This weekend we headed to Maryland to attend a celebration for my Great-Aunt Catharine who turned 100. After the birthday party, we headed to the family farm to visit with my cousin who couldn’t attend because the party was held during milking time. My cousin Mike is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. …
Several weeks ago I shared a pretty table centerpiece featuring Primroses. I’m ashamed to admit that in less than a week three of the Primroses died because I neglected to notice that they needed water. The lone survivor is now on the counter near my kitchen sink in a fresh pot and is doing quite…
If you are new to this series, you might be wondering, “What in the world is a Glog?”. A Glog is an on-line poster that can be viewed via Glogster, printed, or shared by social media. Schools have their own special version but a public one is also available. Glogs allow you to add text,…
Marty from A Stroll Thru Life is hosting a cloche party as a part of an Egg-xellent Spring Party and I thought it would be fun to participate. I’ve had most of my Easter decorations out for a few weeks now because I love them and want to enjoy them as long as possible before…
A lot of progress was made this week in the bathroom. The plumber came on Tuesday to finish his work which included installing a one handled faucet to replace our old two handled one and replacing the shower head. On Friday we had the bathtub resurfaced. The old paint was removed and it now looks better…
It’s almost spring, hurray! When St. Patrick’s Day arrives, we all know that spring is just around the corner. If I have a drop of Irish blood, then it’s through my adopted, red-headed great-grandfather. If he wasn’t Irish, then I haven’t a drop of Irish blood circulating in my body. Never-the-less, it’s the season to…
My friend and running partner, Suzanne, recently shared a wonderful black eye pea chili recipe with me. We chatted about the recipe as we ran through the woods and she convinced me that I might actually like black eye peas. I wasn’t sure, but now I know that I do indeed like black eye peas. …
This weekend we both had a lot of time to devote to our bathroom renovation project. I was able to complete the window curtain with the exception of needing to buy five rings to sew to the top. Instead of using a rod, this curtain will hang from three Pate Meadows knobs. The knobs will…
Today I’m guest posting at my friend Johnnie’s blog, Saved By Love Creations. I’d love it if you’d stop by to read my post and perhaps leave some comment love. I created Easter cards that I think are adorably cute. You need to see them! 🙂
Last week I posted about Glogging and shared a sample Glog about our recent beach weekend. Today I’m starting a “how-to” series on Glogging. I hope that this will be both informative and helpful. Glogs are fun to make for anyone and are extremely useful for students. Instead of making an old-fashioned poster to take…
Our bathroom renovation project continues, weekend-warrior style. After a very hard and busy week at work, Mr. SP worked himself silly on Saturday to complete the wall tile. I think it looks quite nice and am so impressed by the job that Mr. SP is doing. Here he is marking a tile to fit…
My tennis team had a fun practice/social Saturday night. Any event is more fun with food, so I prepared Cucumber Dip from Southern Living to share with my friends. This recipe is now on my “must-make-again” list! Ingredients 5 small cucumbers, unpeeled (I used 2 large cucumbers.) 1/2 cup rice vinegar 1 teaspoon kosher salt…
