Ah...July, what an incredible month...

July 2008 was a month to go down in history! First mom and juanie came down for a visit, we had an incredible time. Then Colt and Dollie came, and that was just magical. Little Colt is AMAZING, the things he says and the way he acts, what a total CUTIE PIE, you just want to eat him up.....I MISS HIM SO MUCH!! Afterwards my incredible fun-filled trip to Maine where i spent quality time with my little Cecipita and the awesome gagners http://gagfamme.blogspot.com/ hopefully Ceci will have the photos from the pirate party bonanza up soon. And lastly Lorena and her family came for a special visit. It was a fantasmagorical special month and I will never forget it.

Happy Brithday David and Dollie

Getting sick of this food journal

Its getting pretty monotonous and boring....I think the direction of this blog will change, it's not just about what i am eating but more about "HoneySuckle's Preserves" and "HoneySuckle's Bake Shop"

I Have been having so much fun making preserves with wholesome ingredients and unique flavors using strawberries fomr my strawberry patch..YAY!! i sent a bunch of them out for Father's Day, I am new to canning but it definitely looked like they all vaccuum selaed pretty good. So far these are the flavors:
Balsamic Pepper Tickle
Tipsy Nutmeg - Tipsy because it has a dash of rum in it
Cinnamon Lullaby
Strawberry Apricot
