Isn't it odd the things kids remember? Ordinary, yet memorable things, like eating pizza on the kitchen floor. Love it! Oh, and I could smell your favorite dish as you described it. Yummm.

What a lovely memory, for you AND the kids. Funny how it's the little things that leave behind the biggest imprint.

Hi Mary, Wish I had your green thumb. I can't even grow a weed. I'm really good at killing plants though, even killed a cactus once. I also like Person of Interest.

Your Twitter style blurb is really intriguing. Hope you have lots of sales.

Hi Vonnie, Mackenzie, and Katherine!

Thanks for the visit! Sorry I didn't respond earlier today but my husband and I just got back from Charleston, SC yesterday and spent the major part of today restocking our food. Heaven forbid, I should go without a meal:) I am getting ready for mid-May when my mother and sister venture to town and the kids all come home for a few days...it will be madness, yet so wonderful. I'm already planning the meals.

Katherine- I do love my plants and flowers. I made one major mistake while away- I didn't have time to plant the hydrangea I received as a gift a few weeks ago, so watered it thoroughly and hoped for the best. It was withered to almost nothing yesterday. I stuck it in the sink and bathed it in plenty of water. Today- almost back to normal. Another few days and I'll stick it in the ground!

Hope you ladies had a great day - off to unpack all those groceries...and then decide what's for dinner!!

Best,
Mary
