Well today is the anniversary of that auspicious day twenty nine years ago when Anita graced us all with her presence. It seems like just a year ago she was turning twenty nine and here we are again celebrating her 29th birthday! Don’t ask me about the math – it works out. So today started [...]

So, to all of our family, friends, followers, and occasional onlookers – may the best of your 2011 be the [...]

No, that has nothing to do with Twitter nor Facebook. It’s the motto of the US Army Infantry! It also happens to the be the name of the statue that sits outside the main entrance to the National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center in Columbus, GA. We visited the museum a couple of summers ago and it [...]

There was some significant construction going on in Godwins Hollow this Christmas. Besides that ginormous new GHFD Fire House there was an addition to Main Street West next to the Lovey Cakes Bakery and the start of a new shopping district on Main Street East.

Despite the recent islamists’ attacks on turkey in Kuwait (an obvious attempt to derail Christmas dinners throughout this sandbox of a country) one of our most excellent friends (who will remain nameless to protect his inbox from floods of email requests) was able to find us a TWENTY TWO pound BUTTERBALL turkey bird for Christmas [...]

So every year we try to have a little open house on Christmas Eve. It’s really casual – just come and hang out, have a drink, grab a bite, listen to some carols – Christmas cheer all around. Well this year was spectacular. We had a great group of friends over, everyone seemed to have [...]
Christmas Eve Critter is Cooked!

Mmmmmm… Been cooking Christmas Eve’s main course all day! We started last night with a brine and soaked him all night. About 8AM I got him out, patted him dry, then started the prep work – mainly scoring the skin. If you’ve never done this it really isn’t far off from trying to delicately slice [...]

Well, if you haven’t heard Santa has been sending his elves out to check on kids everywhere for years now. When I was a kid we had two! It seems that we didn’t know the whole story and thought that the little guys were just Christmas ornaments. Turns out that at night they fly back [...]

Yum! The holiday treats are starting to work their way out of the kitchen! I started things off with some Rice Krispy Treats (because I like ‘em) and some Chex Mix. A few days later Anita had Jennifer and Ava over to bake and decorate some Christmas cookies! We’ve also got Christmas cupcakes and some [...]
