March 14 is always called Pi Day but today it’s even more memorable. The first handful of digits of pi are 3.1415926 so today was the ultimate pi day. 3-14-15 and 9:26 am was when I snapped this picture. I have heard rumor that we will get to celebrate another ultimate pi day next year […]
Opening night was finally here, the stage was set and we were ready for the curtain call. Belle captured the audience with the first song as she wandered through the market. We waited eagerly for Gaston and LaFou to make their entrances. Gaston’s solo finally came and he and LaFou, his sidekick, charmed the audience. […]
I suddenly realized the play is Friday and I should plan on having something for Walker after the performance. I knew flowers were an option but I wondered how much my 12 year old son would enjoy them. I asked around and then did a quick search on the internet. Candy bouquets came up. I […]
Thanks to a commenter’s suggestion, today’s episode of Nosam Eats Things is dedicated to the sweet potato. Mason tries a baked sweet potato, sweet potato fries sprinkled with sea salt, mashed sweet potato with butter and salt, and finally, sweet potatoes with marshmallow. Tune in for his review. Be sure to leave a comment on […]
Thanks to my artful photographer, I have a lovely set of photos to show of my recently finished Quaker Ridge Shawlette. Mason told me to hold my arms out like a bird and I did as I was told. Actually, I really did spread my wings on this shawl. I learned a new technique. All […]

I purchased the Quaker Ridge Shawlette pattern back in August 2012 and have been meaning to knit it up for about that long. Putting my desire into action was another thing, though, because I did not have right weight yarn for the pattern and I have been working on using what I have. (Yarn comes […]
When I spied a Peeps wreath on the internet, I knew just the one who would appreciate it. My BFF Michelle loves Peeps and she happens to be celebrating a birthday this week. I was so excited to make this for her. I used this tutorial and a 14 inch straw wreath form. I needed […]
Because of all the snow, the annual 4-H Achievement Dinner was rescheduled from last Saturday to last night. Of course, we were free a week ago but the new date conflicted with the Iceman Game. Thankfully, one of the friends we have from the group texted us about how Walker had done. He received the […]
At the annual school fundraiser at the Evansville Iceman game, Walker sang the National Anthem with the school choir. If this sounds familiar, he also did it last year. We sat with a large group of families from school and passed the time eating snacks and watching the other team score. (Let’s play I Spy…see […]
