Summer Goodness...

.

So I will now say goodbye to my favorite month of the year with the best Margarita recipe and a few other favorites of the Summer.

A simple margarita deserves simple paper decorations and lots of twinkling lights... I will keep the tradition alive throughout the winter months.

I will also keep the mountains as a tradition and getaway in the summertime...

And just like that it will be all about pumpkins, pies and cinnamon brooms.

Enjoy the long weekend and please... Stay Sweet.

Mountain Lessons...

10 Things I learned while visiting the mountains.

1. I am a great mountain driver.

2. Both sides of your brain are engaged while driving through the mountains.

3.You should not read while riding in a car going up a mountain.

4. I get sick at 4118 ft of elevation and need time to acclimate.

5. People should honk their horns like they do in the mountains of Puerto Rico while turning narrow roads.

6. It is the best place to be unplugged. No cell signal.

7. Summers should always include a trip to a cool mountain and waterfalls.

8. Hummingbirds are hard to photograph. Butterflies are not.

9. Google maps on your iPhone is useless. A road map atlas is priceless.

10. At 41, I am still far too young to live on top of a mountain.

The most important thing I learned is that I need my family like crazy and I need his family as much as I need mine.
