I have no Italian blood that I know of. However, the Italian culture is very much a part of who I’ve become. I love Sunday Suppers. The Italian mothers cook all day Sunday and the family comes over to enjoy her labor of love. Sunday night just seems like the perfect time to celebrate the…

Legally and Lovingly Married!!!
Those that saw my last post recall I was in California this week. Malibu has to be in the top ten most beautiful spots in the USA. After some issues with the initial home rental I found this one and it proved to be much more than we would’ve ever hoped for. Here’s the house…

We thought about several travel options for the holiday weekend but ended up at our lovely loft in downtown Memphis…which we seldom see anymore. The farm in Byhalia is becoming more and more like home….

…end of summer
While I certainly still the feel the heat and humidity of summer on the farm in Mississippi my summer activities ended this weekend in Indianapolis, IN. Again, many have asked where I’ve been and complained about the lack of communication. I understand why my cousin at Bake or Break made blogging into a career. I find…
