• A Quiet Evening

  

  A couple of weeks ago, it wasn’t a typical Monday. John is preparing for a class in the morning and working on his PowerPoint. It’s calm and peaceful for me, John might be a little more stressed having to get his class done in time for his 9:00am MST zoom for 300 + people. I…

• Pickled Jalapenos

  This is serious business at our house. Pickled jalapenos are almost classified as a snack for my husband. He loves them so much! First and foremost, DON’T FORGET TO WEAR YOUR GLOVES!!!

• A Small Gift From Our Garden
