This past week….
Skyline in Clean Dish City

Birthday morning for my Birthday Girl. Y’all…. mah bay-bee turned 14 on Monday. I just don’t understand how that happened. I blame it on New Math.

Grits, fried corn and jalapeños with a fried egg and cheese. Birthday dinner.

Girl Wonder requested Birthday Cobbler. I grabbed some peaches from the freezer, twirled around 3 times, sprinkled fairy dust and … voila! Birthday Cobbler.

I made homemade pop-tarts. Because it was sunny and because I can. And because I’ve been reading the Homemade Pantry



A quiet Sunday around here means playing gee-tar with the amp turned down low.

A science project was finished.

I finally got to eat at Sloco.

Bright walls and pretty windows. A great spot to sit and enjoy a leisurely lunch.


I met a friend there. There was inappropriate adult humor and swapping “Things My Teenager Did” stories.

Oh… and the food. Epic good. Fresh. To the brim with flavor. Locally sourced. Win. Win. Win.

Why hello furry fur legged friend.

A hat fashion show. To avoid homework.
