Chicken Tortilla Soup

    I’ve always looked for a yummy (and by yummy, I really mean EASY and still edible) Chicken Tortilla Soup recipe and this one is pretty darn good.  Very tasty.  Still not as perfect as Max and Erma’s (what do they put in that addictive soup???), but still great.    I have no idea

The Winter Hutch Display and V-Day Decorating

    After Christmas I decided to keep out some snowmen again like I did last year.  I was going to take them down this past weekend, but then the forecasters thought it might snow this week so I left them up a bit longer.  Big bummer on the snow…not much at all.   But now it’s
