  Tomorrow is the last Saturday of the month and time for the Share 4 Somethings link up with Jennifer. Once again we'll be sharing some things we've  loved and/or disliked, accomplished, some things we've improved upon and/or that need improvement, and noticed Loved/Disliked:  I have loved so much about our month! We started the month with a fabulous graduation party for Alec. The next day we were in Acadia for a mini vacation and I just loved our time there. Then we came home and threw ourselves into one final week of senior activities and awards and graduation night; which I also loved.  Grad party ( you can read about that here ): Acadia (our trip was recapped here,   here, and  here) : senior awards night: graduation ( more about that here ): Accomplished:  I got all sorts of grad gifts put together; most of Alec's friends ended up (or will end up!) with these candy jars of cash and then a framed photo from graduation night.  Something I've Improved Upon/or th

 It's the last Thursday of the month and time to link up with Holly and Patty for Monthly Musings. This month we're talking all about summer plans and favorites.  1. We don't have many summer plans-- next week the younger boys and I will head to Little Compton Rhode Island for an overnight trip to visit friends and then the week after that Alec gets all his wisdom teeth out and that's pretty much it for what's on our calendar.  Photos from last year's trip to Rhode Island We love sitting out on the deck at their vacation rental enjoying the sound of the waves on the rocks and there is a tiny beach just down the street.  2. We don't have much in the way of summer traditions either-- we'll get together with my husband's family the weekend of the 4th for a cookout at the lake and my mom and I enjoy a fun day of shopping/lunch for my birthday in July but that's about it.  Hopefully we'll get to see some fireworks somewhere at some point too.  Ove

Wednesday: Pulled pork sandwiches with  crunchy, sweet coleslaw salad, & fries Thursday:  Spinach ravioli and sauce with veggies from our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture farm box). Friday: Chicken/ tofu stir- fry with fresh veggies and rice.  Saturday: Hot dogs &/or burgers with salad and BBQ macaroni salad Sunday: I'm sure my husband will be smoking some sort of meat and we'll probably grill up some veggies from our box we get from the farm along with some cheesy grilled potatoes. What I'm Reminiscing About:  I haven't been reminiscing about anything this month as we've all been looking forward; not back.  What I'm Loving:  Lots of yummy
