Good food and good friends
Rich loves to go to Weissgerber’s German restaurant in Waukesha, WI for his birthday meal. Something to do with ham hocks. That’s basically what schweinshaxe is. So we invited Dave, Chris, Tim, and Deb to go with us. Barb isn’t into German food so declined to join us. We did miss you guys, Barb and […]

That roof over our heads
In recent weeks, we’ve had quite a bit of windy weather. Windy isn’t out of the norm for us here, but the type of wind is. It has been almost gale force at times. So much so that we’ve lost a few shingles and had some others that are literally flapping in the breeze. This […]

Happy 50th Birthday, Rich!
Yesterday, the 10th, was Rich’s 50th birthday. It was a quiet day. No big partying here. He did take the day off from work to enjoy some of his favorite things. Early in the morning, his Busia called to wish him a happy birthday. He wasn’t up yet. We talked for a bit. She was […]

Happy Easter!
Wow, it’s Easter already! This year is flying by. Glad I’m prepared for today though. As I said before, major (and some minor) holidays are Polish eating holidays. I love that. Rich’s family has a lot of traditions and I’ve incorporated them into how we celebrate things. I started off with brunch today. We had […]

Preparing for Easter
Easter is just another Polish eating holiday. That’s a good thing though. I love the foods at Easter. Zurek soup (no kidding) is a fermented soup only had at this holiday. Me, I would have it all the time. I love the sour flavor with the hard boiled egg, sausage, and rye bread. Actually, that’s about […]

Flower beds and Dandies
I’ve had this ugly bare spot in front of the patio. The grass grows fine, but it just had no color or appeal. I sit out on the patio in my jake chair quite a bit. Last year, I planted dahlias in this spot. They grew very well and made the area looked pretty. The […]

Lazy Sunday around here
I knew keeping a blog would be hard. Unless I’m actively planning or doing something, I don’t think that the rest of my life has much to talk about. So here’s a run down of what’s been happening here. Friday was Rick’s last day of spring break. We don’t normally go anywhere or do anything […]

The Tumbling Block Effect
No, this is not dominoes. One of my all time favorite quilt patterns is the tumbling block. I like to refer to it when I can. It’s my blog; I can do what I want with it. Because he was experiencing repetitive motion pains in his wrists, I wanted to change out Rick’s desk with […]

Enjoying my spring evenings
I can’t believe that Spring has come to stay. I know that is going to change in a day or so here, but even that will seem like Spring! I’ve been enjoying my Spring evenings. It’s nice enough to be outside and do a few things. I’m trying to hold back on any gardening just […]

Spring has sprung
So repeat after me: Spring has sprung The grass is riz Wonder where the flowers is? I can say that over the last couple of days, it has begun to sound and smell like spring out there. I stood in the doorway this morning and listened to all of the birds singing while I waited […]
