    Well, here we are on Sunday night yet again. How was your weekend? Ours can best be shown in photos: Look who came to visit us for the weekend! Our niece, Miss Morgan, who is 2 (and a half) and did a pretty decent job of keeping us busy, busy,…

    Shoe Enthusiast | Summer Sandals

    June 2, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Those who know me best know that I do have a bit of a thing for shoes. ðŸ˜‰ I think it’s fair to say, though, that my closet is not overloaded with shoes. I am particular about what I buy. And I’d say I’ve also moved away from sky high heels, which were…

    June 1, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    June signals many things, including the end of the school year and the beginning of summer, but did you know June is Turkey Lovers’ Month®? It’s true! I’m not just making this up because I, in fact, am a huge fan turkey – as you well know. June is Turkey Lovers’ Month® is…

    Today Kind of Sucked.

    May 31, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Today kind of sucked, people. I know, I know. I just came off a three-day holiday weekend so I shouldn’t be complaining. And I get that. I really do. I promise I’m grateful for the weekend.  However, the Tuesday-that-still-felt-like-Monday wasn’t all that great, if I’m going to be completely honest…

    May 30, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Happy Turkey Tuesday, friends! I’ve got a super fun recipe for you this week, courtesy of a turkey-raising family in southern Minnesota. Jane Peterson sent me Cheesy Turkey Hash a few weeks ago and I’ve finally gotten around to testing it out. Can I tell you it’s fabulous? The Petersons have been…

    Weekend Snaps | Memorial Day Weekend

    May 29, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I am sitting here writing this post on Sunday night and sipping a very refreshing glass of rose, very grateful for a three-day weekend that makes it seems like we’ve had two Saturdays in a row. (And certainly beyond grateful for the freedoms in the U.S. we have thanks to so…

    Garden Walk-About | Let It Rain!

    May 25, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    We’ve had 3.6 inches of rain since Monday and it’s looking like Ireland around here. 🙂  It’s always amazing to me how flowers and veggies and seeds just know when it’s a “real” rain from nature – and not the water from my hose. Everything has seemed to pop up…

    Turkey Tuesday | Cheesy Buffalo Turkey Dip

    May 24, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Let’s chat about this incredible Cheesy Buffalo Turkey Dip, shall we? Plenty of lean protein from the turkey breast, cheesy goodness from cream cheese and cheddar cheese, and a full cup of buffalo sauce … is there any question that Cheesy Buffalo Turkey Dip wouldn’t be fantastic for game day…
