More Than A Song

I’m not feeling very inspired this week to come up with a meal plan….but here’s a rough outline of what I might be doing. Hope you all have a good week! Be sure to visit our host Laura for more menus & ideas this week. Maple hoisin salmon, sesame green beans, salad Grilled or roasted […]

Got tagged by Susanne last week sometime to do this 5 questions meme and I’m just now getting back to it. She’s asked me 5 questions that I answer then I make up my 5 to ask 5 people that I tag. The questions are always changing! 1. If you could meet any famous person […]

Can you guess! Be here by dinnertime hopefully but here’s the nice part, staying for about 5 days! So who do you think it is? I’ll give you a hint…………she can’t drive so somebody has to bring her here to see me! Whatcha think. I still have a few things to get done around here […]

Back in the spring I won a free trial to Netflix, something we were very excited to try out. I got signed up at the end of June and the first 3 movies were shipped to us. Hubby has been chomping at the bit for almost 2 years now to see a movie he’d read […]

Yesterday I blogged about all the corn being grown this year in Mississippi. That corn is the kind that’s used for grain, feed, fuel, etc. and the post is here. It’s not used for eating I don’t think. But there is a large farming operation not too far away from us that grows sweet corn, […]

I live in the Mississippi delta, an area several hundreds miles long, very flat and very agricultural. Here it’s ALL about the farming and cotton has always been king, until this year maybe. For the first time, in almost forever, more farmers have planted corn than cotton. I think there might be several reasons, maybe […]

When I was in NC visiting we decided one day to do some altering. K is wanting/needing a few more maternity clothes to wear but didn’t want to spend much money for anything. When she was pregnant before, she worked and needed different clothes than she needs now that she’s home every day. She looked […]

And because I don’t want to end the day with a sad book excerpt, like I put in the post below………..I give you another one that I had copied and kept! It’s in that same pile of stuff I’m going through. This is from one of the Miss Julia books by Ann B. Ross, they […]

At the moment I’m cleaning out a pile of stuff that hubby so kindly shoved all into a closet in the room I’m sewing in! I’ve run across several things that I think I saved to blog about at one time or another and never got around to. So this is rather random……… It’s from […]

Was able to stick pretty well to my plan last week so don’t think I have any carryover meals this time. I’m only going to go with 4 meals this week, hubby might not make it for supper one night so I’m planning accordingly. Visit Laura at Organizing Junkie for the other participants this week […]

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday yesterday….it was a nice little break for us! We went down to our friend’s house in the early afternoon, there were 6 of us adults and one was babysitting their little grandson. One grilled some meat and did pasta salad, I made crunchy slaw and squash casserole and […]

I hope you have a wonderful Fourth of July today! Fly the flag, eat something fun and give thanks for our country. That’s what we’re doing this afternoon with a small group of friends. I’m glad my hubby has the day off today, although he told me he needed to do some office work later […]

I’m being totally self indulgent today and posting a bunch of pictures. I took well over a hundred last week when I was visiting Kathryn and her family in Charlotte but don’t worry, I’m not putting that many up! I enjoyed my time there just hanging out with them, shopping a bit and playing with […]

I meant to include this picture with my menu plan but totally forgot about it! Stacy and I went to the farmer’s market on Saturday, a first for us I think. And we both bought things to use this week…..she pictured hers a day or so ago and you can see it here. She had […]

I’m home this week and hopefully so is my hubby so maybe meals will actually be cooked here this week! Although, I am feeling sick with a cold so we’re planning easy things. Check out Laura’s place for her menus/ideas and all the other participants. Monday…..all on the grill if it’s not raining, chicken, pineapple, […]
