So today, after watching my tennis lover Roger Federer win his 15th grand slam, I saw that we both married in April 2009! and ironically, our original date was the same date as his, April 11.
And! his opponent, the serving speed-demon Andy Roddick, was also wed in April 2009!
And...for the heck of it, I wiki'd April 4th. It gives you a list of all the events and births that occurred on that day. It's REALLY interesting.
I made these for some summertime sweetness. They were quite yum! Peachy Popsicles: I threw together some simple syrup (1 part water:1 part sugar) and fresh peaches peeled and cut into a blender. Then poured it into the molds. They turned out being a little soft...not your typical hard icy popsicle. I think next time I'm going to try and make them a little harder.
