Fresh Tomatoes and Crabcakes!



I spent this past weekend visiting my sister who lives about 100 miles away in a small town called Weems, VA.  I couldn't resist posting this picture of their post office that has a beautiful view of the Rappahannock River.

We had so much fun going to yard sales, thrift stores and consignment shops.  We both brought home some great bargains.

My sister is a great cook and makes the world's best crab cakes.  Her secret is using the recipe on the back of Old Bay Seasoning.  A dinner of fresh seafood and summer vegetables is my favorite!

President Obama was in my neighborhood on Saturday and stopped by a produce stand about a mile from my house to purchase Hanover tomatoes.  Our county is famous for its tomatoes. 

I hope you had a great weekend too!

  6. I don't know who that friend was, I assume he belonged to the postal worker inside.
