Let’s Talk Turkey
You know what I am talking about! Thanksgiving is just around the corner and all thoughts turn to turkey. Well---maybe not ALL thoughts but a great deal of my thoughts recently have been revolving around travel plans for Thanksgiving and what we will be cooking and eating during that fabulous holiday. We will be in North Carolina for Thanksgiving this year---Aaron has graciously agreed to host us in Raleigh once again and since we are all coming from 4 different states it will be extra nice … [Read more...]

For the Love of Cowboys
I have been living it up large in Texas lately! I twisted the hubby's arm to take me into Fort Worth to see the Stockyards and my one goal was to get my picture taken with a longhorn cow.

His 1 bedroom apartment is nice and quite … [Read more...]

Extraordinary—-#FranklinCoHarvest
Extraordinary That one word describes the weekend. I am recovering from a very wonderful weekend. Today's post will be brief as my brain is a bit fried. If I tried to even attempt to begin a post I would not be able to do it justice so......I am going to wait, organize my thoughts and my hundreds of pictures and plan some posts that will really do the entire weekend justice. Suffice it to say Franklin County ---Iowa put out the red carpet for the bloggers for their 3rd Annual Franklin … [Read more...]
