    A Simply Perfect Mother's Day.

    May 11, 2014 - By ldurben@charter.net

    My Mother’s Day was perfect for many, small reasons. 1. Breakfast in bed. This has been a tradition in our house since Joe was old enough to help in the kitchen. Joe delivered an egg, over easy, on toast, a big bowl of fresh strawberries and a glass of cranberry juice…

    A Little Bit About My Monday.

    April 28, 2014 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Happy Monday, all! It was a gray, dreary, windy, cold and rainy spring day here – barely surpassing 40 degrees, not that I noticed or anything. The only saving grace on this ugly day is the fact that I can actually use my favorite umbrella! Of course, the real (read:…

    Wordless Wednesday: Silly Selfie

    March 5, 2014 - By ldurben@charter.net

    A silly selfie before we all go to bed … another Wednesday done and in the books, another step closer to the things we’re looking forward to: Me – My convention (the Midwest Poultry Federation Convention) and, immediately following, recovery and relaxation on our spring break vacation in the Florida…

    Quiet Moments to Cherish.

    February 19, 2014 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I often blog or do other work at the kitchen counter. I sit on one of our barstools, type away on my laptop, and Earl the pug sits right underneath me on the hardwood floor. He is oblivious, it seems, to the fact that the floor can not possibly be…

    I've Been Ignoring You.

    February 11, 2014 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I’ve been ignoring you.  I’m so, so sorry. I want to blog, I really do. I would blog every day if I didn’t have, well, a whole mountain of other responsibilities to take care of first. You know, things like a full-time job and family activities and picking up special…

    Wordless Wednesday: A Pug Hug

    September 18, 2013 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Apparently it was a little tough this morning for Joe and Earl the pug to get out of bed – perhaps a reflection of the misty rain and gray clouds filtering into the room. I think they would’ve rather snuggled a bit longer instead of getting up and getting on…

    Staycation = Simplicity

    August 1, 2013 - By ldurben@charter.net

    While I am still a little worked up about the whole Panera Bread (#PluckEZChicken) thing, I have truly tried to be “on vacation” this week and give myself a break. (My Panera Bread post is here – and a follow up from Dairy Carrie is here, plus a spot-on blog…
