A Week in Pictures From Julie’s Jazz {Aug. 18th to Aug. 24th}

A reptile (and one beaver) meeting. My nephew collects rubber reptiles. Will took over the fabric playhouse over at Granny’s house.  He would not let anyone else play in it. We (Ben and I)  finally treated ourselves to smart phones. I had visions of being an Instagram celebrity.  I’ve posted a total of 5 whole…

Goodbye Blogger

I’m not going to sit here and rant about the shortcomings of Blogger and the virtues of WordPress.  Blogger is great and I still use it for my private kid-blog.  Blogger served me well for the last three years here on Julie’s Jazz. The Blogger platform is free, simple, and easy to use.  In fact, I’ve…

Little, plastic, bath toys (ducks).  First one over the falls earns one lucky winner a new truck. Posing with the duck race mascot,…

Classic Chocolate Milkshake

With all the blending I’ve been up to lately, I’ve decided I need a new blender.  Blendtec or Vitamix, that is the question.  Actually, the real question is whether or not I want to spend $400 to $600 on a blender!  Especially when I’m grilling on a 20 year-old Weber.  And, I could upgrade to a brand…
