We’re taking a break this week to indulge in a bit of summer fun. We’ll see you back here after the Fourth. Have a great holiday, everyone!

Strawberry cheesecake
And a final nod to Bryan’s birthday . . . a simple strawberry cheesecake. I used the base of this recipe, swapping out the graham crackers in favor of shortbread cookies.

Bryan’s birthday, wrapped up
We celebrated Bryan’s birthday last week with the traditional breakfast sandwich, a stack of presents, and visit from his parents.
When Bryan saw his gifts, he picked them up one by one, shook them, and said, “Shoes, shirt, shorts, shorts, shirt, gift card, and…liquor, but I’m not sure what kind…”
He was right on every count.
Next year, I think I’ll leave them unwrapped!

Happy Father’s Day!
Happy Father’s Day to all of the wonderful dads and grandpas in our lives—and special wishes to the one that makes me so happy to be a mom.

Olivia Fix
The other day, I found Olivia dressed in princess garb and singing to the birds outside. I was hoping she’d convince them to come inside and help tidy up, but no such luck.

Sightings
I golfed nine holes with my friend Tami tonight. We played an executive course in the center of town, and while the game was good, the most interesting part proved to be the wildlife.
We slowed the rate of play considerably by spending a good five minutes watching a Barred Owl, then we did a double-take on the ninth tee: A bobcat made it’s way across the fairway in front of us.
It’s the first time I’ve seen anything like this in the wild, and it was incredible. And right in the middle of the city, no less!
I’m always on the look out for one of the reported mountain lions that live in the area. Maybe that will come next!
Do you have sightings to share?
