Autumn Festival

We had guests flying in from across the country this year so we had to set the date for the festival in advance. Of course it rained.  We lit the fireplaces, put the coffee on and kept the festivities inside. It was a cozy and relaxing day.  We piled baskets of crafts on the dining table and let them […]

Jambalaya

We had the pleasure of welcoming new friends to Windy Ridge the other weekend.  Andris, Christy and their 3 little darlings. Like most of our gatherings it was a spur-of-the-moment event. Christy offered to make us her jambalaya and I couldn’t pass that up.  We gathered in the kitchen, chopping, simmering, sauteing and visiting while the kids filled […]

Saturday’s good junk

I am so happy that Julie from The Little Red Shop reminded me of the sales going on around town because I needed good junk for my shack project. And good junk I found.  Anna & I met the stunning Christy for the first time ever at Old Town Battle Grounds and spent the rest of […]
