Since I have been slacking in the blogging world these past few weeks, I am going to try hard to stay on top of things! Hence the mismatched post that follows! Let it be known....my dear, caring husband loves me! For absolutely no reason at all he surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of roses one night after work last week! This was quite the pleasant surprise! Sometimes I am still amazed that I somehow wooed that man into marrying me! He is just something else! And of course, the lovely roses became the perfect centerpiece for my dinner group!
And this month for dinner group with the wonderful ladies we made homemade pizza! We attempted a barbecue chicken pizza which wasn't all that bad as well as a yummy summer salad with strawberries, feta cheese and pecans! YUM! I wish I could say we mastered pizza dough tossing but that skill may take a little time to perfect! Talk about an easy month but a delicious month! And I must admit, we have lots of good plans for cooking in the next few months that I am so excited about!
And last but certainly not least, we went with our good friends Amy and Billy to hear the Netherlands Carillon Bells this past weekend! It turned out to be quite the little adventure! Of course it was perfectly beautiful all day Saturday until 10 minutes before we planned to leave for the concert! When I called, the park ranger said the show would go on as long as there was no lightning! Long story short, even with a few claps of lightning, the show went on for us! We were the only true blue Carilloning fans who stuck out the entire 2 hour performance in the rain! We even became best friends with the Carillonneur who let us take a picture with him after! We love our Dutch heritage and of course loved the performance as well! As the saying goes, "You ain't much if you ain't Dutch!" Certainly a great memory made! Thanks Amy and Billy for sticking out the stormy weather with us! :)
The whole gang with our new best friend! Haha! We are seriously thinking about showing up at his next performance on Labor Day just to see if he remembers us! Maybe Broc will sport the Netherlands shirt again to see if we can get special treatment next time too!
Best friend, huh? haha! If that's all it takes to become a best friend...wait, that's a tall order to fill. No thanks ;)
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun Natalie. You and Broc are going about married life so nicely. I love how you are tackling cooking. I completely agree about pizza dough----I hate dough in general because it feels so finicky. I use my bread machine to knead dough for pizza...and then I do the hard part of rolling it out. Oh, how I sweat. Anyhoo, love you two!
