Day 1- We left Sunday morning after Mass for our first RV adventure of the season. We headed west to Holland, on the shores of Lake Michigan, where we set up camp at the Holland State Park. As soon as we were set up, we headed back an hour to Kalamazoo to see our friend Sister MaryAnn. We picked up pizza on the way and had a short but lovely visit. We got back in time for the sunset.

I took the Angel Face to California in March. We had a great time visiting with my brother and his family, going to the beaches, and traveling the Pacific Coast Highway. On our way back to the San Francisco Airport, we stopped in Monterey for a night to visit with my friend, Camilla.

J is for Jalapenos
These spicy-sweet little candied jalapenos are called Cowboy Candy. They are quick to make, fun to serve, and delicious to eat. I like adding them to grazing boards, sprinkling them over burrito bowls, and combining them with cream cheese to spread on crackers or my morning bagel.

Celebrating our Anniversary with a Hugo Spritz #ItalianFWT
This past Saturday was our 34th Wedding Anniversary. We were busy celebrating Frank's 75th Birthday with a Cinco de Mayo party, so Margaritas and Cervezas were the pours for the night. The following day, we visited our niece, who is nearly 2 hours away. We finally had a quiet night alone on the 4th, which is Frank's actual birthday. We celebrated with a refreshing Italian Cocktail, the Hugo Spritz.
