My sister hosted game night and we played the card game “King in the Corners”. My sister made homemade Apple Cinnamon Bread with apples and caramel dip. Papa brought fried chicken and fish. My Sweetness also joined in the games and fun–My sister and nephew also played in the games and goodies!
Life is better with loved ones and fun family nights! Of course, the highlight of the evening was getting to play with my nephew and watching “bop bop” along to music and hearing him squwak along as he played card with us.

My mom invited me for an adventure and she hit the nail on the head with a picture perfect blend of literature and beverages in Fort Morgan, Colorado! I enjoyed browsing the shelves while my mother read her book, while sipping a hot chamomile tea from the shop’s beverage board.
The curator of the shop was also very helpful and I purchased several books, including a Hungarian recipe booklet, which I thought was super exciting. As evidence by some of my previous posts on this blog, I am trying to expand my cooking and baking capabilities and the varieties of food I make (no one wants to eating boring food or sandwhiches all the time!)
Another refreshing surprise was that I was also able to get/find purchase local postcards, which are becoming harder and harder to find but especailly local postcards of the area are even more “rare”. There are also other handmade local items featured for sale in the book store as well, which is a treasure trove for any shopper, books, goodies, postcards and a hot beverage, a shoppers/visitors delight!
A very cool feature of the Bookstore on Main is they also feature a local Author, whom I know, Rebecca Victor (www.rebeccavictorbooks.com). She is the author of several childrens books.
I love the adventure with my mom and I had such a good time today at the shop!
My grandmother’s skills are alive and well as she taught both my mother and myself to can/pickle/jar produce. Holly also joined in the canning and jarring of over 2 boxes of fresh tomatoes (from Honey Acres in Wiggins, Colorado).
While it’s not a difficult task, it does take time to make, from blending up the tomatoes to simmering it down in a giant pot (seasoned, of course) to steaming the jars and lids with sealers and more! It’s a task worth while though and the three of us had so much fun! We had an abundance and as seen, we had made many quarts of successful tomatoe juice for sauces and more!
Visiting family in Colorado is always such a joy. My parents yard/property is full of color and splendor, who wouldn’t want to sure it’s beauty and aesthetics?
Yes, it’s a crab apple tree that I am standing under and it’s full of crab-apples. If I knew how to make hard cider from the crap apples, I would do it!
Don’t forget to check out my eBay! Art, Scarves, postcards and more available
New life on the farm is quite spectacular; even when it’s a fairly common occurence, it never ceases to amaze me.
Mommy kitty has been around the farm for sometime and her new litter of babies is quite stunning! Holly and I moved the mommy and her babies to a shed with coverage as the weather was going to turn nasty.
Traveling is always a job and prep work is a must in my world.
This trip, I am flying Southwest and thus, got 2 free checked bags. Being the scrupulously tidy packer, I, of course, needed 2 large suitcases for a week long trip. One, to haul Christmas gifts to my destination (to save on shipping later, of course) and the other suitcase to pack my own items (clothing, shoes, makeup, the usual) and the treats for family and friends.
Planning ahead also allows me to pick up some coffee along the way to the airport and more! Travel fun, plan ahead!
The taco salad in the photo was enjoyed at La Casita at the Denver Airport, and it was soooooo good! Allowing for a meal at the airport, especailly when traveling all day is an essentail in my book as snacks always don’t suffice.
