    January 10, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    It’s not really Sunday night, right?  Sigh. I know the truth but I’m ignoring it for a little longer. I hope you don’t mind. Another sigh – we didn’t win the massive Powerball drawing Saturday night, but we had fun dreaming of what we would do if we did win.…

    New Favorite Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

    January 4, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    For years, I have made the same recipe of Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins because it was Joe’s favorite. It’s a good recipe (find a link to it here) and easy, allowing me to get a dozen muffins on the table in about 20 minutes flat. This week, however, we have officially…
