I’ve long been an iced tea drinker. In fact, family lore includes the story of my grandmother curing me at the age of 6 months of a bout of intestinal distress with her super-sweet iced tea in my bottles. As toddlers, she began giving all of her grandchildren something we called “tea milk”. It would…
Is it just me?
For some reason I am unable to post a YouTube video or pictures from Picasa today. The html won’t convert and I’m left with a post full of code. I’ve tried it on both Chrome and Firefox so it doesn’t appear to be a browser issue. I’ve been blogging for years so unless I’ve totally…
Menu Plan Monday ~ August 8, 2011
Click here for more menu ideas. I already know that I won’t be cooking two nights this week. And I’m also going to try to avoid shopping for anything more than milk or maybe some fresh produce. I’m pretty well stocked so let’s see what I can come up with from my pantry and freezer….
Happy birthday, Lucille Ball!
Ever since I was a little girl I have adored Lucy. I Love Lucy originally ran from 1951 to 1957 so I grew up watching the re-runs. Over the years I have seen every episode multiple times and own the first two seasons on DVD. That show is an absolute classic which never grows old….

Just wanted to share a couple of quick pictures today. Last week David was on a business trip and had time to kill. He went to Mall of America and “checked in” on Facebook. I commented and asked what he was buying for me. When he asked what I wanted I told him that was…
Wild Kingdom
Anyone remember this?: My family used to watch this and The Wonderful World of Disney every Sunday night. Good memories. We live in the country and it is sometimes like living in our own “wild kingdom”. First there are the raccoons that I posted about the other night. And yes, I mean “raccoonS”, as in…

Rocky Raccoon
Sad news here at Apple Tree Farm. A raccoon has been picking off our hens one or two at a time and all we have left now is a very lonely rooster. David went out one night with the intentions of getting rid of the raccoon but it scurried under the chicken coop before he…
