Afternoon Tea
Today my son and his wife treated me and my daughter in law’s mom to tea at one of the local attractions. They were grateful for all the help we have been giving them and also thankful for all we will be doing in the near future. The summer tea menu was light and refreshing […]
Blessed By Community
Today our community hosted a BBQ, so I made a delicious fruit salad to bring, my brother grabbed the chairs, and we headed over. Even though my brother is here sporadically, he knows a lot of the neighbors. Part of that is because he walks his dog around and meets people. Many of the residence […]
Dental Work
Last week I had a crown replaced on one of my back teeth. It is always torture to me to have any dental work done as I can’t open my mouth wide enough. Sometimes I even have bruises on my face. This past time, my jaw hurt, but thankfully there was no bruising. Although, because […]
Family Time
My 2 brothers and 1 sister were all together here today. We were missing our other sister to make up our “Fab Five”. We did go to our favorite German restaurant for lunch and my son and his wife joined us. The food was amazing as always and we enjoyed being all together. While we […]
Family Meal
Today my son had his moving POD delivered. He, his sons, and a friend got it all unpacked. I decided that it would be most helpful to provide food. I rented a cute little VRBO house for a couple of days, knowing the chaos and stress of moving. I found my way to the grocery […]
Pork Chops
My brother has been working hard at the cabin to get it ready to sell. It was finally ready for the photos yesterday. Today he came to the city to pick up his camper that was having some annual maintenance done. After he got the camper to it’s summer storage unit, he came to my […]
Sharing Bread
My daughter in law texted me tonight saying that she had made some cardamom buns and wondering if I would like one. I said yes please. She was out delivering, so brought one to me. It was funny as I had made a banana bread recipe with steel cut oats. When my daughter in law […]
Having Guests
I really had a hankering for shepherds pie for St. Patrick’s Day and wanted to make some Irish soda bread to go with it. That makes so much food and I thought it would be fun to share it. I invited my sons and their families over. Most of them had other plans. So my […]
Lenten Food
Today my son and his wife started on a road trip. They are visiting some south-eastern states to see if they may want to move there. They have talked for a couple years about living in a smaller community, especially now that our city has gotten so big and expensive. I talked to them for […]
Family Time
My favorite team was not playing in the Super Bowl today, but it’s always a good reason to get together with family and have food. Way before the game started, my sister and I watched some of the pre-game show. That’s when they told some really good stories of people overcoming the odds against them […]
