In light of the coming weekend forcast full of 80 degree temps and sun shinning, I am spending the day in the kitchen. The only housework I want to do tomorrow is the kind that hangs laundry on the line or plants flowers in the window boxes (Pansies as we have been known to get more [...]

Has anyone else been absolutely stumped when it comes to what to cook for supper lately? I think it is all the sewing, but I am beyond un-inspired when it comes to meals as of late. I did stop sewing this weekend for a much needed home clean-sweep. Isn’t funny how once you get started it is [...]

How resolute are you? Did you think of some goals for 2009? Are you keeping any of them? What’s your progress?

My house- as I have posted a couple times I am slowly working on it. I am not only wanting to physically re-do my home, but functionally as well. Something I’m giving [...]

Such high and lofty goals for last week…struck down premature by a fever and a husband out of town. I have a hard time recognizing when I need to ask for help, last week I asked.

FYI, tomorrow is an apple day! Yesterday evening, we went ot the in-laws and picked apples and pressed apples. I am hoping to document how to ferment some cider as well as a day of making applesauce.

While I have seen with my own eyes that we are blessed with a bounty unknown to much of the world, there is no denying these are hard times for us in the USA. Who knows where the economy will head next, what will we do if our banks fail us, how did we get [...]

I grew up in a restaurant, not that we lived there…well, at least we didn’t sleep there. I remember getting up in the morning, going to school, walking home and either walking to the restaurant or my parents picking me up and taking me to work with them. We would usually go home in time [...]
