We had a fun Easter weekend. Older Son and his family were here for Sunday dinner, an egg hunt and decorating sugar cookies. A full afternoon! The Bacon Brown Sugar Pork Tenderloin was delicious! We will be having this again. And we had nice weather for the egg hunt. We decorated spring themed sugar cookies […]
We had a fun weekend with the twins visiting. They had lots of fun on Saturday with Pa. He let them explore the heavens with his phone’s constellation/star finder. Snow White was so excited when she found the sun! Rose Red found the Big Dipper. They found planets and constellations, the Summer Triangle, and stars. […]

My mother called this clivia, but that isn’t the correct name. She took a start from this plant at her great-uncle’s house years ago. It is commonly called an […]
Today is cold and windy. Overcast and snowing now and then. I’m thankful for our warm home. A good day for Winston to catnap in a comfy spot. I finished the menu for the week. I had it laid out yesterday but didn’t get around to finishing the post. Here it is. The Slow Cooker […]
I tried a new-for-me recipe this week. I based my version on this recipe that I found online. Roasted Ranch Potatoes with Bacon and Cheese I have to use dry onion (and not a lot of it) in dishes I make because my husband is allergic to onion. The dry onion flakes don’t seem to […]
