Mother Teresa described silence and its relationship to God by saying ” God is the friend of silence. See how nature – Trees, grass, grow in silence, see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence….We need silence to be able to touch souls.”
This includes your soul!
Today in the United States we celebrate Memorial Day. This is the day we celebrate the soldiers who died fighting in the field.
I believe we should always honor those who fought and those who are fighting. I have an overwhelming amount of gratitude to these people.
But today is the day to celebrate those that gave their lives in defending our country.
And it feels so good! Conner, Coop’s best friend and next door neighbor,
borrowed Coop’s stuffed duck a few weeks ago. Coop got it back and couldn’t have been happier.
So, maybe he loves it a little too much, but he is one happy dog!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend and you have found your favorite “duck”!
This way????
Or this way???
Thanks!
Yes I do think Bradley Cooper is the cutest Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. 
But we met these pups a few years ago and they are mighty cute!
My favorite place to buy tomatoes is David’s Produce.
It has been around a very long time. Tomatoes are always the BEST! But they also have fresh butter beans and Lady Peas. Butter Bean are just lima beans basically. Oh and fresh Black eyed peas. They are all so yummy.
They have fresh eggs and butter too. All kind of veggies, carrots, squash, cabbage, vidalia onions, (sweet onions from Vidalia GA). 
All kinds of hot sauces! They also have my favorite thing!
Boiled Peanuts! Regular and Cajun!
Wishing everyone Peace and Happiness!
Yes, I did. I got about a half of a pound of shrimp. Peeled and deveined.
Then take some polish sausage. 
I used this brand, it has no fillers, no additives. Slice the sausage into buttons and throw them in a bowl with the shrimp. Add some olive oil lemon zest and a little lemon juice and some Old Bay Seasoning….
Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes. In the mean time, soak some bamboo skewers in water. Then thread the shrimp and sausage on the skewers.
Then grill them for two to three minutes on each side.
And there you go! A yummy low country boil on the grill. Grab a beer and chow down.
Delish!
The other day I heard of this recipe and I thought hmmm that sounds interesting but really? So, I tried it and it was great, I thought I would share…
Take 3 zucchinis and three yellow squash and three tomatoes, quarter them all.
Toss them in olive oil and a little garlic powder. Then put them on the grill. Grill about three minutes per side. Bring them inside and take a piece of aluminum foil and put the tomatoes on it. Leave on the grill about 5 minutes. Cut up the squash and put in a bowl. Bring the tomatoes in and cut up too. Add some red wine vinegar and some olive oil, some crushed red pepper and some fresh basil. It is still warm and it is just so scrumptious.
It is great the next day also!
