Zucchini Bread Comparisons

When I went to work on Wednesday, I brought some of the zucchini bread I made following my Grandma’s recipe and it went over pretty well. Today my co-worker Reagan brought in some of the zucchini bread her Nana made for her and it was like seeing in real life the bread that I was […]

Grandma’s Zucchini Bread-part 2

Disclaimer: My Aunt messaged me that this is not my Grandma’s, it actually came from an in-law of my Aunt’s but since I remember it as my Grandma’s that’s what I am calling it. 😊 Last night I went over the recipe again, which I have shared below and right off the top I could […]

Grandma’s Zucchini Bread-part 1

When I was younger, I spent a lot of time with my Grandparents. My Grandma Shead was a good cook, good at basic meals that were hearty and she made do with what she had, including leftovers. What she was great at though was baking. She made the best sour-cream sugar cookies that to this […]

What you miss and what you don’t…

There are always things from my past that I miss, the flip side of the coin is the things I don’t miss. Things I miss: I miss my grandparents…I miss waking up in the morning and being surrounded by complete unconditional love. I miss the big family gatherings I took for granted as a kid. […]

Thoughts for a quiet Sunday

Loves of my life

NOTE: I started this post in late August. How fast the last 5 months have gone.♥ It was a long and busy summer. I didn’t get a chance to post much as I was wrapped up in work and the long, warm days like everyone else. But as the days become shorter every day, the […]

4 am…

I’m not one to talk much on the phone, never have been. I do like to video chat with my son and his girlfriend and that was one of the main reasons we bought them a Portal and we got one too. I love being able to just click on their names and see their […]

Almost August!!!!

I can not believe where the summer has gone. My bosses just left on their annual trek back to Wisconsin and it seems like it’s too early in the summer for that to happen. I haven’t taken any real vacation from work this year because I have been saving my time off to be in […]

Mother’s Day gift

I have done absolutely nothing today and loved it. My husband got me a coffee and made me bacon to go with the pastries we got at the Farmers Market and I sat and read the whole morning away. I got a chance to talk to my Dad, my big Sissy and my son. I […]
