MONDAY MONDAY


What about Monday. I always find it hard to get back into gear on Mondays. This weeks Feature Friday is set to go for Marlene for her shop http://www.lazyhawk.etsy.com/ I am very excited to do this for her. The temps are cooler today and we got washed out with a lot of rain over the weekend. YAY for the pollen really bothers me. The plants and trees are loving it. I did some shopping this weekend. I found packs of blank recipe cards. Do you keep recipes? I started doing this when I was a little girl. I don't know where they went to. So I have decided to start writing my recipes favorites and ones I want to try that may become favorites. Something to pass down to perhaps my grandchildren or sons. My sons have a few favorites of Mom's cooking. I also belong to a swap group that swaps recipes. Check out http://www.swap-bot.com/ for every possible swap you can think of from recipes to books, arts and crafts, supplies you name it. It is so much fun!

  1. Happy Monday, Glenna - I'm staying in as much as possible, my A/C cranking night and day, but I'm tired of being hot and sticky and suffer the consequences when my next electric bill comes out.

    Stay cool and have a wonderful week. I'm crocheting potholders - my latest addiction!

  2. Swap-bot is great. I've mainly been doing postcard and chocolate swaps, but I'm thinking of doing one about photographs ...

    Nice recipe, I love anything with parmesan cheese.
