Yesterday I started talking about our “garden”. This year I wanted to grow more than just flowers in the yard. BUT we have deer. And raccoons. And birds. Lots of little creatures that love to nibble on everything. However, I really missed those tomatoes we grew in Alabama. So I got two tomato plants and potted
Back in 2005, we had a garden. A very large garden. When we moved into that house in Birmingham in 2003, it had a playset in the backyard that was rotting and falling apart. So we had it hauled away and then rented a tiller. We loved that garden and still think it produced the

Looking for a new summer cocktail? These Pink Panty Droppers were a big hit at my Fifty Shades of Grey Party last summer. One of my neighborhood friends brought them with her. And lucky for us, she had them again last week at a gathering at her house. Otherwise known as…we-made-it-to-friday-and-now-we’ll-enjoy-happy-hour-til-our-husbands-get-home. The kids had a good
So, yep. I’m still here. Over the past month I’ve had a person I’ve never met before in real life working behind the scenes on transferring everything on my old Blogger blog over to this here WordPress blog. Some might ask…huh? Why? First of all, I had no time to learn how to do it
Just an FYI. If you visit here and the site is DOWN, I’m in the process of moving to WordPress this week! Wish me luck. I’m going to need it on this new learning adventure. Once I’m up and running, I’m hoping to return to a more regular schedule of posts this summer.
