Richmond, Indiana - This is a very busy time here at the Harvey house. We have sold our home and we are moving. I forgot just how much work it is to move. The bad thing about it is we will be moving again in about 9 months. Our house sold pretty quickly so we moved into a spec home till our new one is built. On the other hand this is a wonderful time. Summer is finally here! I just love this season, sleeping with the windows open and waking up to the fresh air, listening to the birds sing early in the morning, sitting on the screened porch eating dinner in the evening. But the best part about this season is our daughter Lisa and our grandchildren Isiah and Madison come to visit over the summer! It is always good to have them here. The children have grown so much since we have seen them last. I am sending you all a recipe that Lisa’s sister-in-law, Shannon Rojas, brought to one of our picnics a couple of years ago. We plan to have it at our annual Fourth of July party. This wonderful bean dip lends an air of elegance to an ordinary picnic or barbecue. Talk about easy and delicious, you will love this one.
