I found this in a drawer today… Us…at a college banquet…seems like a long time ago… 1976…I guess that *is* a long time ago… DD thinks Dad has some kind of hairdo, though it’s hard to see in this dark picture… My, what we didn’t know then! It might have scared us off, you think? […]
I’ve been sick. Came on me quickly Monday evening. Fever, chills, etc. Big time. Today I am feeling better and able to be up and about. It’s times like these that make me especially thankful for laptops, Ipods, cell phones, and my Nook. I don’t have to leave my bed to check my email, look […]
I concocted this recipe years ago, when my four older children were in school. I was making peanut butter cookies one day and didn’t want to take a long time to cook them, so I put the whole batch on the cookie sheet and baked them. After they cooled, I thought they’d be better with […]
Turned over 300,000 miles, that is. DH’s 1990 Suburban has finally made it to the 300s. DH and DD drove it around the block a few times to catch the rollover. And no, they weren’t going 67 mph while taking the picture…the speedometer is stuck there. 😀 The Suburban has been a great vehicle for […]
I’ve been looking at glass straws online for a month or so. Wanted to buy a few and then came across a blog giveaway which I won! I received five glass straws from strawesome.com via the giveaway on Simple Bites. Four of the straws are clear glass, two different lengths and two styles (widths)…regular and […]
The apricot tree was loaded with fruit this year. After seeing the deer and the groundhog help themselves to fallen fruit, we sent the girls out to collect the yummy nuggets so we could make apricot jam. The first thing that had to be done was cull the fruit. A lot was thrown out, but […]
I enjoy taking macro photos of every day objects because of the detail those pics reveal. Here are a few of my favorites from the past weeks. An old ring found in my MIL’s button collection. Frozen blueberries. Tub of “butter” spread. The ridges are caused by the knife I use. A ladybug on the […]
After seeing this onion recycling tutorial online, we decided to give it a try. When DD made tomato soup, she saved the root end of the onions and we planted them in a little pot. They have started to grow. I’ll have plenty for a salad, sandwich or garnish when they are larger. DH doesn’t […]
I made Smokey Potato Cheese Soup for supper tonight and it was a hit. Just thought I’d let you know. 🙂 Wish I’d taken some pictures! I guess the lazy, laid-back, no-school, DD-went-to-play-with-friends kind of day made me forget all about my camera. My, my…can’t imagine how that happened! ~~Rhonda
I’ve been gone for two weeks. We went to Florida for vacation, then up the east coast to visit our son’s family. I stayed there for a few extra days to babysit the grands while DH and DD came on home. I flew home yesterday. I loved having some time with the twins and their […]
