Crowd pleaser pasta salad....

Thank you for all of your kind words regarding loss and my grandmother.

It is always so wonderful to open my email and find such

kind words offered from friends across the miles. The internet

often gets a bad rap, but blogging has brought so many

fabulous women into my life.

I am trying my best to resume a normal routine, get back to blogging

regularly, address the piles of laundry, stock the cupboards etc.....

This weekend was BUSY but brought such excitement as 

my big girl's soccer team won the Oregon State Cup championship

game!  We are proud of her and her teammates on an undefeated

season in Oregon! Whoo-hoo!  

Our team celebrated the win

and season with a potluck get together on Sunday.  I made my go-to

crowd pleaser Greek Pasta Salad recipe and because picnic/cookout

season is upon us and I trust you are heading to lots celebrations

and gatherings, I thought I would share this recipe with you!
