Greg, Megan and I traveled up to Cleveland this afternoon to see the Orchid Show at the Cleveland Botanical Gardens. This is the second trip in a month for Greg and I. Today we became members. We only have to visit three more times this year for it to pay for its self. That’s very…

I live in Akron, Ohio with my husband Greg, our dog Ted, and a pantry full of flour and sugar.
a very sweet thank you
It’s been a busy week. I’m in the middle, as of today, of an 11 days in a row stretch at work. The good news…I will have the next two weekends, yes I said two, off. Hopefully Greg and I will get up to the orchid exhibit at the Cleveland Botanical Gardens next weekend. In…
the cookies are everywhere
It’s that time of year again…the cookies have arrived from the girl scouts. You remember, those cookies you ordered a month or two ago. Those cookies that you planned to freeze, yes, that’s why you bought four boxes of thin mints…to freeze them so you could enjoy them for many more months to come. But…

It was positively refreshing and as Greg said, it recharged our souls. It’s been a brutal winter. Also, this visit was my first real test for…

So the Sirius satellite radio in my car is no longer communicating with the antenna on the roof. I keep getting a message that says “antenna not detected.” I’ve had it for about 3 or 4 years. So is it time to end my subscription and save about $15/month, or should I get it fixed?
baked
Continuing with the theme that this is definitely not a food blog, I made some treats this evening to take to work tomorrow. I baked Orange Almond Blueberry Muffins from a cookbook I mentioned earlier in the year. I had to taste one before taking them tomorrow. Quality control…you know. Greg and I split it,…
