Sushi!
My son in law knows how to do things right. He hired a professional sushi chef to come to his house and prepare five hours of sushi for 16 guests. It was amazing. Just imagine this happening in your own home and not a restaurant! The sushi master brought an assistant and they made the…

Happy 4th of July
Ozzie and I would like to wish you all a happy and safe 4th of July if you live in the US, and a happy Thursday if you don't! We plan to go to a barbecue with the family, and my corn salad that I posted on a week or so ago has been requested. …

And So It Begins
Summer has officially begun here. I took my girl to her first day of swim team practice and as you see from her stance, she was somewhat unsure of the whole enterprise at first. She got with the program without delay however, and I was so proud of her. When the coach first said "Okay,…

Happy Easter
It has become something of a tradition for Eva to make a special Easter cake with me. This was our effort a couple of years ago. Eva is in charge of choosing the design, and as she has gotten older, she has taken on more of the decorating responsibilities as well. This is what she came…

That is my little family portrait above. It would be perfect for our Christmas cards, don't you think? My husband is a Pharaoh, my daughter…

Sorry I have been such a bad blogger lately. Life is just getting in my way I tell you. Here are a few things we have been up to. Eva and I made unicorn pumpkin cookies this weekend. Now that is a concept isn't it? We had the candy corn and while we were decorating…

So Blessed
Had to share this photo of my brother in law with his newborn grandson. Have you ever seen such a sweet picture? This is little Jacob, younger brother to Johnathan. My new grand nephew. Born just a few days ago. Robert, my brother in law (the little guy's grandpa), just returned from a three week…

Spring Doings
Just in time for Easter! My little State Fair table topper got bound and placed on my dining table. I love the spring color palette, and will be enjoying this one for many months to come. My dining table did not see any Easter action this year. We gathered at my dad's house, 18 of…
