Double Rainbow







We were out on a walk after dinner last week with our kids and saw the biggest, brightest rainbow I'd had ever seen. Here are some shots we took and one someone else took. A perfect ending to a perfect day.

Frappuccino




Last summer we discovered frappuccinos. We got a gift card from Starbucks for a free one, so we tried it. The idea of cold coffee was not appealing at first, but ...WOW! what a beverage. We were hooked from that very first one. So, now that is our favorite summer drink. We found ourselves going to Starbucks far too often, so decided to go on the hunt for a frappuccino machine. Apparently, there is only one and it is made by Mr. Coffee. We bought it and now we can indulge ourselves everyday. What a treat!

It begins by brewing the coffee and dripping it into the lower portion where it is blended with the ice, cocoa, and milk. We highly recommend this!
