Night…I mean, Afternoon at the Museum
I don’t need to repeat what’s already been told quite nicely. Click forth and enjoy. Thanks Maryann!
What a World We Live in Now…
Have you ever received one of those forwarded e-mails about how “back in the day”, you could go outside to play and absolutely take off around the neighborhood and Mom and Dad trusted you to be safe, play nicely and be home by dinnertime? We received this flyer for a fund raiser today at church…one … Read more
Primitive
‘Nuf Said. Age 17. Love the glasses. And the bangs. If only you could see the shirt I had on — I remember distinctly…an enormous PSU tank top, must have hung down to my knees. Probably from Family Clothesline, one of those $1.99 bargains?
Birthday Parties, Cary, NC Style
Today is Timmy’s 3rd birthday. Today was Timmy’s 3rd birthday PARTY, too. In part because of all the wonderful parties we’ve been invited to, and in part because this is Timmy’s last birthday party while we’re living in North Carolina (sniff sniff), he had a pretty big shindig. From 2008 01 26 Ti… For Jacob, … Read more
PW Cobbler #2
Tonight I used up the rest of my blueberries and made Pioneer Woman’s Cobbler #2. It was a half recipe (I only had 3 cups of berries), which worked out pretty well, but this cobbler is definitely less sweet that Cobbler #1. That’s probably why PW insists that this one be served with vanilla ice … Read more
A Pretty Piece of Flesh…*
*Okay, who knows where that one is from??? (Margaret, you can’t answer…I know you know this!) So this evening I took that chuck roast out of my fridge and plopped it on the grill. In accordance with the recipe, I seared both sides on high (about 5 min. each side) then turned the grill down … Read more
Floating Heads
Dave said I should talk about this one. The boys and I were looking at the scrapbook my Mom made for my 30th birthday (it’s really really awesome — covers through age 8!), and Dave comes across this portrait. It was taken in summer 1981, so I was 7. “Who’s that little boy in the … Read more
Mellowing Spirits Since 1866…Now it’s mellowing my beef roast.
So tonight I’m going to use my other chuck roast. When I bought the chuck roast expressly for the Pioneer Woman pot roast recipe last week, I found a great buy-one-get-one-free special, so the 2nd one has just thawed and is ready for action. (NOTE: The pot roast was delicious, but I think I might … Read more
On this cold day, let’s think about something warm!
In this cold weather, I was thinking fondly about the butterfly garden I had planted in my backyard in Florida. I planted most of the stuff in July 2003, after my summer veggie crop croaked from either baking to death in the hot FL sun or rotting to death from torrential FL rains. But these … Read more
Is this lazy?
Who thinks this might be a lazy thing to do? This is a first for me, making uniform thank you cards. But HOLY COW, thanks to Google Picasa and Walgreen’s, it’s quite easy to do. I was able to do everything while sitting on my ass at the computer…and the next time I swung past … Read more
