Before we begin... a great BIG thank you to everyone who left a comment on my blog last week. I had eye surgery and  was recovering...I did not visit or comment much! I appreciate every sweet comment and every one who participated in ON THE MENU MONDAY and TUTORIAL TIPS AND TIDBITS! I'm much better and can see great... back to normal...ready to visit... thanks everyone for your prayers and good thoughts!

Are you capturing the last ounce of summer? Even though I can't wait for fall... I am giving summer it's last hurrah by hosting a Labor Day family weekend... so we will be celebrating the remains of summer in a big way...

Lot's of family... lots of food... lots of fun!

 I am looking forward to our big croquet tournament on the side lawn!!!! Everyone is to wear white and bring their most civil manners ( do you hear me boys?). I'm planning a great spread on the side lawn, old fashioned libations and prizes!  We are a rather competitive group, so this should be a blast!

When I say goodbye to everyone on Monday evening... I will also say a fond farewell to summer. The first sign of fall at StoneGable will be the big seasonal wreath I 'll be hanging on the front door!

Have a blessed, safe and fun LABOR DAY!

The recession is hitting everyone... and Sherry at THE CHARM OF HOME has a very informative AND yummy post on RECESSION ERA COOKING helping us stretch our already skimpy food dollars! Great post and good food!!!
