After Baby Girl’s birthday lunch on Sunday, we walked a few steps to the river in Winona. As in the Mississippi River. DIY Guy was tempted to take the risk. But he didn’t. It would have been a long day in wet clothes. We saw a couple of these houseboats. Baby Girl and I thought … Read More

The above hen was free range and did come from a local farm — but she ain’t one of mine. Today I made homemade chicken and noodles. This very statement will make my 3 children … Read More
