Hello friends, and happy Farmhouse Friday 447!  I’m so glad you’re here.  I get excited to read and reply to your comments.  Are you in full summer mode yet?  Have you planned a vacation?  Are you having out-of-town guests?  I’d love to hear all about it. 

  

Coming up next week is a Design Challenge (formerly called Pinterest Challenge), and we are sharing patriotic ideas.  I’ll be sharing different easy-to-do vignettes around my home.  My friends have all sorts of great ideas to go along with it.  So, please be sure to stop by and check them out.  

FARMHOUSE FRIDAY 447

This week, our theme will be Patriotic Ideas!  Show us how you plan to celebrate our 250th year!

I have a friend who used to be a caterer, and every time I am at her home, she serves the most delicious food.  After I came home, I had a new summer menu on my brain.  Since our theme last week was summer, I thought I’d feature yummy summer menu ideas. 

I’ve never heard of Pineapple Lemonade so this sounds intriguing and yummy!  Pop over to Organized Island and get the recipe from Raquel.  I have a feeling it’s going to become a summer staple around here!

Here’s another refreshing looking drink!  Ann’s Entitled Life shared her easy recipe for a Cherry Margarita Cocktail.  It looks like you might need a spoon!  Definitely worth checking out!

Anyone having a party?!  If so, Nathalie from the Press Print Party blog has a summer punch that I bet will be a hit!  Stop by and see for yourself why I’d have more than one or two glasses full!  

Missy from Sonata Home Design shared her recipe for Tropical Curry Chicken Salad.  I wonder if she knew I love curry and could eat chicken salad every single day?  I’ve already added the ingredients to my shopping list.  Thank you Missy!  😉
