What goes up Must come down What goes around Comes around Mara and Leigh came over to play Scrabble yesterday. Leigh’s little sister, Mara’s daughter, and friend were with them. More than Scrabble was played. What do you like to play?
On the way to the Chateau Morrisette Winery, we snapped a photo of the usual suspects at the Saddle Overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway where my husband and I got married 10 years ago. Besides me, the line-up consisted of my brother-in-law Nelson, my mother, my sister Sherry, and my brother Joey, all in […]
1. I don’t understand certain meats. There’s rump roast, pot roast, chuck roast, and roast beef. I’ve always been confused about what to buy and then, how to cook it. 2.
