Writing stories for children and adults for over fifteen years
I’ve had so many butterflies this year. One annual seems to draw them in more than others. I purchased several plants in the spring and shared them with my family. And I planted three throughout my yard. Maybe next year you would like to add this butterfly attractor.
Truffula Pink

I tweaked an online turkey roll-up recipe to suit my picky eaters. Since my granddaughter doesn’t eat any kind of cheese, I eliminated that from her roll-ups.
As you can see, I used Romaine lettuce and selected Roma tomatoes from my patio planter. The Big Boy tomatoes weren’t ready yet. I only used cranberry sauce, turkey, and romaine lettuce in the roll-ups for my granddaughter. I eliminated tomatoes from another tortilla.
This made four large tortillas.
Full Recipe
Mix softened cream cheese and cranberry sauce. Spread across the entire tortilla. In the middle, top with two-three slices of romaine lettuce, slices of Swiss cheese, two slices of deli turkey, and one layer of tomatoes. Eliminate any topping for picky eaters. Wrap each tortilla in plastic wrap. Store in refrigerator until serving time. You can trim ends away. A delicious treat for warm summer days. I hurried to cut the tortillas for my post, but make sure they are well chilled before slicing.
Enjoy!
School will be resuming soon, and children are in need of supplies. My church fills backpacks for our students.
Ever since I’ve attended my church, backpacks have always been passed out to students before school gets back in session. The children’s director purchases all the items needed, then we get a crew together to complete the project.
This year, we filled pencil cases two days prior to packing the backpacks.
Because the weather cooperated, we filled backpacks outside. We lined up tables and put items in order to pack. Then we placed the filled backpacks in storage containers until they get passed out.
This is such a blessing to students. Maybe you would like to start a similar project or donate a filled backpack to a local school. Even purchasing paper, pencils, or crayons is a great way to get started.
Once you’ve done this, you’ll never stop.
May students have a blessed school year.
