Posting at Writer…Interrupted Today

So hop on over for my musings about summer’s end…Scheduling Interruptions–Luncheon Style.
Want a good recipe for all that zucchini your garden is producing? Zucchini Quiche is the best way to go…it’s easy to prepare, looks quite impressive and most children even like it!
Happy Thursday!

Company Chicken Salad

This favorite recipe is a ladies luncheon pleaser! I can’t believe I haven’t thought to share it here before now. I made a batch tonight to accompany my mother’s 73rd birthday lunch here at my house tomorrow! It’s a famous lunch item at our local 1850’s restaurant and one that I make each June for [...]

A Wonderful Week

I apologize for the dead air here on the blog last week…my only excuse? Too many other things vying for my attention–all good things, of course, excepting my daughter’s ear infection! (Please ignore the weird spacing of the pics in this post…I’ve been having such a hard time working with images on Wordpress lately! They [...]

Ear Infection Notes

FYI, I’m mostly writing this post for my own retrieval, if (hopefully not!) at some future time I need a refresher course in what to do for earaches, etc. I’m notoriously forgetful…and it helps to catalog dates and health stuff here on the blog…
Thursday evening my 7 yo complained of having had an earache all [...]

The Magic of Eating Outside

Up over the ridges ran the blue of wild lilac like spreading smoke; manzanita and chaparral put on their creamy blooms; even the redwoods spread fresh fans of green, and far below all over the valley floor the fruit blossoms waved in soft airs. Jays laced the air with blue; quail drummed in the woods; [...]

Speaking of Milk…

The best kept secret on milk must be shared here! Okay, maybe I’m the only one in the dark on this.
Hubby had a Braum’s ice cream craving last night…so while in the restaurant, we moseyed over to check out the price of their milk. Only $3.15 a gallon compared to the over $4 that our [...]

Veggie Tales Giveaway

Just a head’s up for all you Veggie Tales fans…over at Veggie Tales Review, Peter Plum is having a contest giveaway for the newest Veggie Tales movie: Tomato Sawyer and Huckleberry Larry’s Big River Rescue!
All you have to do is comment on the post over there…among other things if you so wish! Sounds like a [...]

Little Miracles

I think contentment is cultivated. I believe that joy and peace are a by-product of resting in faith, waiting on God…in the little things even more so than the big things. It’s the little things that happen constantly, so what better training ground for the “big” things, right?
Certain unpleasant happenings will always come our way…but [...]

Baby Bunnies

My 4 year old (she just had a birthday, btw!) found something very special nestled under some leaves and cottonwood tree fluff. Right out in the open where they could accidentally get stomped was a nest of 12 baby bunnies! One escaped the hatch as we clicked away.
Sad update…my 10 year old went to check [...]

Dressers in the Kitchen

Last night I put the last coat of polyurethane on my dresser project. First time I’ve ever tackled a refinishing project like this, and I’m so impressed! Now to find the perfect handles!
I’m so excited to have this dresser done. Wish I had a before pic for you, just imagine it painted a black paint/stain [...]
