I got tagged by my sister Stacy last week to do this meme. This one involves memories and even though I think I’ve always thought I had a good memory, when it comes to childhood memories, I’m not so good at all! Stacy & I are alike in that way, we don’t remember much of […]

Lately I’ve been trying to go through the many recipes I have collected and actually try them out! So I’m trying to do at least one new one a week. A couple of weeks ago I tried something for breakfast, French Toast Loaf. I don’t cook breakfast as much now as I used to, mostly […]

I’ve been working on my books for this challenge that Katrina is doing on her site, Callapidder Days. She has a list of participants up on her site as well. So far I have finished 3 of my books! Not sure if I’ll get to them all but at least I’m making progress. At Home […]

One year ago this week, we were at Disneyworld! Had a blast…..went with Trent, Shanna and the kids. We’ve talked about it some this week and Trent says that Shanna has the Disney bug again! It is such a fun place and that trip was one of the best that we had taken there before. […]

Thirteen Books I Have Loved It’s hard for me to pick only 13 because I have loved to read all my life, but these are some that I have loved and enjoyed over the years. 1. Nancy Drew books (favorite from childhood) 2. Little House on the Prairie books (loved these too) 3. A Wrinkle […]

One night recently we were looking for a movie to rent; had several on the list and had trouble deciding but finally settled on “Akeelah and the Bee” . I had wanted to see it when it came out at the theater but missed it. I loved this movie! It was a heartwarming story and […]

My calendar says that it’s October, but the thermometer here says that it’s 95 degrees! I mean I know it’s the South and all, but 95? I think it’s supposed to be like this all week……… No sir, that’s just not right at all!

Stacy had a friend at the butterfly gardens……….a good friend that stuck to her and liked her a lot while we were in the butterfly room! Come see!

While at Callaway Gardens, Stacy & I visited the chapel there. The first time we went, on Saturday, there actually was a wedding about to take place and it had a closed sign on it! So we just peeked at it from afar and went back on Sunday. Got there after the service but before […]

Last week a friend gave me a few “real” tomatoes, last ones of the season I would imagine. I ate some of them on a sandwich, my favorite way probably. But saved the rest of them for something for dinner one night. I decided to try a new recipe…….Tomato-Pesto Tart. I thought it turned out […]
