Family dinners remain an important part of life for all of my family so for Dad's Day the plan was a shared meal on the deck. And what a spectacular day it was! The menu was cobbed together (with duct tape! Isn't that how Dads do it?) kind of last minute, but I did have … Continue reading Sunday Dinner – Father’s Day edition

My first 5K!
image: Bob Kopacimage: Bob KopacThis was actually my second 5K if you count the year I did the Freihofer's Run with my friend, Sharon.

I had, however, received an email … Continue reading First Friday

Mother’s Day
pretty table, pretty plate, pretty tastySunday evening I thanked my boys for a lovely Mother's Day and I wasn't even kidding.
