In the "Life is Good" category . . .


Look what has come to America!!


We first discovered Magnum ice cream bars 11 years ago on our first trip to Europe. They were so wonderfully delicious! Later we learned that you could buy them anywhere in the world, EXCEPT the United States.

So, one of the first things Wes always does upon landing in a foreign country, is find the Magnum Bars. It only took him 20 minutes to find one after landing in Beijing! That was pretty impressive.

But now they are here--at Walmart!!

You can get them in all different flavors



Still need enticing? Here is a closeup. Yummy!!



My personal favorite is the double caramel. Smooth creamy ice cream is dipped in milk chocolate, then dipped in rich caramel and dipped in chocolate a second time.
Oh. So. Good!!!

Seriously--you are going to want to run to Walmart and get one!!

And in other good news . . . This is the view off my front porch right now. Okay, so I didn't actually take this picture, but if I did take a picture, this is close to what it would look like. Saguaro cactus and a rainbow!! Yes, believe it or not, it has been raining off and on all day.

I love it!! After hitting a 100 degrees last week, I am really enjoying being in the low 70's! And with moisture!

Lastly--my daughter Kathryn is home for two weeks. Hooray!! I wish she could stay longer but she is an adult and has to work for a living. Still, I am happy with whatever I can get.

Although, tonight after we ate, Wes ran off to his second night of meetings this week (he has meetings tomorrow night as well), Michelle ran off to mutual and Kathryn went over to visit the neighbors.

I was left at home alone to do the dishes.

Okay so life isn't totally perfect. But that just makes me even more grateful for rainbows and ice cream. :-)

Nearly Worldless Wednesday . . . How Can Anyone Be So Cute?!

I just love this little girl!!
And I am missing her terribly.
Thankfully we will see her again in a couple weeks!
And isn't this the saddest face?
She was wanting me to pick her up
So she reached out her hands and said, "Up".
This is why family vacations are hazardous to your health.
My girls made this dessert on our last night together.
Two chocolate chip cookies filled with ice cream and a brownie,
and topped with a mini drum stick!!

Now we are all on diets. :-)
May your day be a great one and may you find . . . joy in your journey.
