Happy Birthday, Daddy. You’d have kept a level head during all of this Covid stuff. You’d have been so excited for our new (and upcoming) adventures. All the golf, all the time. Miss you terribly.

Rustic Lasagna Casserole

I told some friends about this recipe today and said I’d share it with them. It’s the very best lasagna I’ve ever tasted. I modified the original recipe to save some time and some dishes. (I toasted the bread instead of frying it. I can also sauté some veggies together.) — Rustic Lasagna Casserole Cook […]

Yarn Swap The purposes of the swap are fun and stash busting. (As a bonus, we might do a little good for a charity.) 0) Swaps tend to be mostly one-for-one.

Death to Popcorn, the 3rd chapter

Curtains at #DomaLuza

The nice lady who owned our home before us had very different tastes than we do. She had florals and valances and 1200 square feet of pink. She was kind to leave us the sheers and valances that fit the first floor windows. It was just one less thing we had to worry about as […]

Upcoming DIY at #DomaLuza
