Birthday Celebration

The Birthday Boy!
Candy Bar Cake

Shrimp & Grits

Romain, Broccoli and Raspberry Salad

Started a new tradition with my Happy Birthday napkins. I will be adding each family members birthday (month and day) to the napkins in the near future.

Chocolate Chip and Walnut Cookies

I made these cookies for Jerry to take to work today. His group has started a new thing... If it's your Birthday, you bring in a treat --- then they take you out for lunch! Everyone loved the cookies. More Birthday treats for Jerry on Sunday when we celebrate with family. I have a great menu planned ... will share that with you later.

Spring Cleaning

I have started my "Spring Cleaning", even though we have SNOW on the ground!

What a great feeling to have your carpets cleaned... wow, I feel like I'm in a new house!

Bromely is not sure of what is going on, he's been locked up in the dining room all day long. I did take him on a 3 mile walk.. just to say sorry, but I think you will be sleeping the night there too!
