"Time has a wonderful way of showing us what really matters." ~ Unknown
We had a grandson sleepover last weekend. I was busy most of the time, but any time spent with grandkids is time well spent. Grandpa and Grandson had fun together and went exploring on Saturday morning…
…and found some treasures.
RECIPE OF THE WEEK
A Strawberry Spinach Salad recipe from the St. Paul Hotel has been a favorite for about 20 years… it's really all about the dressing, which is wonderful. When our nephew's wife brought a strawberry spinach salad to a family gathering I knew this one would become a favorite as well… again, it's all about the dressing… yum!!!
