Happy Birthday, Daddy-O

August 21, 2019August 21, 2019

It’s Daddy-O’s birthday today!!! He’s been a hands-on always-there, fixture in my life… for my whole life.

He’s celebrating with a trip to the Humane Society (for donations), lunch at Spanky’s, and cappuccinos and dinner with fabulous neighbors!

While I hate that we never see him ON his birthday these days, we are all still riding high from our two week adventure to Vancouver and Alaska last month!

Happy Birthday, Daddy-O, and here’s to many, many more!!

Sunday Supper {Two Great Quiche Recipes}

August 18, 2019August 19, 2019

We really upped our “breakfast for dinner” game this week by enjoying two fabulous quiche recipes. They were easy, cooked beautifully and are nice enough for company.
