As the mom of one child, as Chad grew up - especially after he went to college, in the back of my mind was always "I hope he marries someone I can have a relationship with. I prayed that, in the least, we could be able to get along and not dislike each other. I've told this story before on here but when Chad first started dating Nicole, I heard about it from Chad's previous girlfriend. She and ...
Rhubarb Juice
Several of my rhubarb loving friends have suggested rhubarb "syrup" to add to lemonade to make rhubarb lemonade. I was watching a YouTube video the other day and the lady said she used to add sugar to the juice to make the syrup but now she simply cans the juice and if she wants it to be syrup, she will sugar when it's time to use it - no need to can it with all that sugar in it.

Mosquito Repellant: We've had so many mosquitoes this year. It was a rainy spring and we could not go outside ...
Adulting
When I was a young girl, 6 - 8 probably, I loved playing school and being the teacher. I would take a bath towel and wrap it around my waist and pin it and that was my skirt. I guess I just used any old shirt. I would walk around in mom's high heel shoes and be the teacher! I got this big stapler this week and every time I see it, I think about being a child and playing teacher. I had asked ...
