Holidays

  • Candied Pecans

    Can you believe we’re at Thanksgiving week? Didn’t we just ring in the New Year? This year has flown by. In the last couple days I have been putting together a document on Christmases and as we’re approaching my favorite time of the year, between Thanksgiving and New Years, I’ve been a scrooge the last…

  • Bacon Wrapped Turkey

    In 2012 I was surfing the internet one day and found a recipe for a Bacon Wrapped Turkey. I knew that we were going to be cooking Thanksgiving again this year so I shot the recipe to hubby and asked what he thought. He read through it and said he was in. So the next…

  • Happy Veteran’s Day

    Thank you to the fearless men and women who put their lives on the line every day for this fabulous country! A Thank You is definitely not enough. Washington DC, June 1999 at Arlington National Cemetery and the Changing of the Guard for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Washington D.C.

  • Fourth of July

    Hi… my name is Nicole and I’m a picture addict. I totally like them and I make no apologies for that. The thing I do apologize for is not printing more and displaying more. That’s one problem I have with digital photos, otherwise I absolutely LOVE them! Saturday was the 4th of July. Hubby had…

  • Extreme Fourth of July

    Saturday hubby was off helping the Missouri Governors Mounted Guard. Squirrel girl and I stayed home so she didn’t get to hot and then we showed up later in the evening. I asked him to take pictures for me so I could write a blog post… dun dun dun, he didn’t. I asked him how…
