Our blue and white butter dish sits on the cutting board and next to it, a fabulous bread knife. We’re bread-y kind of people. When we visited a … Continue reading Magic Bread

When I think back on it, we spent more weekends and holidays in this sleepy little hamlet than we ever did at home. In … Continue reading Harold the Sparkly Pumpkinseed Sunfish
Just wondering...... Do you ever... Purposefully sing out of tune to see how it sounds? Like, really loud so that your vocal chords hurt?
