Since I left Longwood Gardens with 300 photos in my memory card, I thought I’d break them down a bit.
If you’d like to see part two, go here!
I am gonna end this set with my very favorite photo. It is how I wish all of these photos turned out. Everything relevant is in focus, it’s beautifully lit, it’s crisp, and beautiful. You get this because you scrolled to the end of the post!
The Microphone was
purple and so were the flowers

We had each of my two boys invite a friend over for the night last night and we decided that it was time t try out the sores!!! I made them a little different though. I got the grahams, marshmallows and Hershey chocolate bars out with the tin foal. Since the grill was still hot from dinner, I put them on that. I took the foal, put halve a cracker on first, then 3 blocks of choc, smooshed a marshmallow on then added another 3 blocks of chocolate before putting the other graham half on top. I held it together and wrapped it tight into the foil to keep it in place before putting them on the grill for 6 or so minutes. WOW, they came out a chocolaty, mushy mess but tasted oh so good!!! The kids loved them. They are very messy and gooey but the yummyness of them with the extra chocolate makes them perfect!!!!

After moving from New York City to Chicago and getting married, Rachel Bertsche realized that her new life was missing one crucially important thing: a local best friend. So she decided to go on one friend date every week for a year, and she documented her quest on a WordPress.com blog at MWFseekingBFF.com.
But before Rachel even started the blog, the 27-year-old writer put together a book proposal based on her search for a local BFF, and successfully pitched it to agents, and then editors. She says, “After I sold the proposal, I decided to start a blog so that I could have a place to document my journey and some of the research I was finding. I also wanted to start building a community and to engage with readers.”
It’s now been over two years since Rachel first launched MWFseekingBFF.com. So did she accomplish her blogging goals?…
