I found this BBQ chicken and cornbread casserole recipe. Thought it sounded interesting, and decided to do something similar. I sprayed the crock pot with cooking spray and put raw boneless skinless chicken breasts and thighs in the bottom. The recipe called for cooking the chicken prior to putting it in the crock pot, but […]
It’s been two years since we adopted Buttercup, Zilli, and Zak. They are fun additions to the family. I came across these pictures today while looking for something else. Zilli and Buttercup still play together almost every morning, early, chasing each other around the house at break-neck speed. And here they are on the ladder […]

Little plants, called proliferations, sometimes grow from the daylily flower stem. When the stem starts to turn brown, we cut them off and pot them. Here’s a closeup of one. A week ago last Wednesday, DH potted 27 daylily proliferations. ‘Little Fat Dazzler’ had 17. It was loaded with them last year, too. The other […]
DD has half an hour of piano practice and half an hour of guitar practice five days a week. She doesn’t practice on the day of lessons and she gets to pick one other day of the week as a “no music practice” day. She chose today this week, so I asked if she would […]
