Time this week has not been my friend. I have had a lot going on with work, family, and household chores, so I got behind with my last-minute Thanksgiving dinner necessities. We are heading out on a mini-vacation to the beach the day after Thanksgiving for a long overdue visit with my sister. We... Sign in to see full entry.

Taking Advantage While We Still Can

John and I love taking country drives. Of course, this isn't possible once the snow covers the county roads, making for dangerous conditions, so we are taking advantage of the sunny and mild conditions that they day is offering. We are also hoping that the weather holds out for another week so that... Sign in to see full entry.

Bringing A Bit of Warm into a Cold Day

One of my personal favorite meals to eat on a cold day is a hearty soup with crackers or a sandwich. Shrimp is also one of my favorites and since I am missing home where the seafood is plentiful along the Delaware shore, I figured that I could improvise a little by making this fast and easy 30...

It Snowed, So This is the Perfect Day for Celebrating the Holiday Season

I Got an Early Jump on Some Fall Deep Cleaning and a Few Holiday Chores

Unable to sleep, I was up with John this morning at 3:30 a.m., the start of his work day. I normally sleep in until 6 or 7, but a busy mind does not rest well. So far I have cleaned my mini blinds, dusted, cleaned the shower, and washed two loads of clothes. Next, I will throw the kitchen and... Sign in to see full entry.

Today is the Perfect Weather for Some Comfort Food

John never complains about anything that I make him for lunch or dinner, but he sometimes makes a special request when I have not made one of his favorites for quite some time. Hamburger vegetable soup is one of his favorite meals that I save for the cooler months, and today is the perfect time to... Sign in to see full entry.

For our birthdays last month, John and I were treated to a gift card to the Olive Garden, one of our two favorite restaurants. The Cracker Barrel ranks at #1, which we also received a gift card to use at a later date. I love the Olive Garden's pasta and endless bowls of salad and breadsticks, but I...
