This weekend our neighbors had our family and the two other familys on our sweet street for lunch. They fixed a feast of barbequed pork, baked beans, two kinds of slaw, deviled eggs, fruit, lemon cake for dessert….it was amazing! The food was fabulous, but even better was the company. We have been blessed with […]

I was checking out of the grocery the other day…had to run in to get hamburger for dinner. Don’t you hate it when you have everything you need for dinner, except the main ingredient? Anyway, as I was checking out the cashier was telling the customer in front of me about having surgery on her […]

I am loving the spring in the mountains. Each day it is different. The mountains change with the sun and shade, clouds and leaves popping out. Houses we have seen all winter are now hidden…and so are mountains that we could see from our house. That is okay, now it is like living in a […]

I find it interesting to dedicate a day to “saving the planet”. I have been thinking about this for a while. I like that people are reminded to take care of their environment, but when I think about the way I was raised, I was taught to do that every day. We didn’t call it […]

This morning Kiley asked for pancakes. She dwreamed about them! So, about 9:45 I went into the kitchen to make pancakes. I noticed the strawberries needed to be eaten, so I cut those up while cooking the pancakes.

Once again I am watching my “comfort” movie. I don’t know if it is the story, the setting, or the music, but when I am a little blue, (or just cold!) I love to put in “You’ve Got Mail” and watch/listen to the movie. I have seen it so many times that Molly, 9, likes […]
