Sweet Sunday: Easy Banana Bread

Today I had a few very ripe bananas and decided to make a little tasty treat for the family. My Grammy mailed this recipe to me when I was in college, along with $5 to buy a pound of butter and a loaf pan. Great memories and pretty great recipe too. It seems like we never endContinueContinue reading “Sweet Sunday: Easy Banana Bread”

Photo Friday: Jeep it Up

Last weekend Garen got some much-needed away time with his jeep. I think basically a bunch of cool jeep people got together to drive their toys up and down hills and valleys and in and out of lots of mud and water…in case you couldn’t tell.

Celebrating Dad

As I started to write this in preparation for posting on Father’s Day, I saw this…. Looking at this screenshot, you might not even know what struck me as important.            Share your story here… As I sat for a minute, pondering, I wondered how I’d never looked at that phraseContinueContinue reading “Celebrating Dad”

Ozark Mountains/Branson Trip Itinerary

You may remember last year we survived the road trip with the entire family to Branson. We had a great time and loved how beautiful the Ozarks are so we wanted to come back for another trip to enjoy more of the mountains. Garen would’ve loved to just stay in a tent on a stateContinueContinue reading “Ozark Mountains/Branson Trip Itinerary”
