Four Essential Crafts

Four Essential Crafts

The four of us who met this weekend each brought a craft to demonstrate to others.  We ended up with 4 great crafts to take home.  The first craft was a set of wine cork succulent magnets introduced by Terri.  First, you had to hollow out 5 wine corks.  That took a bit of digging […]

Screened Porch

Screened Porch

One of my favorite places in my house is my screened porch.  I showed you ‘before’ pictures a few days ago and now here it is all spick and span and ready for your visit. I decided to look up the phrase spick and span because even though I use it, I have no idea […]

Hooray!  I'm Purty Smart!!!

Hooray! I’m Purty Smart!!!

Guess where I went tonight. Cracker Barrel.  Isn’t it great to get a meal and an IQ test all in one sitting? Always ordered with oranges and cream soda. How do they make it taste like oranges AND cream? What delicious chemicals am I drinking? My seat was perfect.  It was right under the flute! We went […]

Easter Wreaths

Easter Wreaths

I love Easter decorations.  I love the pastel colors and bunnies and carrots, and I do love jelly beans and chocolate eggs.    To make this holiday even more special, we made some wreaths.  My mom, my friend Gina, and I made seven wreaths to adorn our doors. Each wreath was a little different although […]

This and That

This and That

Okay…..where have I been?  I haven’t posted anything in weeks!    Mostly I’ve just been hanging around doing the usual — cooking, cleaning, and working. Same old. Same old.  If you look at my posts I haven’t been a consistent blogger here since January 24.  Why does that date stick in my mind? Mostly because I was […]

Kitchen Counters

Kitchen Counters

I have been busy over the last few days decluttering my kitchen countertops.  Whenever I’m done I always wish that I had taken a “before” picture but when I start my clean up I am always too embarrassed to ever show the level of clutter to which I have shamefully sunk, so I don’t! Here […]

Rugs from Turkey

Rugs from Turkey

If you look at the tab up top of the blog in my house photos, you will see a blue and white rug in my living room.  I purchased that rug about 12 years ago when I was in Turkey on vacation.  We went to a showing of rugs as part of our tour and […]

Pizza Night and Eagle Eggs

Pizza Night and Eagle Eggs

Tonight was pizza night because I declared it a no-cooking night.  Our favorite is Jet’s Pizza.  It reminds me of Petrillo’s Pizza that we used to get in Ohio.  It’s amazing how a smell can take you back to a place from over 45 years ago to something that you barely remember, but this pizza […]

Chicken Croquettes

Chicken Croquettes

Not to be confused with croquet, which I do enjoy playing, these chicken croquettes are pretty tasty!  Here I am playing croquet in my backyard. My decolletage helps me to “crunch up” my opponents and “hit away.” (I looked up croquet jargon.  I was surprised at all that I didn’t know.) The cousins played a lot […]
