So Here

 
...in Kentucky since Father's Day Sunday with my daughter , Sophie  , two kittens ,Eddie and his daughter in tow .
 
He brought along  his youngest daughter  to help us move out of our Massachusetts rental home .
She's a sweetie , and boy can she clean and help pack.
 
 We stopped off in Ohio to see our  friends and went with their family  to King's Island amusement park by Cincy .
Steff got two kittens along the way at the  friend's house and is tending to them at the other house.  
 
Currently I'm being shuttled  between two houses ( they are one mile apart)and  doing stuff  in each .
 
I am adjusting to having  a teen and two younger kids around me on a regular basis .
 
It takes a lot of energy, but  they are really great  kids , so it's all good.
 
A  lifestyle with more people in it  is going to take some time  to get use to as Steff and I have been basically alone since we left my parents in Texas  nearly two years ago.
 
Eddie and his family are very helpful and friendly people , and that makes this transition  so much easier.
 
Some days I wake up and can't believe  how life has changed   over the past few years.
 My life has taken so many twists and turns ,  yet I am still standing and  am very happy to boot  .

Local Flayvor

On one of our last raw milk runs here in Massachusetts before moving,  we ran into this  local specialty :
 
asparagus ice cream sign
Yup,you read that correctly.
  
We each took a bite and decided  that while it would never  be a personal frontrunner favorite  like say sweet cream, dulce y leche ,chocolate brownie ,hazelnut , blood orange or  passionfruit sorbet ...it was not as gacky as one would suspect.
 
It was spicy/nutty/chunky , however, fitting it into our ice cream repertoire was not something  either of us had an inclination  to run out and do.
 
Being the culinary adventurers that we are  , we had to at least give it a try .
  This  dairy confection  is not a contender for my apres  dinner delights , and shall remain in the realm of been there, done that  and just leave the t-shirt  on the rack cause clingy cotton 's not my thang.
