Update on the rat situation in my car!  If you didn't read yesterday's post, I have been parking my car outside the garage since we have the bathroom project going on.  A light came on so I took it to the dealer and they found a huge rat's nest on the engine of my car.  Thankfully, it's all covered under insurance and I have a $100 deductible, so that's a blessing.  I got the report back from the … [Read more...]

Last week for Easter, I made this delicious squash casserole again for our family.  It's a recipe we turn to over and over again and we originally got the recipe from one of the sweet ladies in my dad's church who always had the best Southern recipes.  She somehow shared this one in our church cookbook, from a popular restaurant at the time, Aunt Fanny's Cabin here in the Marietta area.  That … [Read more...]
