Garlic Dill Refrigerator Pickles

SIX months since I shared a recipe.  SIX.  Oh wow.  How does that happen?  Well, today I am making Garlic Refrigerator Pickles and thought you might like to make some too.

We stopped at Central Market for groceries the other day and they had these great cukes.  Let's get started.

To make 3 pints, you will need about 2 pounds of pickling cucumbers.  I have about 2 1/2 and am working with quarts, so we'll see how it goes.  I love that it's not an exact science.

Just Us Two -- SipStir, Dallas Zoo, Mom, OHB

It's a Just Us Two type of day.  Well, at least for part of it.  Come along and let's see what all we can see and do.

We're starting out with a new to us coffee shop called sip/stir.  I think it's super cute and a great play on words.

It has a nice open floor space with lots of great places to sit, both for group and individual needs.

Killer Storm

What a great morning!!!  I rearranged furniture in the house to bring in the family heirloom that we picked up yesterday.  It now has a new home in my room.  Mister mowed the yard and we just feel so good about it all.

Rhiana, Malea, Elena Come to Visit - Days 6-8 DMA, Aquarium

6th - It's another wonderful day and this is the bestest good morning picture I have.  When I met my sweetie, this one was his first "baby".  Look how she's grown.  French toast and grapefruit --- done.  It's time to go play.

Rhiana, Elena, Malea Come to Visit - Days 4&5 Arboretum, White Rock Lake, Cousin Time

4th - The girls have requested time at the Children's Garden and I'm happy to oblige.  Since it's Rhiana's first time here, I'm hoping she sees it through a teacher's eye and finds things she can add to her class back in Montana.  Let's go before it gets too hot.

Rhiana, Elena, Malea Come to Visit - Day 3 Candytopia

Day 3 dawns and we have PLANS!!!  Just one little cute item as I slept in a bit and this is the scene is Mister's office when I wake.  It appears that Grandpa has set her up wonderfully as he sits and works.

Rhiana, Elena, Malea Come to Visit - Days 1&2 - Dallas Zoo

With all that went on last year, we skipped "Gammy Camp" for a summer and so it's been two years since most of the grands have come to play for a bit.  I'm super excited for it to begin and we're getting it started with my girls from Montana.  Due to scheduling, my daughter, Rhiana, is coming for the visit too.  Life is good.

1st - There was a miscommunication over arrival time and I am hosting a Red Hat event this morning while the plane is landing.  (LINK)  Fortunately, my sweet Mister is able to pick up and while I finish up, they are off to get lunch  at Whole Foods
