Who wants to do anything?  I just want to play, and that’s all I’ve been doing…<\/b><\/i><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
with some of my water-lovin’ grand kiddies! <\/b><\/i><\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

This little one splashed and splashed…<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

played in the sand…<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

and was all smiles, having the time of his life… until it was time to get out!<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

It was hot and sunny and the shimmering water was heavenly!<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Relaxed and having such fun together, the days just flew by!<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Each one is such a gift…We returned home tonight and I’m missing them like crazy.<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

 When it’s hot and I’m sad, I need of a little summer comfort food.  A fresh, salad always hits the spot!<\/p>\n

Grilled Chicken Pasta Salad<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n

shared by one of my sweet neighbors, is a real treat.  You’ll need…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 6 to 8 grilled chicken breast…let it rest a couple minutes and then slice…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Bow tie pasta…All you have to do is bring a large pot of water to a boil.  Add the pasta, cover and remove from the heat and let it sit for 10 minutes.  It cooks perfectly every time!  Drain, rinse and cool.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

baby spinach…and these yummy veggies and mandarin oranges…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

and to kick it up a lot…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

and to dress it…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

along with sugar, (or stevia, it works well), salt and pepper.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

 Throw it all together, toss it, top with sliced chicken and sprinkle with a few peanuts.<\/p>\n
