A friend of mine and my mother in law had pointed somethings out about Dakota’s artwork.

That is something we have been working on around here as well as the Twentieth Century.  Read more...

Recently a good friend of mine passed away. One of the things she enjoyed was cooking. I loved the ideas she would give me and I will her trying my new recipes for baking!
