Cherries Jubilee...a big success!

 

GIRL'S TRIP To GRAFTON GETAWAY 2026
I made the cherries jubilee for the girls this weekend...a few of them didn't make it in the picture, because the ice cream was melting and I couldn't wait for them to get to the table! It was an awesome weekend, pictures soon!

Karaoke countdown

 

GIRL'S TRIP 2026 TO GRAFTON GETAWAY GUEST HOUSE,
We sang karaoke Friday night for hours! It was hilarious and the most fun ever! However there will be no videos posted here..we've all seen them though! It was so bad, it was good! We didn't do solos, we sang as a group if you can imagine!

 

Girls Trip to Grafton IL

 Here is our group before we left, Crystal, taking our picture as she does every year. We were going to Grafton Il to stay in a BnB, which was really an old renovated farmhouse. 


 

Gijrls Trip to Graphton Gateway Guesthouse

 

GIRL'S TRIP TO GRAFTON GETAWAY 2026
First night around the fire at Grafton Getaway guesthouse, the farm. We had chickens and a duck named Gary. We had lunch on the way at a place called the Old Mill, but there was no mill, it was a bar in a pole barn with lots of gaming. However, the food was marvelous!  Here we are by the firepit the first evening.

Cherries Jubilee, last practice

 If you're wondering why I have been making Cherries Jubilee every week recently it's because I am going on a girl's trip with 12 other ladies tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday and I have been tasked with making it for everyone. I have never made it for that many people before, so we will see how it goes!Anyway, I know how to make fire..stay tuned.

Good bye hummingbirds

The bees are still out and about, but today was the last day we saw a hummingbird. They were very late to leave this year, so we got to enjoy them a little longer...
