The high temperatures of the summer months seem to be a thing of the past. It’s much more pleasant outside than it has been for a long time. The windows are open, the birds are chirping, the locust are singing. And the hostas are blooming beautifully. These particular ones are ‘Invincible.’ They have glossy green […]
I had a very busy week last week. DD and DH were at camp. DH is the director, so I help with organizing the registration forms, compiling lists, etc. I also make the camp “yearbook.” That’s 11 pages, printed both sides, full of camp pictures. It’s a special treat for the campers, but lots of […]
On Saturday, I made 36 jars of strawberry jelly. So yummy! This week, I hope to can peaches and make some peach jam, too. More about that in another post. Here’s the menu for the week. I’m keeping it very simple as my online Christmas Notebook class begins this week. I have a lot of […]
I am always amazed by the beauty that can be found in the smallest details. Our menu isn’t too detailed, though. Hot weather, humidity, lots of work to do…all good reasons for keeping it as simple as possible. Monday Fridge Food Tuesday Turkey Sandwiches / Homemade Buns Veggies / Ranch Dip Grapes Wednesday Grilled Pork […]
We’ve had a busy and tiring weekend. DH rode in RAIN (Ride Across INdiana), a cycling event, on Saturday. This was his tenth year to ride. He finished in 11 hours and 45 minutes, counting stops. Actual ride time was 9:55. DD#2 and I provided support. Food, water, cool washcloths, more sunscreen, etc. A good […]
A couple of garden pics…then the menu for the week. The front yard has been quite colorful the past few weeks. Several more weeks and the majority of the daylilies will be done blooming. Enjoy it while you can! ‘Apple Tart’ Monday Taco Salad Tuesday Sesame Shrimp Stir Fry Rice Wednesday Grilled Chicken Veggie Packets […]
Better late than never, right? I had the menu made and ready to post on Monday, but forgot about it. That’s what a holiday weekend will do for you. Hope your Fourth was fun! Monday Grilled Chicken Grilled Veggies in Foil Packets Garden Salad Corn on the Cob Tuesday Supper ~ Taco Salad Wednesday Homemade […]
We’re having a great time with our older son’s family who are here visiting for the week. The twins played in the mud puddles Sunday afternoon. DH reintroduced the girls to his mom, their great-grandma. And we’re getting and giving plenty of lovin’. Lots of fridge food (leftovers), so most of the time everyone does […]
Today is my sister Genny’s birthday. Happy birthday, Genny! Genny is a giver and she gives to me all the time. She comes down to help with any kind of project I want to do. She works full time and saves vacation days so she can come in November and help me decorate for Christmas. […]
Seems the weather is going to be cooler this week than last, but perhaps wetter. We’re not adverse to a little rain, though. The garden would appreciate it. The daylilies are providing a lot of color in the garden right now. This is the “common” daylily, otherwise known as a “ditch lily” around here. But […]
