A new milestone

My days of PTA meetings , being a room mom, and class parties came to an end today. Our elementary school days are over. In fact it is a double milestone with one on to middle school and the other on to high school. Holy cow time flies !! I blinked and they grew up. After 8th grade graduation yesterday we took the girls to dinner to celebrate, and then this morning went to 5th grade graduation breakfast for Briley. I love the girls they are a joy in my life!! Time passes very quickly so give your kids an extra hug today!!

I made easy key lime pie for a treat today to celebrate the last day of school, its a really easy and delicious treat for spring and summer. Here is the recipe.

Easy Key Lime Pie

1 4oz. cream cheese

1 can sweetened condensed milk ( not evaporated)

1 pkg lemon-lime kool-aid

1 8oz. cool whip

1 graham cracker crust

Beat cream cheese until smooth the add milk, beat koolaid into mixture until dissolved and well mixed. Beat in cool whip mix well, then put in crust. Enjoy

Wildlife in my backyard

I love spring !! We have had so much fun watching the wildlife in the backyard I thought I would share. This is Mom and Dad Morning Dove. They are right outside our computer room window. Since very early spring we have watched them build their nest in our plum tree and lay their eggs. Mom sits on the nest and takes care, while dad sits on a wire very near and watches over. The babies have finally hatched, it will be fun to watch them grow and leave the nest.

The hummingbirds play and chase each other around the yard and occasionally make a stop at the feeder for a bite to eat. They are a fascinating to watch. Nature is totally amazing !!

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mothers Day !! I am grateful to have a wonderful mother. This is my mother and her mother, what a wonderful legacy they have left for me. I have big shoes to fill.
