    January 17, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Oh my word has it been cold this weekend! I know, I know … I live in Minnesota, after all. But I don’t care how native you are to this state, when you wake up to this on your phone, it’s officially bleeping cold! This kind of cold doesn’t necessarily keep…

    January 14, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Raise your hand if you’re ready for the weekend. (Pick me, pick me!) It’s been a good week, but I’m ready to hunker down at home, do a little baking (Joe actually wants me to make these!), cook something Pioneer Woman-ish for my family, and perhaps start reading a new book.…

    Weekend Snaps: Sunday Already?

    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.…
