Blue Willow Inn

Blue Willow Inn

To complete my birthday celebrations, we met my brother and nephew in Social Circle at the Blue Willow Inn Restaurant.   We’ve been there quite a few times because the food is delicious and it is conveniently located between our house and my brother’s house in Madison. Today, there were bluebirds swooping overhead and finding […]

Six Months till Christmas

Six Months till Christmas

If it’s six months till Christmas that can only mean one thing.  Long layaway at KMart? Nope.  Catalog shopping at Montgomery Ward? Nope.  It can only mean that it’s my birthday! I was awakened to the delicious aroma of breakfast made even more delicious by the fact that I wasn’t cooking it.  I thought maybe my mom […]

Creative Krispies

Last night I made the offspring some Rice Krispie Treats.  I used the new red, white, and blue Rice Krispies.  Look for them at Walmart! Olivia told me that she wanted me to make them in a creative shape.  Are you kidding me?  After a long day of cleaning which I always end up doing all […]

Caramel Corn and a Happy Birthday Box

I received a very happy box in the mail today.  My friend Nancy and her mom Dorothy sent me a box of goodies today.  What a wonderful surprise!  Inside was a couple of pie pan additions to my favorite pattern, Currier and Ives by Royal China.  Also in the box was a brush and ceramic tray with […]

New Driver’s License

Lucky me.  I got to spend the day at the DMV getting my license renewed. I drove 25 minutes to my friendly DMV office and got my number like you would get at the deli counter except here you don’t get roasted turkey samples or the promise of an Italian sub later. I had spent […]

Bean Dip and Traveling Scholars

Our very long-time friend Ethan came over for dinner last night.  He and Olivia have been friends ever since meeting under the TattleTaleToad in kindergarten. He came bearing gifts of flowers… and dessert. We were excited to hear about his recent travels in China and Spain.  He is quite the adventurer. Ethan is always fun […]

Marshmallow Eagles

Marshmallow Eagles

I am trying out another Fourth of July recipe today.  This one is for Marshmallow Eagles. I finally found a use for the Jumbo Marshmallows.  They are way too big for roasting on the fire because they don’t cook to the middle, obviously too big for hot cocoa (well not too obvious because I did try it) […]

Creamy Tomato Pasta with Fried Mushrooms

Creamy Tomato Pasta with Fried Mushrooms

I am admittedly a better baker than cooker.  That’s why you see more baked goods and desserts on the blog than any other food.  But I do want you to know that we eat other things around here besides sweets.  Sometimes the daily food we eat isn’t very photogenic or interesting so it doesn’t make the […]

Davis attended his college orientation at Berry College.  The name of the orientation is Soar. Normally a college orientation isn’t that exciting so hopefully I can dazzle you with brilliance to keep you interested.  Here I go. The sky did its best to welcome us to the college. We started off in the Ford Dining Hall […]
