ReplyDeleteI visited your blog today, and I loved all the incredible food on here. You have so many wonderful dishes, and my girls love to cook and are always trying to find new recipes. While I was reading, I noticed that me and my daughters have alot of the same interests as you. They love barbecues, picnics, and the beach. In fact, they both live very close to it and go there often. We just started a new blog, and we would love it if you could visit us and follow. I would really enjoy coming back to visit with you and seeing all your delicious, fabulous dishes. Hope to hear from you, and have a sweet day. Oh, 'Remember the Titans' is one of my favorite shows too. I never get tired of watching it.
