Breakfast out with friends. One of our friends is leaving for England at the end of the month so we've been trying to get as much fun in as we can.


Homemaking Tip for this week:
Try cutting your potatoes in half before baking them. Then rub them with shortening, put the cut side down, sprinkle with coarse salt and bake them at 350 degrees for an hour or so. They get a nicely browned crust on the underside and the insides are nice and soft.

Haven't had time to read blogs this past week.


Favorite photo from last week:


Lesson learned the past few days:
