My First Garden!

Garden

I have never attempted to grow a garden before. As a matter of fact, I don't have a single plant in my house and I am not big on flowers because it seems like whenever they come near me- they die.  I forget about them and they die.  When we moved into this new house- they already had a section of the yard dedicated to a garden. There was nothing in it, but the structure was there, so I thought "Why not?"  I went to Home Depot- bought a ton of packages of seeds for all the vegetables and … [Read more...]

Zoppe Italian Family Circus- My Favorite !

zoppe circus

Zoppe Italian Family Circus hit our town again this year- and just like last year, I loved it. It is now my favorite for so many reasons. We have taken the kids to a few large scale well-known circus, and we had fun, were entertained and would go back, but Zoppe holds a special palce  for all of us now.

To start- the whole "family" … [Read more...]
