Gathering Together Celebrating Thanksgiving 2025
Gathering Together Celebrating Thanksgiving 2025. Friends don’t you love to hear the crunch of fallen leaves as you walk, deliberately shuffling your feet, just so you can hear that wonderful sound and watch the leaves flutter around you? It brings to mind plaid blankets, flickering candles and dancing campfires as God has provided this special…

Butterscotch Brownies And Mitford Snowmen
You might ask what do Butterscotch Brownies and Mitford Snowmen have in common. Picture this…It is an overcast, crisp afternoon and you are curled up on the sofa with a book from the Mitford book series in hand and a steaming cup of hot tea in the other. And sitting on the nearby table beside…

welcome to Me and My Captain
.Hello! I’m Kari. Founder and creator of Me and My Captain.
Welcome to my blog and to a diverse community of wonderful people who love life, their families and their homes….and they love to eat. As for me, I am the wife of a pilot (my Captain) whose motto is: “A mile of a road will take you one mile. A mile of a runway can take you anywhere.” … I am also a mother to adult children who have families of their own and live in the midwest, while we reside in sunny, SW Florida. We also have (at last count) 7 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren who are our pride and joy. I love to cook, decorate and design our home and most importantly, I love the Lord….who is our ultimate Captain. I started this blog as a way to share and swap recipes with not only my children, but our friends and family members. I love to entertain and I was so happy to see that many others shared this same passion. We have grown together. Friends soon learn that everyone is welcomed into our home and I hope you as a reader feel the same. So, pull up a chair at my virtual table and lets chat…confessions- over the hedge so to speak.
Additional Things you might like to know about me: I am also a pilot, although I now leave the flying to the Captain. I worked for Boeing for over 26 years. My faith is very important to me and the Captain and I are very active in our church. I had Pancreatic Cancer and went through the Whipple Surgery and am now 5 years cancer free. I teach a Ladies Bible Class in my home every Friday and I always make them a dessert and lay out a pretty themed vignette. I love to garden and decorate our home and read books where I can touch and smell the pages. I am also an online shopper and have been long before covid. I also love to eat good ole’ comfort food.
