I was thinking today that 2015 hasn't been a wonderful year for us, but it could have been so much worse. In 2016, we have so much to look forward...
Sherry, your photos are lovely, and the snow is beautiful. However, we moved from the north to Texas to get away from that lovely, beautiful,...
Thank you, Sydney--quimper ware was just what I couldn't remember. Imari--I'll look it up. Not much collectible porcelain or pottery shows up here...
Oh Lord, please let that NOT be a doggy I see!
Sydney, the pitcher on the far left of the above photo--there is a word for the type of decoration, but for the life of me I can't remember it. I...
Toni, if there is anyplace to give donations for those who have lost homes and belongings due to the storms and tornadoes, please let me know. I'd...
Sydney, are the cream pitcher, tea cup and two saucers transfer ware? I have a red on white tea pot that is transfer ware, but not as handsome as...
We've been warmer than usual, and LOT wetter. We have had more rain this autumn and now winter than ever before. The cold front that brought all...
Our Christmas ham was particularly good this year, a new brand for us. I wrote a complimentary e-mail telling the company how much we enjoyed...
We had torrential rains last night and this morning, but no damage and the hens are dry. I'm worried about Toni--the Dallas area was hit with very...
I picked some more tiny cherry tomatoes and got sopping wet in the process (90% humidity will do that to you) and pulled some young dill plants to...
Hey, cut the guy some slack! He's a firefighter, not a chef. Didn't I read somewhere that firefighters are good cooks because they have to prepare...
Susie, between your Christmas decoration video and your greeting card, you are a real Christmas elf! Thank you, and happy holidays to you, too.
And Merry Christmas to you, too! I'm glad you are having a white Christmas with a gentle snow. Your place must look like a Christmas card!
The pie dough is chilling and I'll bake a pecan pie later today. We plan to mow (yes, mow grass!) and add the clippings to the deep litter in the...
Seeing birds that will never be in our garden is such a pleasure--expands our birding experiences vastly! That Coal Tit is adorable, as are most...
Frank, you have a strong stomach! Most folks would run screaming or faint dead-away if they saw sheep intestines. I do admire people who put the...
Okay, here's the plan. I borrow a dualie (that's a huge pick-up truck with four back tires, all over-size) and we pack Eileen, Donna, Droopy, and...
Oh, yes! When we got our little truck--two-seater, full 7' bed, and absolutely no extras except a radio--I tore up and down the country roads...
Netty, I'm so glad your future son-in-law will be all right. Sounds as if he had a bout of flu. Enjoy your baking, and I hope he soon feels up to...
