The recipe this month is Crab Meat Salad. It is my family’s favorite summer salad — especially my son’s. After my husband passed away, my son would come over and cut my grass. When he was done with yard work, I would have his favorite summertime lunch ready — which was Crab Meat Salad. He’s still mowing my grass — and now he brings his son (my first grandchild) and we get to play together while Josh mows. And when he is done, all three of us have lunch together!

May God bless you and your family this summer!

“She gets up while it is still night;
she provides food for her family.”
(Proverbs 31:15)
