Baltimore, MD

We had a great weekend with our friends in Maryland

this past weekend and on the way home we stopped

by Inner Harbor.  It was a tab bit cold but we

enjoyed spending the day at the harbor.

We went up to the 27th floor to an observation deck

and had a great view of the harbor.

And of course after walking around for awhile,

we got hungry.

So many options, but we ended up here.

The burgers were so good

and melt in your mouth with

lots of toppings to choose from.

Its good there is not one of these burger joints by

our house because that would be

bad news for our health.

After lunch we headed over

to the science museum.

 And the kids got to try lots of

hands on stuff.

And the 3D - IMAX

After a long weekend

and lots of fun

we headed home for a new week.

Have a great weekend!

Coffee break...

Hello, Tuesday!

If you stopped by for coffee this morning,
it may be accompanied by eggs and toast.

Actually, there is some cookies you could have but
I'm just having sugar in my coffee this week.

We had a fabulous weekend with some friends from MD
but ate too much, so its time to say "no" to Easter candy
and all things baked and sugary.

Orange Cranberry Muffins.


If you were sitting here with me you would smell
a turkey roasting in the oven.
I am feeling a bit pioneer-ish,
'cause it is a turkey that Mr. Sweet
shoot yesterday during 'spring gobbler' season.

I would also tell you that I am enjoying the spring weather.
Our pool will soon be filled with lots of kids
splashing and laughing and making memories.



I'm thinking about Mother's day and
wondering how I am impacting my kids lives.
Is it more positive than negative -
or the other way around?

We had a big brush fire to burn the other
evening and so we invited the neighbors over
to roast hot dogs and marshmallow over the fire.

The heat was so intense that it was almost too
hot to roast the jumbo marshmallows,
but they hid behind the log so it blocked some of the heat
and soon they were eating smores.

A fun time and memories made.

What would you tell me if you joined  me for coffee?
Anything exciting happening in your life?
Or, not so exciting?

And one more sign of spring....

Thanks for stopping by for
virtual coffee.  Enjoy your day!

Happy Birthday, Bailee!

My niece is a teenager!

Yesterday she turned 13!

WOW!

I still remember the phone call we got

announcing your birth.

We worked together that day,

your mom and I,

and a couple hours after work you were born.

Happy Birthday,

you are a sweet girl young lady!

Happy Monday,

And have fun being a teenager!

We love you,

Bailee Jade!
