Recipe of the Day: Susan’s Chicken Pot Pie

Posted in Homekeeping on 29 October, 2008 | 2 Comments »

Here is a recipe from my soon to be released NotQuiteJuneCleaver Bakes a Pie! Yeah, I know I have said that before but I really am finishing it up.  I feel a new inspiration to “get ‘er done”.  Okay, I just make myself sick.  I hate it when people say that…get ‘er done.  Anywho, it [...]

Beautiful British Birds

Posted in Travels, tagged , , on 28 October, 2008 | 6 Comments »

Not the two legged kind…the feathered ones!
These are all pictures of birds I snapped while walking around London.  Husband and I always notice birds.  We are not birdwatchers, persay, but we do seem to always notice and take note of them.

What a pretty raven!

Lovely English pigeons!

As if they were carrying on a conversation.

A BEAUTIFUL black [...]

Recipe of the Day: Charlie Browns sans Peanut Butter

Posted in Homekeeping on 26 October, 2008 | 4 Comments »

I cannot tell you how good these tasted.  Charlie Browns are one of the few things I miss by being allergic (suddenly I might add) to peanut butter.  These were not as creamy but they sure are a great substitution.

2 cups sugar
5 TBSP cocoa (Rachel thinks they need more)
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup coconut
3 [...]

Home Sweet Home

I totally enjoyed my trip to England.  Wait, let me rephrase that.  I totally enjoyed my TIME IN ENGLAND.  The trip…not so much.  TOO much time on a plane to suit me. My skin gets so dry and my lips so chapped on the plane.  Plus I feel sooo grungy.  However I had wonderful seatmates [...]

Two Yanks Walk Into A Pub…

Posted in Homekeeping on 18 October, 2008 | 4 Comments »

drank a couple of pints and had a hoot visiting with some chaps Husband has spent the week with.  One other yank and a couple of Aussies.  The Aussies were just charming.  Had some wonderful stories of their world travels and of course had to tell me what a great guy I am married to.

I am off in just  a few short hours.

I am excited and nervous and sooo anxious to see Husband.  He called just a few minutes ago to wish me a safe and uneventful trip.  I don’t know if I have ever heard more excitement in his voice.  He is truly happy I am making the [...]

Two Days Till Lift Off

Posted in Homekeeping on 14 October, 2008 | 6 Comments »

I will be leaving for England day after tomorrow.  I think I am about ready.  I have most of my bags packed.  I talked to one of my oldest friends last night and she says “So, you’re checking things of your list?” List?  I don’t need a list, do I?  I realized this was the [...]

An Anniversary Today

Posted in Homekeeping on 8 October, 2008 | 4 Comments »

My mom passed a year ago today. It surely doesn’t seem like a year has gone by. I have had a little cry and I am sure today will bring more. It seems odd to be cleaning out her things, 77 years of a life reduced to cardboard boxes and a storage [...]

The following comment was left for me to approve and I chose not to. Because…well…I don’t have to. I am tired and it struck me wrong. So I am going to respond to it here and hopefully next time I read it, it won’t bother me. Why am I tired you [...]
