My daughter has been getting into family history lately and that excites me because that is about the age that I began being interested too. She's started a project of collecting family stories and I think its going to be great fun to collaborate together and discover more about our genealogy!

Tuesday, August 25, 2009 I was in the mood for comfort food, but I really didn't want to cook. But when I thought of Country Fried Steak and Cream Gravy, I decided it would be worth it. So after spending quite a bit of time in the kitchen tonight, I came up with this wonderful dinner. It tasted SO GOOD! And there is enough left over for dinner tomorrow night so I won't have to cook! YAY! Wednesday, August 26, 2009 The kids sat out on the porch tonight waiting for Daddy to come home. It took over an hour for Dad to actually show up, but Mom got some really cute photos of JJ & Beth as they ... [Read More]
