Aunt Shannon's Raspberry Lemonade

1 1/2 cups lemon juice
1/3 cup lime juice
1 cup sugar
6 cups water
1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries

Mix together in a 2 quart pitcher. Let stand for at least an hour before using.


I made this raspberry lemonade a couple of weeks ago. It is delicious, perfect for a summer shower or BBQ!

Hagar Viking Kubb

"Kubb hails from the Baltic Island of Gotland off the southern coast of Sweden where it has been played for over 1000 years. Kubb means 'block of wood' in Swedish, and it is thought that the Vikings originally played it with blocks of firewood."

I love this game! My brother-in-law brought it back from Sweden and it was a hit last summer! If you are looking for a fun new yard game look no farther.

Found

Poppies are currently one of my favorite flowers. The artist describes this as a "print of an original photograph digitally mixed with painting." Whatever it is, I love it. It is only $25 and it comes framed!
This purse is called "Kiley goes to the City." Being a city girl at heart, I would love a trip to the city with this purse on my arm!
