A Day for Anniversaries!

Today my husband and I have been married for 29 years!  For those of you who know us, yes...someone did have a mustache and it wasn't me!
It is also my niece and her husband's 1st anniversary.  I love sharing this special day with them.  A year ago today, I was busy making last minute touches on her bridal brunch, which was hosted in our home.  My niece's husband  is an Aerospace Engineer serving in the United States Air Force and she is a fashion designer.  They are currently stationed in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire.  What a great place to be especially with the Olympics being hosted in London.  I love this sweet picture of them taken a few Easters ago.
And here they are at their wedding!  It was a beautiful wedding with lots of family and friends present to enjoy in their happiness. They make a beautiful couple.
It was also a great occasion to get a picture with my guys.  My husband and I don't look a day older than our wedding day, do we?  Now, remember that your mother always told you to be polite! 
There is a quote from a movie that says, "When you realize that you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible".  My niece and I are both blessed to be spending the rest of our lives married to such wonderful men.  May we both have many more years together! Happy Anniversary!

    I loved seeing the pictures of you and your hubby and your boys! I also loved "When Harry Met Sally"! I recognized the quote immediately :-)

    Hope you had a great day and enjoyed your special dinner!

Give Me Life, Liberty and Homemade Ice Cream!

Are you looking for a fabulous ice cream recipe for a 4th of July celebration? Luckily, your search is over! I shared this ice cream recipe several years ago and it is a perfect time to share again. This is a traditional cooked custard recipe my dad has made for years.  It makes the most creamy, deliciousness that you will ever put in your mouth.  You can really taste the difference between a cooked ice cream and a non-cooked ice cream.  It doesn't take long to prepare this recipe and it is worth the little bit of effort you will put into it. In fact, I have all the ingredients sitting on the counter ready to make the custard.  I have to tell you that we often fight over who gets to lick the spoon and clean out the bowl! Let's look at the Starting Line-Up.  Just a few basic ingredients.   Please note that the ice cream salt in the picture is only for my ice cream freezer and not for the recipe!! If you are like me, I like the recipe all at once and...

A Trip Down Memory Lane

I had planned to share my new front door decor, but alas, like many residents of the MS Gulf Coast, all  loose outside objects have been secured as we await the arrival of Hurricane Isaac. Instead, I thought I would share with you a set of my favorite dinnerware.  I began collecting Memory Lane ironstone many years ago, but my love of the pattern began when I was just a little girl.  My Grandma Mercer had one dinner plate.  I imagine that she picked it up either in a box of laundry soap or as a reward for shopping at the IGA of Chattahoochee, Florida.  I came to love her one plate.  My grandmother would make sure that my food was served on that plate no matter what other dinnerware pattern was set on her table!  When she passed away, I was blessed to receive her dining room set which included a lovely buffet with glass knobs along with the matching table and chairs.  I also received my Memory Lane plate. During my search for more pattern pieces...

Mississippi Spice Muffins for Busy Mornings!

Our family has always felt that it was important to eat together as a family as often as possible.  During the school week, this meant breakfast and supper.  During the weekend, it meant all three meals.  Mealtime is such a wonderful time to talk to your children and share their experiences of the day.  It also provides you an additional time to pray together as a family.  Many teachable moments occur during our family mealtimes.  I should emphasize that our mealtimes are spent at the table, not in front of the television.  Breakfast can be very hectic, so when my boys were little, I came up with a simple method to reduce any fussing about what we were going to eat.  They always knew that Monday was Muffin Monday , Tuesday was Toast Tuesday (cinnamon toast, cheese toast, peanut butter toast), Wednesday was Waffle Wednesday , Thursday was Thirsty Thursday (nutrient packet fruit smoothies) and Friday was Free Friday (anything goes!). Weeke...
