Help……
My computer charger cord is on it’s last thread. I may be lost for a while without a new computer. Does anyone have a spare? I have an Apple Mac Book. We probably won’t be able to buy another if this goes for a little while….signing off….I smell something burning……

Tour of homes

So this weekend begins the annual Tour of Homes. It is a tradition. Hubby and I go every year. I have all the tour books to prove it. I think I might be somewhat obsessed with homes. As I was looking through the tour book I was marking down which homes we have to [...]

Things to be thankful for

In the midst of so much change and upheaval these last six months and waiting for someone to make us a sweet offer on the house, I am finding that I spend much of the day talking to God about trusting. I trust Him, I truly do, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have [...]

I want to share a bit of good news.  My very giving mother has given us money to purchase a pool for the girls. You know, the 4 ft bigger than a hot tub kind of pool with the soft sides.  We are filling it with water right now and the girls have been standing [...]

Puree

So, I dived into my new cookbook Deceptively Delicious.  I made my purees last night and made our first deceptive meal. We had tuna salad on non wheat wraps with tomato and lettuce. They turned out so good.  The secret hiding puree was cauliflower that I put in the tuna. The kids and the hubby [...]

How am I eating?

Very well thank you.  Oh, don’t ask those ladies from last night. They promised not to tell anyways.
Seriously,  I have been doing well. My first white flour item was last night in the form of basalmic soaked cheese tortellini’s with all kinds of other yummies like artichoke hearts, tomatoes and cucumbers.  Who could pass that [...]

Fun day

Today hubby and I did not get as much done as we had hoped. Believe it or not we do still have two doors to paint and hang and a closet to paint and baseboards to paint. We got a few things moved to the other house. Our garage is nearly empty which [...]
