I’m still laughing over the limericks. Right now my strawberries are beginning to come in, and the way they go into me is over Culver’s custard. Soon I’ll be ready for some of those recipes. Thanks for sharing and have a great staycation.

First step in building a very large bookcase – build a very large house. 😀
I bought a pair of bicycle bookends last week!
Enjoy your staycation – maybe you’ll get some reading done.

Is Mayhem on a quilt? What I can see of whatever she’s sitting on looks really cool. 🙂
