New Trellis
Look what hubby made for me last weekend! The vine growing on it is a fall blooming Clematis. It’s pretty aggressive and would cover the front of the house if I didn’t keep an eye on it.
Butt Ugly Plant – Except for May
I believe that this plant is called a Devil’s Backbone. (Please correct me if you think I’m wrong.) I think it’s butt ugly, but then it charms me every May by putting on a beautiful blooming show, so I keep it. I inherited this plant from my grandmother when she had to move into a…
Must Brag a Little Bit
I have so many ideas for new posts and so little time. Working really gets in the way of my fun! My USTA team is in last place this season. We’ve only had two matches so far and have lost both of them. In USTA there’s 3 doubles courts and 2 singles courts. I played…

Fresh Spinach
My running partner has a giant vegetable garden and some of its bounty was shared with me on Sunday. I picked two plastic Kroger bags of spinach. After it was washed, spun in the spinner, and placed in containers, this is what I have to use all week. I took the small plastic bag to…
Potato Soup
I’ve made this every Sunday for the past three weeks. The recipe was given to me by my friend Jeannine. It’s from Cooking Light magazine. I leave out the crab and it just as good, imo. I’ve been using dried thyme instead of fresh and Russet potatoes instead of red ones. I highly recommend this…
Why Did We Wait so Long…
to try Lynchburg’s newest and best restaurant??? Last night we joined two other couples for dinner at Shoemakers Restaurant. Shoemaker’s is located in the recently opened Craddock Terry Hotel. At one time Craddock Terry was the number five shoe producer in the US. The buildings are old warehouses and the old shoe factory that overlook…
Happy Birthday!
Today is hubby’s 45th birthday! The year we started dating, hubby turned 30. I remember thinking that he was so old. (I am six years younger.) I had a surprise party for him that year and gave him a gas grill. He got a new grill for his 44th birthday. No exciting presents this year…
April Supper Club
Saturday night was April Supper Club! This month’s theme was Mexican. The host had mercy on me because she knew that I’d be busy with my birthday luncheon (see post) and asked me to bring taco toppings. (Thanks, Beth!) We had enchiladas, tacos, and Mexican rice. Since final four basketball was on, everyone pretty much…
April Birthday Party
April has three birthdays for our family: Hubby, Mama, and my Father-in-law. I hosted a birthday luncheon on Saturday to celebrate. I stressed a little over my menu because I waited until the last minute to get ready. It all turned out fine in the end and I think that everyone enjoyed the afternoon. Here’s…
The Schedule
OMG – Out of 15 matches, 6 of them start at 8 pm. That means that those matches don’t officially end until 10 pm. I have to get up at 5 am for school! I’m going to be a tired puppy for a lot of mornings in April and May. I don’t like this at…
Coming Up for Air
Three days back at school and I’m ready for a break! I’ve met a friend the last two mornings at 5:50 am to run and that’s just thrown my schedule off. It is nice to get some exercise in before work. It’s not so nice to have to pack all of my clothes, make-up, and…
