Well, we didn't win with our Gooseberry Patch Cookbook Preview party. But, we all agree we had a blast and would definitely do it again. Hmmm....maybe a couple of times a year? I might just have to "cook" something up! Get it? LOL hahahaha...ok that's probably ONLY funny to my warped mind.



In the meantime congratulations to Niki and her guests. I bet their party was a blast! You can read about her win on the Gooseberry Patch blog.

Thanks for the opportunity Gooseberry!

Baby Shower...Check!

We've had the baby shower! Now I'm {im}patiently awaiting the arrival of Mr. Aiden ~ my newest Grand Nephew. CAN. NOT. STAND. IT!! And this one will live in my town. YO!


The shower was a success! Good eats, good company, lots of gifties for Momma and babe.


Here's how it went:

Funny & Sweet Grand Niece!

"Whoa! I'm so dizzy!"

Gooseberry Patch Cookbook Preview Party!

The Gooseberry Patch Cookbook Preview Party was a blast! My niece Cathy and I hosted the event together. We picked recipes from Gooseberry's newest and yet to be released cookbook, Slow Cookers, Casseroles & Skillets.

On the menu:

Mushroom Roast
Jeanine's Noodle Casserole
Brown Sugar Basil Carrots
German-style Green Beans
Yeast rolls (not from book)
Amaretto Strawberry Trifle (not from book)

The food was delicious and the company, amazing! There was lots of chatting and laughing.

Thanks,Gooseberry Patch, for giving us a reason to be together and visit!

Please check back for information on how to vote for our party on Facebook!

S is for Sisters!

Sisters.
I've got two of them.
They're both older than me.
Old ladies. {tehehe}

Here's a good quote for my sisters:
"Big Sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life."
~Charles M. Schulz

Good night.

Naw, I'm just teasin'!


I like to mess with my sisters. Sometimes I like to do this:

Seriously though, I like my sisters. Here we are picking peaches last summer:





If you don't understand how a woman could both love her sister dearly and want to wring her neck at the same time, then you were probably an only child.

Love ya Sissers!
