One of these days I WILL be in New Orleans for Mardi Gras. I want to see the parades, experience the exuberance, and live the tradition. In the meantime I live vicariously through my friends who are there and videos like this one from the 50’s: And this from last year: I listen to music…
An Ordinary Life
Maybe it’s just me – I readily admit that I’m nosy – but I find it interesting to hear how other people spend their days, particularly women at home. People often ask what I *do* and my best answer is that I’m not sure but it takes all day. I decided to think back on…
Menu Plan Monday ~ March 7, 2011
Click here for more menu ideas. I’m so glad last week is over and I’m determined that this one will be better.

The best laid plans…
