take it on road trips. It would sit in the back, in a cardboard box, and we'd have meat marinating in the cooler, or hot dogs, and at lunch or dinner time, we'd pull over at the nearest rest stop with a playground and cook up a real meal! Fast food gets old fast. Ha. We have fond memories with this little grill, and it continues to cook up yummy meals.
