Hank, when we lived in town I was in the front yard, picking up pecans that had dropped from our huge pecan tree. A passerby stopped and asked...
Donna, you are one ambitious woman! I think you'll need a big binder for all those recipes. (I recently split my recipe binder into two binders...
Your photos brought back so many happy memories! We cruised and visited Jamaica, and did a white-water raft down a river. When we were in the...
I know it doesn't seem like much to you folks up north, but we had our first freeze last night--ice on the wild bird watering stations, green...
