Let the Cookie Extravaganza Begin!
It’s that time of year. “Election Season?” Well, yeah, but that’s not what I’m talking about… “Autumn? Leaves falling? Raking? I didn’t know there were leaves to rake in Nebraska…” Yes, that too…but keep with me here… It’s COOKIE TIME! “So soon?” In the Vollmer house, yes. Actually, this year is going to be extra … Read more
Like Father, Like Son

Spring Splendor!

Well, someone needs to tell my flowers about that, since my crocuses and daffodils are opening up, just like all over the rest of central North Carolina. Seriously confused, they are. I didn’t mind the pretty … Read more
