We had a fun Mardi Gras party last night. There were five couples, including ourselves. I put up our Mardi Gras banner and some balloons (green, gold and purple, of course), as well as providing Mardi Gras beads for everyone. I made jambalaya, potato salad, layered salad and bread pudding. I also had freshly baked…
Thursday Three…
I just remembered the other day that I used to do these “Thursday Three” things. Since I’m supposed to be cleaning house and getting ready for a party tomorrow night, a short blog post is all I really have time for anyway. So, let me see…okay, here goes: Three of my favorite rock songs: Paranoid…
A little of this, a little of that…
Last night I went out to dinner with friends but made a pot of soup for Chris before I left (David had a class and wasn’t home for dinner, either). I had some for lunch today and Chris can have some tonight (David is in Enid and won’t be home until late; I have choir…
A quote to ponder…
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. –Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain)

Spaghetti and meatballs…
In accordance with my plan to avoid the grocery store and use up what we have, I made spaghetti and meatballs for dinner tonight. I had part of a large bag of meatballs in the freezer, enough for tonight and still enough left in the freezer for another dinner. I sautéed a handful of frozen…
One of those ways to fill up blog space…
1. What are your siblings MIDDLE names? Dwain and Clinton 2. Where is your dad right now? either at home or at McDonald’s picking up a McGriddle for my grandmother (she loves those and at 94 you should be allowed to eat anything you want) 3. What was the last thing you said? “Gently, gently.”…
No more grocery shopping…
Well, sort of…but not exactly. I defrosted and re-organized my freezer this week, and have been working on my pantry. I’m sure I have enough food on hand to feed us for at least a month and that is what I’m going to try to do. I’ll still buy milk, eggs (unfortunately I am down…
