I haven’t really had much to say lately. Not much has been going on. Lots of work. On my day off Thursday, I ran to the garden center and picked up a couple flats of annuals. Came home and got them in the ground. Yea, for getting something accomplished. Loving the new washing machine. Besides…

Root Beer Bundt Cake
I enjoy baking quite a lot. But cakes are not my favorite to make. There seems to be much more pressure on the final outcome. Now cookies, cupcakes and brownies…no problem. They all seem easier, more care-free to make. At any rate, we’re heading over to Michele’s for a cookout this afternoon. I’m bringing the…
a holiday weekend treat
Greg and I celebrated the start of the long holiday weekend last night with pizza and beeritas on the patio. A few years ago, I put the beerita recipe on my blog. I thought that perhaps now would be a great time for a re-introduction. My good friend Michele discovered this tasty concoction at a…
not my cup of tea, but there are advantages
We’re still deciding whether to fix or replace our problematic washing machine (flood starter). I think we’re leaning towards replacing. Y’all know I like new and pretty. Today, I rushed home from work, gathered the week’s laundry, and headed to our neighborhood laundromat. If there’s one thing that I learned during my apartment living days,…
michele's 80's prom
Friday night we celebrated Michele’s graduation from the UofA. She threw a fabulously fun 80’s prom at Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens. The outfits of the guests did not disappoint.

In honor of this festive occasion, I plan to change my facebook profile picture to one of my old prom pictures…
I had the beat, but not really
Last night was our friend David’s birthday. We had an excellent dinner at the Bistro on Main in Kent. After dinner, it was back to David and Marc’s for cake and Guitar Hero. And that’s me trying to play the drums, I was not so good at it. Megan, Greg, David and Marc were pretty…
the requested muffins
A certain someone (you know who you are) has been requesting these muffins almost daily since I brought them to work a while back. So here they are again, the banana espresso chocolate chip muffin. Aside from the ‘nana mashin’ they are pretty easy to make. One batch done, perhaps another batch tomorrow before I…
three tickets to the orchid show
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…
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…
