Blessings have been heaped upon us recently by filling our guest room with loved ones. But now. Time to freshen up the guest bedding and here is what I did. Launder Mattress Pad, Blankets and Comforter Because I have cats and dust and lord-knows-what-else floating around my house, I always purchase bedding that can go […]
We were blessed last week to attend the ceremonies and festivities around our DF Leonās promotion to Brigadier General. You might remember I shared a recent trip to Fort Smith, Arkansas and a tour of their Air Force facilities.Ā Our friend the Colonel who hosted us is now the General and we could not be […]
We were so blessed to take a small step out last week (FINALLY) to get out of town to visit friends. Two really important events took place that brought us out of town. And this post is about our leg in Oklahoma City. The event was that DFs Terry and Jerry hosted us in their […]
Are you one who loses your appetite during hot weather? Mmm, me neither. Iām as voracious an eater as ever. But, a refreshing summer salad makes for a perfect evening meal.

Itās been a while since the last Trader Joeās visit and there were some new things I havenāt tried. Hereās a little share of my purchases and some honest reviews.
