Yesterday I got the kids on the bus and sat down at the laptop to work up the weeks menu plan to post. Yes, I had the best intentions in the world. I want to use up some more of the venison, so I headed down to the freezer to pull some out to defrost… Keep Reading

If you missed last night’s show on Frugal Backyard BBQ’s, never fear! It is available now for your listening pleasure.

Last week I had the opportunity to go to Hershey Pennsylvania to visit the Milton Hershey School as well as the Hershey Hotel & Spa. I used a really neat application called Whrrl to document the visit in a “story”. You can head on over and look at the story of my visit to the… Keep Reading

Theladya and CKSKnitter! Congratulations to you both ladies. Emails have been sent to you both.
