There are teeny little flowers blooming on my Golden Privet hedge! They smell lovely.

If you’re a Gen X’er who doesn’t know what “shovel, turn, SLAP” is, then you can see yourself out. You should have integrated that into your household cleaning routine long ago!

The media in Amarillo usually doesn’t cover the con very well. IMO, they’re not interested in the amazing people who guest or those who attend—they cover it to the extent that it exists and might bring some tourist dollars to the city.

I’ll tell you, it’s the most enjoyable thing as a parent when the kids are not going to bed in an orderly and timely fashion to just yell out, “Schlafenszeit!” and watch the scurrying.

Made some very “cottage core” toadstool cupcakes for the 14 year old’s birthday. Not too bad for a first try!

For today’s #MacroMonday, I’m sharing a pic from last summer of my favorite flower, Carlos Lantana. Isn’t he beautiful?!

Today is a day celebrating love, and I love love. I have lots of it in my life right now. But I didn’t always, and I remember sometimes feeling very low on this day in years past. If you’re hurting today, please take a little comfort in knowing I’m sending love to you. ❤️

if they want to go back to the 1950s, we’re bringing the cuisine back to the 1950s too. you put me in the kitchen, I will spend 100% of my time in there finding how much horseradish and shrimp I can put in Jello before God personally comes down here to stop me.
