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…
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…
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 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…
If you are going to commit a crime, perhaps you shouldn’t do it while driving an orange Gremlin. Thank goodness the police figured this crime out quickly and have made arrests. What were these stupid boys thinking? I guess they weren’t. Side note: This all happened in my Mom’s neck of the woods.
Good grief. What is going on in this world? I got a call just before I left for Charlottsville this morning asking me if I’d heard about the shootings. Shootings? Apparently someone (or more than one) shot at a few cars along I 64 between Crozet and Afton Wednesday night/Thursday morning. Two people were taken…
Saturday was an absolutely beautiful day here. It was sunny and 70 degrees. I was able to get outside in the afternoon to work on clearing off flowerbeds. I have a long way to go, but got a good start. We met two couples for dinner at the club Saturday night and had a great…
Hubby has been out of town this week. He surprised me with some treats when he arrived home yesterday. I love my new bunny candy bowl!
Mama and I headed to the beach Thursday afternoon to spend the weekend getting her house ready for the upcoming rental season. We had a great three days together cleaning, organizing, and taking a few breaks to walk on the beach, go to lunch, or to shop a little bit. The weather was sunny and…
Basket beside my favorite bunny. I love these speckled eggs. Faux chocolate bunny on a bed of faux grass. Mama surprised me with this bunny a few years ago. Marble eggs in an old McCoy planter I added these bunnies to my collection last year. This plate is Blue Ridge Pottery. It was my dad’s…
More Easter photos to come…. Here’s my favorite bunny.
Whew! I’ve been in my kitchen most of today. We had my mother and father in law over for dinner tonight to celebrate my mother in law’s birthday on Thursday. Before I started the birthday preparations, I made cookies to take to school for a party tomorrow and a casserole for us to eat this…
