A quiet week for a change. 🙂 Flickr’s Macro Mondays’ theme this week was “calm” and that’s the kind of week I’m having. Except for one large project, but it’s a fun one. Monday Turkey over Rice Green Salad Steamed Sugar Snap Peas Tuesday Chef Salad Wednesday Fridge Food Thursday Hamburgers Homemade Buns Veggies / […]
I made a menu for last week, but didn’t get around to posting it. And this week, I’m running late. But better late than never! Our family company is gone and our exchange student heads home tomorrow. We will all miss her, but DD is especially going to miss this new friend. Monday Hamburgers on […]
We’ve had a fun week with our French exchange student. She has been introduced to Oreo cookies (LIKE!), beef jerky (doesn’t like), oven fried potato wedges (like!), cotton candy (like!) and Oreo ice cream (LIKE!). 🙂 She is polite and kind, volunteers to help willingly around the house, and is excited about everything we show […]

Yesterday afternoon, DH and I drove north to visit with my parents and two of my sisters. We took Dad out to eat, in celebration of Father’s Day. We sat at the restaurant for an hour and a half. A good visit and some interesting talk with Dad about his passion, Civil War history. On […]
It’s hot and humid outside, but the garden is a blaze of glorious color and it’s impossible to stay inside when the daylilies are in full bloom. My choices for the menu are easy-to-make ones. Pizza Hut is a special request from DD#1 who will be leaving this week for a summer in NY. Chicken […]
Daylily season is here and we are spending every possible moment in the yard. While the daylilies call from the garden, our menus will contain a lot of quick and easy food. The exception to that general rule is tonight. Yesterday afternoon, DH and I drove to my niece’s house and picked up ten chickens […]
Happy Memorial Day! I hope you had some meaningful celebrations as well as some fun today. This morning, DH took his mother to the cemeteries and she enjoyed being at Old Salem for the Memorial Day service. This afternoon, we got outside for a bit and I took a lot of garden pictures. I’ll post […]
My side of the family came yesterday to celebrate my Dad’s birthday. And my birthday. And other family May birthdays. 🙂 All my sibs were here with bits and pieces of their families. With so many family members (and some living across the ocean) it is hard to get everyone here at the same time. […]
