Thirty-five years ago I embroidered this welcome sign and had it framed. It’s been in every home I’ve ever called my own – single, first, and then married. Right now it hangs in the foyer of my house and it’s the first thing you can see when you come through the front door.

Two years ago I discovered the absolute delishishness of cooking an entire chicken in the crockpot. No fuss. No muss. Just place a whole chicken in the pot, cover it with the seasons of your choosing ( no water, nothing else), and cook it for 8-10 hours.

When it’s done the chicken is the most succulent meat you will ever eat. It literally falls off the bone – no cutting involved!

Delish!

The other day I showed you the chocolate/banana muffins I made for my daughter. Here’s today’s cinnamon swirls I baked for hubby last night.

12 muffins went on the plate at 7pm. This morning? 3 left – and I didn’t eat any.

Neither did the dog!

So that leaves just one person in the house who did….

Once upon a time, pre-Covid, my daughter gave me this card as my Christmas present. That was Dec.25, 2019. She was supposed to get married on May 24, 2019. She and I were going to have one last Fling before the Ring the night before and go out to dinner in NYC and see Hamilton.

Sadly, covid hit hard and the wedding was postponed as was the fling before the ring.

I found this card the other day when I was cleaning out my office and I have to admit, it made me cry for so many reasons…

Like father, like daughter.

I’ve made 4 dozen muffins since I’ve been staying with my daughter this past week. This was yesterday’s batch. By the time I left this morning only 3 were left.

Apple? Meet tree, and call them related! Hee Hee
