A new addition!

We have a new addition to our happy family. Penny is a bull terrier/greyhound mix and she is just what we have needed for some time! Our dear Pastor's sweet family gave her to us and we are very thankful to them. :) If you only knew how long we waited and begged DD/DH to let us get a dog, you would know how much we love our shiny new Penny!

Boys will be boys

What happens when you send two brothers, ages 9 & 11, out to hang up your linens?
After notifying my DH that I was both upset and amused...he relieved my sheets from further abuse by getting in on the action.
Now tell me..who looks like he is having the most fun, hmmm? ;)

Zucchini adventure winner..

Sorry it has taken me a dog's age to get this posted! We enjoyed all the recipes, but hands down, the one that went the fastest was ADK_lady 's . Many thanks to all the ideas and input!

Zucchini, again?!

We here in the Upstate NY farmhouse have had quite enough out of the zucchini. We have had zucchini stew; zucchini cake, muffins, bread; stuffed, boiled, mashed, fried, grilled, and the latest is zucchini pickles! And this morning, we are having zucchini pancakes. I have been told they are good. Our garden is STILL producing zucchini. I hate to be wasteful, so I have a splendid idea. Why don't you folks tell me some other ways you have eaten zucchini? Post a recipe for zucchini on your blog. Then, send me the link in a comment. Or, if you like, send me the recipe in a comment. I will make every recipe I receive. Our family will vote on the best recipe and send the winner a photo of ourselves! This could turn out to be a zucchini revolution!

Yeehaw! I love Giveaways!

Howdy ya'll! I just found one cool give-away at 5 Minutes for Mom in cahoots with Best Buy. But ya better get crackin' 'cause the contest ends this here Friday! Hope one of ya lucky pokes ropes that t.v.!
