Do you remember the 2001 Romantic Comedy Serendipity starring John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale? Well back in 2005 for my college graduation present from my mom, she took me to New York City. One place on my must-see list was Serendipity III. Do you remember that Frozen Hot Chocolate they ate/drank in the movie? …
You have no idea how happy I am that God brought us back together. We drifted apart, but partially I think we both had to go make our “mark” on the world. You left yours on a wall in Afghanistan and I wrote mine in the beaches in Costa Rica. We took very different paths…
Saturday afternoon my hubby and I were tired of hanging around the house. It really was too hot to do much, so we jumped in the car and headed off toward West Mineral, KS toward Big Brutus. About a year ago or so we had a really funny conversation about this one restaurant in this…
With the temperatures scorching us here in the Midwest (We’re supposed to see 100 today!), I wanted to share this great little Ice Cream place that’s just around the corner (You know, depending on where you live…). A few weekends ago we went out to lunch with my parents. When we were leaving the restaurant…
When I was a little kid my dad called me McGillycuddy. I have no idea why. I have no idea where the name came from. I don’t know anything about the name other than he called me that and I answered. It was one of the very few nicknames I’ve been given. Normally my parents…
My mom’s job takes her all over the US and really the world. She’s traveled abroad to Canada, Mexico, Brazil, England, Germany & China along with many states here in the US. With that being said, she’s eaten at a lot of good and not so good restaurants along the way. When I started dating…
I’ve told you before that one of my husband’s favorite side dishes is corn. I might even go out on a limb and say he could make an entire meal out of corn, but it might need a bit of meat in it somehow. Maybe this is something I could work on… Back in 2009…
I came home last night and hubby was laying on the bed not feeling the greatest. I changed out of my clothes, turned on the tv and snuggled up next to my hubby. We’ve been watching a Gilmore Girl’s marathon. We no more than turned the tv on got the dvd set and the power…
When I met my husband, he always commented on just how much he loved corn. So that year for Thanksgiving we introduced him to my grandma’s corn casserole recipe. He’s never looked back :). So anytime I run across corn recipes, I have to share with him and generally we end up trying them. Fresh…
Recently my husband and I went to Las Vegas for a short getaway. He’d never been and the last time I was out there I was 20, 2 months before I turned 21. Truthfully, it was about the same time of year even almost down to the weekend, but not quite. In 2003 I was…
