I thought this vendor had some unique furniture pieces at reasonable prices. I also did love the t-shirt, and cups! I also thought their name was quaint!
Since someone wanted the recipe, I decided to reblog it!

This was the sunset from our porch steps! We are on the West side of a Hill with much of the town to the west of us. Without walking to the top of the hill, or driving elsewhere this is what we see. Have a great day!
I’ve had a photo of a Wood Duck on my “bucket list” for awhile. Each time the photo gets better. This photo is my best so far. Next time I will try to add my 2x extender to my 7-300mm telephoto!
In memory of our friend, John, who always enjoyed getting the grill going, to share a tasty meal with us!
BARBCUED SHRIMP was one of the tasty treats we enjoyed during our stay in the U.S. These were grilled by John Yoder, with a little of my assistance. If want to taste some good grillin’ you need to have one of John’s treats, including steak, chicken breasts, etc.
This Reblog is in memory of our good friend, John, who posed for this photo with his niece. Today, the day of his burial, would have been his 65th birthday, had he not succumbed to death! We will miss you, John! Our prayers go out for his widow, Rebecca. Praying for grace to sustain you in the days, months and years to come!!! John and Rebecca surely treated us like family!!! We cherish the many memories we have, of time with this fine couple!

We can thank the Native Americans for naming April’s Pink Moon as well as the other eleven full moons throughout the year. And because there were so many tribes across North America, full moons often have different names based on region. For example, the Pink Moon is also called Sprouting Grass Moon, Egg Moon, and Fish Moon. Moon names often have to do with activities and events that occur within the coinciding month.
The European Colonists adopted the Native American full moon names, and thankfully, the names were preserved and passed on.
