My Best Birthday Gift Ever!

Howdy Gal Pals!

I hope you are all enjoying your summer.  I know I am.  Thought I would share with all of you the highlight of my summer.  This year we made the 12 hour trek by car to visit with our family in upstate NY where we spent our 4th of July week with them.  This is a particularly special time for us because there is so much to celebrate during this week.  My birthday falls on the 2nd and my husband's is on the 6th.  But this year was a very special birthday for me, unlike any other birthday celebration I have ever experienced.

Good Morning Gal Pals!

Lately I've noticed that my recent posts seem to evolve around recipes mostly.  Well, not this one!  Today I want to address a topic that has been bothering me lately; Facebook!  Need I say more?  I know for many of us, its a great way to keep in contact with friends and see what they are up to as well as a way to network.  But, at the same time, I'm sure it is safe to say that Facebook has created some tension amongst your close friends or relatives at times or even rubbed you the wrong way when one of your "friends" has divulged way too much information about a private topic.  It poses the question: What happend to the days where ladies acted like ladies and where intimate details of your private life were shared over a cup of coffee with a close girl friend or left in the bedroom with your husband where it belongs?!  It seems as though now days no topic off limits or too personal to share with your closest 500 friends.  Really????
