    School Lunch

    August 29, 2008 /

    Can I tell you how much I enjoy making school-lunch for my kindergartner? This is a phenomena to me! I hate cooking. I abhor baking. Lunch around here is usually pretty simple; chicken nuggets & fish sticks, cheese-sandwiches or quesodillas. We don’t deviate very much. So I am just amazed at how much I enjoy pulling out *E*’s lunch-box every night and finding good food to put in it for the next day. So here has been our lunch menu so far:Tuesday: Roast Beef Sandwich (cheese, tomato and onion too), Fruit Snacks, Go-gurt, and iced-tea;Wednesday: Left-over Chicken Fingers from Olive Garden, a packet of ketchup, a couple slices of watermelon,…

    Little Wings

    August 28, 2008 /

    I put my *kindergartner* on the school bus for the first time Tuesday. He was so very excited! He practically lept onto the bus. He had a new backpack, new lunch-box, and a smile for the new kindergarten day ahead of him. He climbed into the front seat and peered out the window & gave a huge wave as the bus pulled away. Talk about having wings! I know its only kindergarten but there wasn’t an ounce of “I’ll miss you, Mommy” in any of his actions all morning. After he was gone I will admit I was rather sad. I wasn’t one of those push-the-kids-out-the-door-moms. I really thought I…

    Love Quilting? Do you have enough fabric to cover the state of Texas? I am so afraid that I might fit into both of those… not that the first is a problem… but it brought on the second!The best part of quilting is the creative energies that are generated – and the production of your own piece of art and comfort!Here is a great way to get together with fellow quilters and share the lot: The Great Watercolor Fabric Swap. I love these quilts, as the use a variety of fabric (all 100% cotton).

    Fostering Healthy Relationships

    August 22, 2008 /

    Yesterday I watched my two neighbor girls, age 6 and 8. Their mom, a good friend of mine, is a teacher and had an in-service day and so had to find child-care for the day. I was more then happy to oblige for a number of reasons. The girls get a long very well with my two boys so although I was ‘babysitting’ them, in a sense they made my day very easy as the four kids played *all day*. There was THAT much less whining going on and that much more self-sufficiency. A second reason I didn’t mind watching the girls was they are a good influence. I don’t…

    Amazing Pie Crust

    August 21, 2008 /

    I must admit, I love pie. Wait, I love dessert. But pie in someway makes me think there is a healthy side to the indulgence: fresh fruit. The a la mode addition doesn’t help the cause, nor do the dollops of whipped cream. Back to reality and food function! The foundation of a good pie is the crust – and here I realize that is the part that I really love – the other is a means to a great crust. A crust that is flaky, holds together and easy to handle. The uses for this crust can be highlighted in chicken potpie, an ultimate comfort food that you can…

    Military Friends

    August 20, 2008 /

    Last week we had some Air Force friends visit who we had not seen for a couple of years! What fun it was to share old stories and laugh (or in some cases shake our heads wondering what were we/they thinking)! After retiring from the Air Force both couples relocated for jobs and family ties purposes and they are now in Atlanta and we are in Michigan so keeping in touch is fun but a visit is always better. We took them to a local site, Meijer Gardens for a long walk to see the wonderful statues and flowers. The picture taken earlier of the huge horse sculpture is a…
