Friends…if you know me just a little bit…you know I am a ‘Romantic’. AND I LOVE picnics. so much so, that Picnics should have their own category on this blog. 🥰. Anyway, about 8 years ago, I posted this “picnic” post about a Mole, Badger, Rat and a Toad having a picnic. I had so…
Dear ones….Cinco de Mayo is just a few days away…Cinco de Mayo may not be known to everyone…and *USA Today summed it up real well! *”For many Americans, Cinco de Mayo means enjoying Mexican food and probably a few margaritas as well. But Cinco de Mayo, which means May 5 in Spanish, is probably one…

Easter Brunch! Easter is a very special time of the year and while the Captain and I attend church on a regular basis….I especially like going to Sunrise Easter Services.

My dear readers…Valentine’s Day is past and now it is time to plant potatoes (and/or cabbage) and plan for St. Patrick’s Day Festivities. Ok, I won’t be planting potatoes on March 17th…but we will be celebrating the wearin’ o’ the green! Some believe in Fairies or more realistically, some of us simply like the mystique of…
