Each year we celebrate the 4th of July by going camping with a group of family and friends – all together about 20 people.

Tiles Make a Helpful Label for Buffet
There is nothing worse than unidentifiable meat on a buffet table! Have you ever had the experience of biting into what you think is chicken only to realize it is pork? Not that there is anything wrong with pork – but I like to know what I’m putting in my mouth! I really do love … Continue reading

Our Mothers Day tradition is to all meet at a local park after Church and have a brunch. Last year when we arrived at the park there was a group of bagpipers and drummers rehearsing at the park.
