About Me

My photo
I'm a Great Northwesterner that is now loving life in the Midwest. I am a world class napper. I'm very bossy. I clearly love a good glass of Scotch. I wear aprons every chance I get.

Happy Father's Day, DAD!

My Dad is so wonderful - thoughtful and helpful and brave and resourceful. He is uncomplicated and clever. He also chews his chips in the rhythm of Jingle Bells. No lie. I love him.

Fun...in the sun or the shade...

Just in case you need some summer activities that are indoor - head over to Orisinal and play their many fun, beautiful, not at all annoying games. I love them. They are so pretty and the music is great. Choosing which game to play may be the worst part about them...

So - you just need to head over - I can't do it justice at all. Just go to Twig and Thistle . Now.

The After Party

Grandma and Grandpa go through the line of the lovely luncheon
The theme of the luncheon was Circles.
One eternal round...round flowers, round food, round accents.
So many friends and family
Sandwiches on rolls, pasta salads - and my favorite - Tracy's Caprese
Lemon Blossoms - a big hit
