Every year when the 4th of July rolls around I see great decorations to make or purchase and I always wish I had made something or bought one. This year in my quest to use up thing laying around the house and the garage I made these “USA Blocks” for a little festive decor for […]
Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp
About 3 years ago Mary Catherine brought a new dessert for us to taste. It was a recipe that her husband was introduced to while in Canada. It was divine, “Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp”. She had purchased Rhubarb and commented on how hard it was to find beautiful red Rhubarb. John’s mother has a huge Rhubarb […]
Potion Bottles
I had a crazy thought on New Years Eve – Halloween Potion Bottles. I know crazy lady. What can I say? I was tired. But look how it turned out. Pretty Great!
Homemade Tomato Sauce
Homemade Tomato Sauce really is easier than it sounds. Like anything else it takes a little time, but really your stove and freezer will do the hard work. I don’t like to eat tomatoes and neither does my husband so I’m really not sure why we planted tomatoes. We must be crazy! So I ended […]

Father’s Day
Crockpot London Broil

Last Minute Father’s Day Idea
I never know what to do for my husband for Father’s Day. Any one else have this problem? I sometimes ask him what he wants or he just buys what he wants. Like this year he bought a sledge hammer. I think it’s more fun to have something as a surprise, but that doesn’t always […]
