Photo Friday: Willy P, Basketball Star
Will started playing basketball. He’s having a blast. He’s got a great coach and assistant coach and I think he enjoys playing with his teammates even though none of them go to his school.

This vacuum really sucks! Ok, ok….I’ll cut out the cheesiness for now. But really, this vacuum has been worth every penny. It’s so great we named it: Mike Dyson.

Blueberry Crumble Pie with Shortbread Crust
I love blueberries….any way you fix them. Growing up, my Grammy made a lot of blueberry muffins, blueberry cobblers, and, occasionally, a blueberry pie. For quite a few summers in a row, one of my Uncle Mo’s good friends provided a steady supply of fresh blueberries. Grammy always froze them and we had (almost) freshContinue reading “Blueberry Crumble Pie with Shortbread Crust”
