My husband made it back the day after my birthday, a day before the next storm hit! You know that saying, "Love makes the heart grow fonder"? I missed him and was so happy to see him! He arrived and a wrapped package appeared on the table. The kids gathered around and Little Man proceeded to help me tear off the paper. I was shocked!! Absolutely stunned! Behind the wrapping paper was a much longed for upgrade to my camera...a new Nikon! I really was surprised. I thought a new camera was a bit further in the … [Read more...]
Birthday Week, Part 1
By on February 15, 2010 15 Comments
Today I have to confess, I have milked this birthday year like no other! You see, the weekend of birthday brought many gifts! It started with 36+ inches of snow. My husband got stuck in TX because the airlines were shut down. My bff was representing LoveFeast at Blissdom in TN. My boys wanted no part in shoveling (truth, unless they were getting paid!) Those were the gifts that were hard to open on my birthday. There were a few that brought a smile to my face! Chris Ann, anticipating I was going to have a … [Read more...]
Superhero Love

I woke up this morning next to my superhero. It's been 16 years of him watching over me and our family. He reminds me that a true superhero love is not always perfect...sometimes there's a dark side...but superhero love keeps coming back to where it started...back to fighting for justice, protecting those he loves, providing for those in need, always being vigilant, having integrity and always, balancing it with romance. I love that he loves me. I love that he's still by my side, fighting to keep this … [Read more...]

It's time for someone to blow out the candles and celebrate, Kristin!!! Happy Birthday! In honor of your special day I baked you a cake, just like when you baked me a cake for my birthday.

Fancy Friday ~ The Tree
By on December 18, 2009 4 Comments
Picking out a tree is a very personal thing. You really have to find the right one. The tree that speaks to you....the tree that says I want to be in your life. You need to round up the right posse to look for a tree. You need to look hard at the tree from every angle.... More than one set of posse is even more helpful...and fun. And, you need to bring along a professional tree analyzer. And, a professional tree rapper. This makes the tree feel special. And, even if you don't have a … [Read more...]

Yep Yifta Time Again
By on November 24, 2009 11 Comments
Word on the street, is that some of our readers, especially those in southern Minnesota are wanting the recipe for Yifta. Now, that's a complicated order. 'Cause for one thing it is a secret family recipe. For another thing, you can only get the recipe if you join our family's Thanksgiving table and pass the quiz of guessing what the ingredients of Yifta are. Then, you have to promise to eat it for breakfast for the following week after you make it. If, and only if I can trust you with at least that last item, eating … [Read more...]
