Our Sunday Potluck

@n.J @Iam_jauntyjen (5452) 20 Jul

As I wrote earlier, I forgot our Sunday potluck, so I shared beverages instead of food. I was worried we might get late because I lost track of time while doomscrolling - my bad! We took a taxi to the church instead of bus, which...

Here and there an update

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169439) • United States 16 Nov 23

Today is a potluck at work. I made my veggie casserole in the crockpot. I did cook it in the oven for a half hour, then will plug it in at work so it stays nice and hot. I am at a loss. I packaged up some baked goods in a plastic...

20 February - What I'm Thankful for Today

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (323168) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 20 Feb 23

Today was a good day. I probably could have gone swimming this morning, but with temps going down during the night, I didn't want to deal with icy roads this morning. So, it will be a week before I'm back at the pool. Why? Wait...
