Hi Lindy! You are so sweet...but I dont have any major tooth whitening secrets. About 3 years ago my dentist had a special on custom whitening trays. He took an impression of my teeth and gave me a custom fitting tray and a few tubes of whitening serum. I used those the one time but havent done anything since. Im sort of a low maintenance gal (I even cut and color my own hair), so I havent given the whitening aspect too much thought, but its so nice of you to say I haves ice white smile 😄 thank you!

Fresh-Roasted Summer Garden Pasta Sauce
In the beginning, gardening seems like a lot of work. The planting, watering, fertilizing, and endless hours of weeding finally start to pay off, and you get to harvest fresh tomatoes from your own backyard. I like to eat them sliced up with salt and pepper, and we can eat plenty fresh on salads...

Lindy...thank you so much for asking about May and June. Last summer, June somehow got out of our fence and was hit by a car. We couldnt find her and searched for a week straight. Our sweet neighbor found her under a tree on their property and we think she was hit and disoriented and then ran to hide. Poor May was so sad and lonely...she stopped eating and became very lethargic. We found her dead in the flower bed a few weeks later. It breaks my heart to even think about it. It was very hard on our family.
