    Weekend Snaps – Family Time and Lefse!

    December 13, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    It’s Sunday night, friends, and Joe and I have assumed our positions on the couch in the porch. Quilts draped over us, both eating our DQ Blizzards – he’s on his iPad while I’m writing on my laptop and anxiously awaiting Madam Secretary. (Don’t worry about Teacher Man – he…

    High Five For Friday | Weekend Ready!

    December 11, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I have had mixed feelings about this week.  On one hand, I’ve been in a writing slump for Agriculture.com and I can’t quite find my groove. I want to write a new post but I am not finding much inspiration. Plus it seems like I’ve got a hundred thousand items…

    Kringle to the Rescue!

    December 8, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I’ve been feeling a bit harried and stressed this week. It’s almost as if the Christmas season is rushing by me too fast and I can’t seem to slow down to really enjoy any quiet moments with my family. I realize it’s only December 8 but somehow the early part…

    Turkey Tuesday: Easy Turkey-Mex Rice

    December 8, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Turkey Tuesday is back after a week’s hiatus – self-imposed because last week at work was absolutely insane. As in crazy-busy-swamped. As in we all broke out the champagne late in the day on Friday to celebrate that fact that we had, in fact, survived. This week, though, I’m trying…

    Weekend Snaps | Marathon Nap Edition

    December 6, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I have a couple of confessions tonight: First of all, I really don’t have many photos from the weekend to share, except this one which I posted on Facebook. (So if you follow me on Facebook, I apologize this is a duplication.)  We had a special date night on Saturday,…

    Total random writing.

    December 2, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Who says I need to have a specific topic to write a post? I haven’t been totally random in a while. (Um, Teacher Man would probably disagree, but I’m specifically talking about my blog here.) And I miss it. I miss the creativity of just typing out whatever comes to…

    Weekend Snaps | Thankful

    November 29, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Hello friends! How was your Thanksgiving weekend? As is the case every year, ours went way too fast, and now Joe and I find ourselves on the couch, lamenting that our little break is over. I’m not quite sure I’m ready for Monday – this week is going to be…

    Turkey Tortilla Soup

    November 24, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

      Turkey leftovers (for use in Turkey Tortilla Soup)! I’m just going to leave those two lovely words right there for you. It’s Thanksgiving week and I can’t wait for the big day! This year, the holiday takes on special meaning for Minnesota’s turkey farmers, who experienced a horrific avian…
