After a trip to the apple orchard I was anxious to make some fresh apple treats. I am not a huge fan of apple pie and I made apple crisp last year so I decided to try something new. I found a recipe for caramel apple bars and they were delicious. They were soft and […]
Sometimes I just don’t feel like taking my messenger bag when I ride my bike in the summer but I hate it when my purse strap swings off my shoulder. So, I got some leather at Tandy Leather and made a strap to hold it in place. I’ve used it a few times and it […]
The red Fuji is finally done. Upgrades include new rims, tires, crank, pedals, handle bars, grips, brakes and a new seat. I gave the frame a serious scrubbing, got rid of all of the gears and could not be happier with the result. Click here to see what it looked like the day I got […]
The Fuji is all fixed up. I’m still waiting on a nice sunny day to get some good ‘after’ photos but here are a few work in progress shots. I had to borrow a few parts from the purple glitter bike but I still have the frame. Anyone want to rock some sparkle this summer?

I used a frozen pie crust – mainly because my grandmother always does. I also think that Libby’s canned pumpkin is the […]

It was the perfect time for a ‘Friendsgiving’ so we made a turkey and had all of our friends bring their favorite Thanksgiving dish. It was the first time I’d ever participated in the turkey making part of Thanksgiving and […]
