**Pulled off my Recipe Blog** As I mentioned in a few previous posts, we recently went to Las Vegas. It was such a great treat to get away from the everyday bump and grind of daily life. Every now and again, hubby and I come up with gift cards to different places. One of the…
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…
Or maybe even a blonde moment… oh wait, I’m not blonde. haha, j/k to all my blonde friends. I have been before in my life 🙂 Ok so Sunday afternoon after church hubby and I went to my parents house. My dad walked into the kitchen where we were standing and handed me this: As…
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…

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…
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…
This last weekend we were out driving around looking for tractor & baler parts. It was about lunch time and we passed by this restaurant. It has been there since February of 2011, but we’ve never eaten here. In fact, we were discussing that amongst ourselves when we passed by headed west. On our way…
