Corn on the Cob

June 26th, 2009 .

One of the best things about fresh summer vegetables is the abundance of corn on the cob. I’ve tried to grow my own sweet corn, but have never had much success. So I do appreciate what the farmers go through to get these huge beautiful ears of corn to the market for us to enjoy with our dinners. I don’t mind paying up to a dollar an ear for good, fresh sweet corn!

New Movies

June 18th, 2009 .

This summer has a great lineup of movies coming out. I can’t believe how many big budget movies are coming to the big screen. Some of them truly deserve or need to be seen on the big screen to get maximum enjoyment, like the new Star Wars and new Transformers sequel. I think I will try to catch a couple of them for matinee shows, when the ticket price is reduced and the day is so hot that it will be nice to be indoors at a movie in air conditioned comfort.

Last Minute Shopping

December 23rd, 2008 .

Well my list is about done, but I have a few more things to buy for gifts.I will have to get out of the house first thing in the morning and the buy the last of them.

I almost forgot to buy wrapping paper and ribbon! That means another trip to Walgreens since they are close and stay open late. I need an extra pair of hands to help me get all this wrapping done!

Happy Turkey Day!

November 25th, 2008 .

My favorite meal of the year: Thanksgiving Dinner!

We’ll have all the goodies that go with turkey: whipped potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, buttermilk biscuits, jellied cranberries, and pies.

What did you have and who did the cooking?
