Do you love old furniture and accessories? I sure do and always have. I just try to imagine the history of each special piece. Our family business is selling some of what we collect. It’s such a rush to find old treasures. Quite often it’s hard to sell what we find and every now and then I find a piece that will stay with us forever. This antique rocking horse is one of them. I was thrilled to find it. It’s missing it’s head and the paint is pretty much worn off, but I’m in love.
I love an inexpensive craft idea and I think drinking straw crafts fall under that category. Straws can be so versatile from cute kid’s projects to beautiful and expensive looking home decor. Here’s some ideas I’ve found that I for sure want to try out.

I love to eat all kinds of salads in the summer. Pulling and eating veggies and fruit out of the garden is something I look forward to every year. Anything heavy in this hot weather just doesn’t appeal to me. Here’s an oldie, but goodie, recipe from my grandmother. It’s a great standby recipe that I use for most family gatherings and is a huge hit.
This is the perfect summer dessert; so refreshing and delicious. If you’re on a diet you’ll want to make an exception for this.

How to Have the Best Summer of Your Life at 65+
Author: Mary Kremer
My in-laws are some of the most active people I know. At 65 and 75, with 32 grandkids and counting, they manage to volunteer Tuesday-Thursday of every week, teach HAM radio classes, make hand sewn birthday presents for each grand kid, and spend the weekends having dinner with various children and grandchildren. Of the myriad of lessons they’ve taught me, one is age definitely doesn’t have to slow you down.
So, the summer is upon us, and it’s not too late to make it the best one of your life. Here are a few tips on budget-friendly hobbies, activities, and vacations to help you get started on your adventures and spend more time with the people you love.
Start a Garden
I’m crazy for anything citrus especially in the summer when I’m looking for something refreshing and not heavy. Here is a roundup of some fun recipes and ideas.
Lately I have been seeing people use old pulley’s in the coolest ways and I love the industrial farmhouse look. I wanted to incorporate something like that in our home.
I bought this old pulley on Etsy for $13!
