A birthday gift, Blokus has proven to be lots of fun. It is easy to play, at any skill level, and can be used by 2-4 players. We broke it out this afternoon and gave it a try. Fun! ~~Rhonda

cold and windy today, but yesterday smelled like spring
February 18, 2009 – 2:44 pm
Yesterday, as I drove to school to pick up DD, the air smelled like spring. It’s on its way! We went out to do some yard work today, but, even though the thermometer said 50, the 16 mph wind said 40. Too chilly for me. We put down one load of mulch and picked up […]
better cheesy potato / sausage soup
February 17, 2009 – 11:46 am
Recently I posted a cheesy potato soup recipe, which was pretty good, but I have a better one now. 🙂 I have a tried and true recipe for a potato sausage casserole that I often take to church dinners. I modified that to make soup for a church dinner and made it again last weekend […]
enchiladas
February 16, 2009 – 8:03 pm
Time for a confession…I have never made enchiladas before. I was looking for a recipe to use a pound of ground beef for supper and came across this enchilada recipe. Another confession…I improvised quite a bit. Is that fair when you’ve never tried a particular kind of recipe before?? These are the ingredients for the […]
cat antics
February 16, 2009 – 12:31 pm
It takes no more than a bit of ribbon to put the kitties in a playful mood. Zilli wanted a turn with the ribbon… …but it doesn’t take much to set Zak and Zilli off when they are playing together. Before long they were flying around the room… Happy peeked in to see what was […]
strawberry shortcake
February 12, 2009 – 10:14 pm
Yesterday, DH came home from the grocery store with some strawberries that smelled SO good! …like *real* strawberries. 🙂 I was inspired to make some spur of the moment strawberry shortcake. I used this recipe from Southern Living. 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons sugar 1 stick butter, […]
baking bread
February 10, 2009 – 12:32 pm
I found a bread recipe on recipezaar.com that I modified it a little. It makes wonderful soft bread and is so easy my 11 year old daughter can make it by herself. The recipe, as originally given, had a lot of yeast in it so the bread would rise quickly to be ready in a […]
there’s a kitty in the sink
February 10, 2009 – 11:34 am
Niko prefers running water to the water dish. We bought a kitty fountain for him and all the cats love it. He hasn’t asked for water from the sink for a long time. I guess he thought it was a nice change of pace. ~~Rhonda 🙂
crock pot turkey
February 9, 2009 – 9:36 pm
Several people asked about the crock pot turkey we had on our menu for last Sunday’s dinner. Using the crock pot makes it a great meal for after church on Sunday. Easy and delicious. I use a boneless turkey breast (or a boneless “whole” turkey with dark and light meat) which can be found in […]
