Why, hello there! Welcome back and Happy New Year!! It's been a long time. Happy News Time! I've decided to start dusting off the cobwebs and bringing back to life this blog. It has been seven long years since I have posted anything. I missed my outlet to sha…
So, for the past two months I have not been able to ready ANYTHING up close. Sigh..... Not what I really want to face - the need for bifocals. Today was Dr. day and surprise my script went down. I could read up close and see far away so with some luck bifocals or reading gl…
The puppies are getting bigger every day. They love the great outdoors and exploring.
One of my all-time favorite meals of comfort - Chicken Pot Pie There is just something about that creamy inside that is all warm and filled with delicious chicken and veggies. Plus you also have that wonderful flaky crust. Yummy! I had never attempted to make them bef…
Hugging Two... Two puppies. We have two puppies. Siblings. Male. Squabbles galore when together. (Georgie) What a way to start a new year. Not what I expected to say the least. We tossed the idea around of a Bulldog since Spencer is a HUGE UGA fan. Then he…
I have kept quiet for over a year now about Joe Paterno's passing and the whole scandal that has rocked my beloved university. Time to break the silence. This video speaks volumes about Joe Paterno. The poem is IF by Rudyard Kipling which also happened to …
Nate was put in charge of finding a recipe for us to make because I was all out of ideas. My only requirement was that it should be for the crockpot because I really did not feel like cooking. Off he scurried to go through the recipe books. I have to say it did not take him…
Wishing you a very Happy New Year. So hard to believe that it is 2013 already.
Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas.
Nut Roll - a family holiday tradition that I have not had in many years. I finally attempted again this year with success! I can remember eating this every year as a kid and loving every last morsel. As I got older, I would sometimes place a nice pat of butter on to…

Christmas songs bring and make wonderful memories of the holiday season. Who doesn't find themselves singing along to the Chipmunks when they hear them? I was treated to receiving a cd to listen to and one to give away. This is your chance to win a FREE copy of …
I am one for always trying out new bread recipes. I was very curious when I stumbled upon a recipe that you let rise over night. Really?! This one did not fail me and was so good. So very easy to make and had such wonderful flavor. You could even make this for yo…
"The willingness of America's veterans to sacrifice for our country has earned them our lasting gratitude." - Jeff Miller Please remember to thank a veteran or those currently serving our country. We would not be who we are today without those who ha…
We were up and out of the house early today to head up to Caesars Head State Park not far from us. The leaves have turned and it was a perfect time to take walk in the woods. We timed our arrival just right before some groups arrived. Perfect view of Table …
You know fall is in the air when you start baking with apples and pumpkin. I bought a donut mold last month just waiting for the right time to make some treats for the family. Nip in the air = Perfect time I was a bit skeptical that a baked doughnuts would tast…
Last Saturday we piled into the Jeep and headed north. The destination was to be a small town in SC but... we decided to check out another park with a look out for birds but.... we missed the turn off on a REALLY twisty, narrow road so... we just drove unti…
I simply had to share the Big 10 Mascots doing "Call Me Maybe." Great Job! You will need to view it on YouTube because of licensing content. It is worth it, you will smile. I may bleed Blue & White but I love Sparty *blush*. Watch Me ...
Yes, we now have another permitted driver in the house. I can't get over the fact that he can learn how to drive. (feeling old here) Nate could have went for his driving test last year when he turned 15 but driving does not really interest him. Seriously. I …
Mmmm...... Cheese Grits The first time I ever had them was in Charleston, SC with shrimp a few years back...delish! Yet I had never, ever made them. I needed a carb for a side last week with some grilled chicken. Cheese Grits ..why not?! Need a recipe and decided up…
