An Afternoon Picnic


Friends came over yesterday afternoon for a picnic, conversation and fort-playing. As the kids ran off to the woods, my friend and I settled in for a good chat over homemade frappacinos - so rich and good! We eventually laid out lunch, made up our sandwiches in the kitchen and headed outside to the picnic tables under the trees - the Lord held off the rain for us and we had a lovely afternoon.

For our picnic lunch we enjoyed:

* Make-Your-Own Subs
* Sour Cream and Onion Chips
* Fresh cherries and watermelon slices
* Lemon and Grape Cooler (float grape Kool-Aid ice cubes in glasses of lemonade)
* Ice Cream Sundaes in waffle bowls with toppings and fresh strawberries from the garden

Homemade Frappacinos
In a blender, combine the following and blend until smooth:
- 1 tsp. instant coffee (decaf or regular) stirred into 1/2 C. water
- 2 C. whole milk
- 1/4 - 1/3 C. sugar
- 1 1/2 C. ice cubes
If desired, add caramel or chocolate topping for added goodness!
