I have missed sharing our menus with you these last couple of weeks. The weekly menu plan was something that I was doing on Sunday late in the afternoon or early evening as I relaxed at home with my family. I have now decided that I need to plan my menus a bit sooner, Friday…

Dani and I were in town most of the day today doing our “big shop”. The boys stayed home and entertained themselves, which made them available when our neighbor stopped by to borrow our utility trailer. We had a good time out together, and enjoyed a lot of “girl talk” as we drove around. …
