Today I did some shopping with one of my very best friends, Jennifer, for her wedding next month. We got some little, albeit, important things (on sale!) Cute little tubes of bubbles (because no one wants to get pegged in the eye with a piece of rice), cute little gift boxes to fill with candy [...]

Lasagna & Wine
My husband and I are having a nice little dinner tonight with his brother and sister-in-law. We are making lasagna, garlic bread, and we have two kinds of wine: Yellowtail Chardonnay and St. Julian’s Cherry Wine (my pick!) I’m excited to try the cherry wine, as I’ve had quite a few cherry wines. St. Julian’s, [...]

Maybe it’s because I had dessert before dinner yesterday… Plainwell Ice Cream, two scoops in a bowl: peanut butter fudge swirl and chocolate chip cookie dough. Yum! However, right now I am craving key lime cake. The recipe [...]

Fancy Pants (or, dresses)
It seems that every summer, I grow more and more fond of dresses. So much so that I don’t want to wear anything else. Of course, I throw on the occasional pair of shorts, especially when spending windy days near the lake shore. I prefer dresses for the warm weather, though, because they are so [...]
In Bloom
Today was such a beautiful day! 77 degrees, sunny, a nice breeze, the birds were singing, and the flowers were blooming! I love spring, don’t you? {Photo by me}
