I am FINALLY BACK (no pun intended....) and have a GIVEAWAY to the Cheesecake Factory!

Hello to all of my followers and friends! I am finally "back" from my back surgery respite. I had a few bumps in the road in my recovery, which prolonged my "normal" routine, but I happy to report that I am back to blogging again! I hope you are well and enjoying your summer.  I am finally rid of the pain I was in prior to the surgery (thanks to an amazing doctor I think I am now in love with since he eliminated my pain!) I am just trying to get through the next six weeks where I have to be a bit extra careful not to do anything too strenuous.

My summer thus far has been somewhat limited due to my surgery; I have had to keep a pretty low profile.  While I love gardening and even cut my own lawn despite my entire neighborhood always keeping their lawns up by hired hands, I unfortunately cannot do it this year. I seriously pine over my inability to dig in the dirt in my front yard and smell the cut grass from mowing!  I have yet to go to the ocean, something I love to do. The Long Island oceans are vast and stunning; if you ever get an opportunity to make it to our seashore, I recommend a daytrip if you can swing it!  In any event, I am sure that I will get out there before this summer ends and make the most of all that I can do.

I have been working on some great blog treats, discounts, giveaways and more while I have been away, so definitely stay tuned! There is lots underway and lots of exciting treats to come.

And speaking of that.....since I am officially back to the blog, I am celebrating.  I have a $25.00 giftcard to giveaway to one of my favorite restaurants-the Cheesecake Factory!!!! YUM!!!! If you would like to have a chance to win this and celebrate summer with me, here's what you do:
