Get Out and Enjoy the Countryside

As you probably all know, my husband and I love to travel. The best part is my husband loves to take pictures so we can enjoy the fun even after the vacation is over.

Have a wonderful summer,

DeSoto Wildlife Refuge

Mike and I took a short trip out to DeSoto Wildlife Refuge in Nebraska.

A fascinating place, the birthplace of a lake and the dead fork of the Missouri River, DeSoto is where the "Bertrand" sank, a merchant steamboat that held merchandise bound for the Montana Territory.

The Visitor Center holds a large assortment of the items retrieved from the boat.

Would love to go back when the birds are flying through.

At this time of year, the refuge is quiet and offers a peaceful place to rest and relax.

If you get a chance, you might want to stop by.

Rocky Mountain National Park

This is a great place to visit if you want to cool off in the summer.

As you can see there is still snow on the ground and on the mountains.

Starting the 4th of July Weekend

Hamburgers, hot dogs and fireworks.

The noise has already started. Fireworks are going off every night near my house. People enjoying the season and having fun.

Here is a quick dessert to enjoy on our country's birthday.

Ingredients:

Blueberries
Strawberries
A store bought angel food cake
Whip topping

Pick out a pretty glass bowl to make this in so it will display all the colors.

First cut the angel food cake in half. Then tear one half of the cake into small bite size pieces and lay them in the bottom of the bowl. Then sprinkle some blueberries on top, then strawberries, then the whip topping. Repeat the with the second half of the cake, and add the other layers.

Keep a few blueberries and strawberries to display on top.

A great treat for everyone and it looks pretty too.
