The simplest, tastiest, feed-a-crowd barbecue I know of. Warms your tummy in the winter. Helps you avoid turning on the oven or even the grill in the summer. A frugal fast food for slow Sundays year ’round. Sharing an Independence Day meal idea (or any time of the year idea) at $5 Dinners!
My dad showed me a robotics website and he asked if I was interested, I said yes. Robotics is of course building the robot and programming it to do what you want it to do. Programming is fun because you get to enter a code telling the stamp (the robot’s brain) what to do. I [...]

Ever since our heavenly hydrangeas nature study last month we’ve been thinking about a hydrangea pastel lesson. And every time we admire the hydrangeas by the front door, the deep blues in the side yard. The range of colors in our yard this year is simply beautiful. So, for a pastel lesson, you too can [...]
Mid-morning on Monday the 20th, Lil Buddy, sitting next to me, leans over and hugs me hard. Says, “you know what? I’m your best friend!” Is there anything else to say? I’d be happy with that. But besides this sweetness from the littlest there is the sweetness of summer. Watermelon. Ice cream. Iced coffee. Daylillies. [...]
