SPF 50, check
Big hat, check
Sarong, check
I still managed to get sunburned on the right the right side of my body and a bit pink on the forehead and nose. And….it’s splotchy too, esp. on my right shoulder. The day before my cousin’s engagement party where I was thinking of wearing my cute 50’sish halter dress, of course.
I see lots of aloe vera in my future.
Here’s a quick delicious salad. I think it would also be nice with some grilled chicken added to make it an entree.
Mixed Greens
Red Seedless Grapes
Strawberries, sliced
Pecans (I used the pre-chopped kind.)
Pecorino Romano, sliced (It’s what we had. If you don’t have any, Parmesan would work just as well.)
Since it’s a salad and I made it up, there are no measurements. I used a vegtable peeler to get nice sized slices of the cheese. I left the grapes whole since they are bite size.

We had our first Creativity Circle this past sunday with Missie and Dickie. Nick was out of state visting his girlfriends family. The photos from this salad were just a few that I showed.
This is the photo that got picked out of about five that I had of the salad. Dixon said “It looks like it’s from a cook book”, which I think is the nicest thing anyone could have said. Thank you everyone for your input!
Blackstone Gorge in late June.
I also have a couple extras from that day.
I had my first peach of the summer and it was devine…all sweet and juicy. The juices were dripping down my arm. I <3 Summer. 
It’s raining, again. Today we have thunder and lightning, too. I want my sunny and warm summer! Yesterday was perfect, sunny, warm (about 80)and with a slight breeze. I wonder if it’s going to be like this all summer. Mostly rain, with a nice day here and there, instead of how it usually is (the opposite).
In lappy news….All is not lost! Derrick is able to back up the harddrive! Harry will get the dvds on friday when he goes over for D&D. Next thing is Harry needs to find out if the actual laptop can get fixed. He’s mentioned “motherboard” and “powersource”. I do not know what those things are or how fixable they are.
I’ve decided to delete the sarahmackenziephoto blog.
I’m enjoying having the shorter hair. I hate the bangs. I don’t know what possessed me to agree with Harry and Heather. I knew I didn’t want them. Oh well. At least they grow out, slowly, but I won’t have them forever. I gave it about two weeks before I just could not stand it. I just can’t stand hair touching my face and I feel claustrophobic at times with them. I know, I’m weird.
Creme Brulee anyone? 
I had Harry take this the day after I got my hair cut.
Billy Mays….Noooooooo! He was only 50 years old.
Wow what day! Farrah Fawcet passed away earlier today from cancer. I recently saw on the news that Micheal Jackson died! As far as I know he wasn’t even sick. Ed McMahon died earlier in the week, too.
In other sad related news, Harry’s laptop might be dead. :’( We’re hoping that Derrick can retrieve all the info on the harddrive. I had all my photos on it. I had not backed anything up in ages, except whatever I might have put on Photobucket. Thank goodness for the ol’ jolopy. It’s as slow as molasses going uphill, but it’s working. *knock on wood*
