One more grocery stop and all the food will be purchased. Then I will need to pack it in coolers or bags. I got smart and put the 5 loves of bread in the long plastic snap lid box. Less squishize that way. 5 loaves? Yep! For Baked French Toast and Sa

That's my countdown to leaving for the Retreat. Before then I have groceries to get, meat to brown, measurements to make, and packing to do. I should go buy a sleeping bag to use, seems we have to take our own sheets and stuff. I really wasn'

Not only in the kicking back area, but the temps have dropped and it's a mite cool here. They say the weather is going to be nice this weekend. The temps will only reach mid 50's, but I can live with that as long as it's sunny. Since we a

I suck at finishing knit items. Since making all those hats I have stalled. I have half a skein left to knit into Lady Eleanor. Half a skein! Of course, then comes the 1.5 skeins of yarn to make the fringe. But I am thinking of making Suzy come and h

It's never fun. The Lady Bears lost their first freshman game tonight, 16-31. Elder got in the 2nd and 4th quarters for a bit of playing time. She needs to work out the nervous parts, but she will get there in time. One shot on basket yielded not

 The reception went off with not a hitch. The assembly was very nice. I teared up as the color guard brought in the flag. But then I always tear up. I left a bit early to start pouring drinks and missed Taps, which is good because I would likely

I'm one tired girl, and the busy days aren't even over yet. Yesterday was 4 hours of baking cookies and scoping out the venue for the reception today.We made 250 cookies! Snickerdoodles, Choco Chips and Peanut Butter Chunk. Why do I imagine t

Well, the week days are over....

.....but a busy weekend is still to be dealt with. Tomorrow is practice and a scrimmage for the girls basketball team. Elder will just be practicing. I will go in around 11:00 and help with serving the girls lunch and then stay for the scrimmage with

I don't know if I am coming or going. The week started off well with the new car addition. Then by Monday is was over. Younger got up, but said she felt shaky. So I told her to lay down for a bit and we would see if she felt better later, and the
