Bill wanted to treat the staff at his office to lunch this month and decided Chinese New Year was the perfect day to celebrate. Besides, he is always seeking opportunities to expand the palates of these Midwestern folks who think we are so exotic because we partake in international cuisine. 2020 is the The Year […]
This year Bill’s colleague Tony and his wife Nieva hosted the annual Christmas party in the Carriage House at The Reitz Home. This is a historic Victorian house that belonged to one of Evansville’s legacy families. The residence is always worth a visit as it’s filled with history but at Christmas, it’s even better. Each […]

Mason turned ten today! He woke up with the birthday quilt on his bed and had his breakfast in bed. All four of us snuggled in his room while he opened presents. I had to get creative and pull out some fabric to wrap the extra long box the hockey stick came in. He also […]
The kids were excited about having their Christmas parties at school today. One of the parents in Mason’s class prepared this healthy snack which reminded me a lot of Jordan’s Thanksgiving turkey.
