NOTE: I spend my Wednesdays Unplugged from appointments. It's my day to stay home, enjoy cooking and welcome our kids and grandkids for dinner in the evening. We end our meal with quotes from the Norwegian 'Quote Cup' passed on to me from my grandmother. I share a quote and a recipe here each week, and sometimes some photos of family fun. I love trying new recipes...and love getting recipes you would like to share!

July in Minnesota always seems to make one think of the lake, and what better place to relax and play. We spent last weekend up at Sugar Lake with our dear 'Marriage Care' friends who have been gathering together for years. Something must be working because our group of 5 couples collectively shares over 200 years of married life! It has been hot and steamy wherever you are this week... today supposed to hit a high of 100 with a heat index of 113!
