Happy Friday everyone!  I hope you have plans to get out and enjoy this gorgeous summer weekend!  I’m heading off to spend some quality time with my Dad, who is visiting for the weekend and seeing our new neighborhood (and apartment) for the first time!  I’m looking forward to taking him for a walk up to our local park and to some of our new favorite neighborhood restaurants.  But in the meantime…

Happy Friday everyone!  I’m anxious to get a start on the weekend, particularly since I get to hang out with this awesome lady (and amazingly talented writer) tonight!  Other than that, I’m looking forward to a relaxed, lazy weekend and escaping this swealtering summer heat.  Hmmm… maybe strawberry lemonade with some of my remaining strawberry supply?  Anyway, I’ll be back next week with Father’s Day cards and lots, lots more!  But in the meantime…
