    Beauty in Nature

    September 14, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Does anyone do Wordless Wednesday posts anymore? No matter, I have a few photos I snapped tonight on a run near my church. (It’s confirmation night so I was waiting for Joe.) Few words. Just pictures.  Beauty in nature, indeed. God is good.

    Turkey Tuesday: Slow Cooker Cowboy Casserole

    September 13, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Here’s the thing, it’s September which means I always have the urge to go shopping for something new. Okay, maybe a few new items. It’s almost fall … time for layers and boots and dresses and tights. All of which have nothing to do with Turkey Tuesday, except that sometimes…

    Weekend Snaps | Gopher Football!

    September 11, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    First, an important announcement to make … it’s my Mom’s birthday today! 🙂 We wish we could’ve been at the farm to help her celebrate, but Joe and I already had made a commitment to volunteer at an event at church so we connected via Facetime instead. Not optimal but…

    Turkey Tuesday: Turkey Totsagna

    September 5, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Yep, you read that correctly. Turkey totsagna – as in lasagna made with tater tots. Whaaaaat? Mind blown. It’s almost like I should be whispering the recipe title. And you know what, everyone in my house really liked this recipe a lot! Even Joe, who is not typically a big…

    Good-bye Summer

    September 5, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I’m always a little sad to see Labor Day weekend come to an end. It signals good-bye to summer and hello to a more scheduled life complete with school activities, confirmation classes at church, homework, piano lessons, and a busy, busy office that seems to hit its stride in September…

    Minnesota Lake Life | Labor Day Weekend

    September 4, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Hey friends, how’s your weekend going? After a long nap this afternoon (um, over two hours, maybe?), I’m lazing around in my comfy LuLaRoe leggings (of course), working on some laundry and considering some easy leftovers for supper. We just got back from spending yesterday at the lake – aah, Minnesota…

    Minnesota State Fair | 2016 Edition

    September 1, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Joe and I have this mother-son thing about the Minnesota State Fair. Often I have some work-related events to attend to at the fair and for the past several years, he’s come with me to hang out. I work for a few hours and then we play for the rest…

    Turkey Tuesday: Fettuccine with Tomato Cream Sauce & Sun Dried Tomato Turkey Breast

    August 30, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Last night we had Joe’s middle school’s open house, where I found out my son – the 7th grader – will be learning to cook this first quarter. Woot woot! I think I am way more excited about this than he is. And yes, I could be the one teaching him…
