Banchi loves sunlight and blankets 

I cooked dinner tonight. It's Amish One-Pan Ground Beef and Cabbage Skillet served over rice. Mmmm was yummy.

Maple Sunday

Celebrated Maine Maple Sunday with a  maple soft serve treat at Merrifield Farm in Gorham, ME.

My average day 

Todi wants me to wake up. Early. For no reason. 

This is me awake and he could care less. 

Kidding :) He is a good dog that stays by my side majority of the day.

Gifts from my mother. These wooden bowls are from Holland Bowl Mill in Holland, MI.  Now I can't wait to find a home for them. 

My Pyrex collection recently had a growth spurt for a particular color and patterns.

Finally got to try a needham, a chocolate from Maine that has a special ingredient- potato! 😀

I put my awesome pumpkin outside that I carved last night. Hoping the squirrels don't mess with it. 

Banchi refuses to work today unless you count napping as work.  

Banchi loves his Halloween bear 

I made broccoli slaw last night. I used crasins and thought it came out good. I usually buy it made but wanted to try making it at home.
