We leave for New Orleans tomorrow and will be gone eleven days. I can hardly wait! I will try to blog about some of our fantastic meals but there’s a good chance we will be so busy having fun that computer time will be minimal. To tide you over until I get back, I am…
Memory Lane Monday…Cassette tapes
My son’s Facebook status today was about cassette tapes and the death of the Sony Walkman. In the comments that followed were reminiscences of making mix tapes for friends and taping from a record player. It brought back memories of sitting by the radio with a tape recorder much like the one in the picture…
Menu Plan Monday ~ October 25, 2010
We are going to New Orleans on Thursday and David will be out of town Tuesday and Wednesday. Rather than making a menu, I’ll be cleaning out the refrigerator and using up all the perishables before we leave. I have two heads of cabbage, a couple of bell peppers, green onions and carrots so I…

The Fine Art of Clothesline Laundry

Memory Lane Monday…Leave it to Beaver
I was sorry to hear of the passing of Barbara Billingsley this past Saturday, October 16th, at the age of 94. She epitomized the ideal mom of the 50s in her role as June Cleaver on “Leave it to Beaver”. Her trademark pearls and heels are often joked about but I must admit there’s a…
