Summertime And The Living Is Easy

 Summers here at the Jersey Shore are filled with festivals, flowers,
 summer storms, sunshine, boats and ice cream.

"Someone saved my life tonight"
We found this little guy in the middle of the road and helped get him to safety.

Cracker Barrel"s Hot S'mores Campfire Desert
This was an oh so good, so sweet...a real treat.

I love a good storm...this lead to the best summer storm so far.


Rita's Ice ~ Juicy Pear there is no better flavor.


We had our annual Family Reunion...
the weather was beautiful, we had a great turnout and a lot of fun.
I haven't gotten the group picture yet, but there were a lot of us.


We went to the Ocean Grove Craft Show
One of the biggest and best in this area...right on the ocean.

And it's on the bucket list too!!

Mister Softy...the icecream of my childhood.


The summer festivals here at the Jersey shore are epic.


Gambler - this is a commercial fishing boat,

All summer long we love to watch the boats at the inlet.

And the below picture is The Jamaica




Yummy cupcakes from
I have visited this place many times,
the link above will take you to one of my many posts about this bakery.
Kimme was a rockstar, now she owns the bakery.


Our white corn on the cob is awesome...
we will definitely be going back for more.

Hello, Debbie
Happy July! Fun summer time photos. I wish the Misty Softy ice cream came down my street. I am glad you helped the turtle cross the street. The cupcakes look yummy! Take care, have a great day!

You are quite a talented photographer. All of your photos look fabulous! This post does make me think of summer at the Jersey shore!! We went to Avon By The Sea on Saturday. It was 95 degrees at home in Bucks County and 85 at the beach! We had a lovely day with the kids and grandkids!

It looks like a fun summer for you. We are in the lakes region so much the same here only on the larger lakes.

I am sure that turtle thanks you very much :) We saw one in the middle of the road but we didn't stop to help him. that s'more reat looks good, I made a Keto brookie the other day that we have been enjoying. Wow that cloud does look mean, glad it didn't turn into a tornado. Glad your family reunion went well, ours is in August this year. Looks like the festival was quite big, it has been too hot for me to go yo anything.
I will have to say I miss the taste of real cupcakes being on this keto diet.
