Greats gathered around a birthday cake. Caught in the moment! This could be 2024 or 1970...

Some of my great niece's and nephews (current). Missing the one local, one who lives far away, and another little one who arrives in October🐣

Who knew?

People always ask why they should have a smoke detector within 10 feet of bedrooms in the hallway in addition to one in each bedroom. That is because it is safest to close the doors in your home, especially when you're sleeping, to give you a survivable space in the event of an emergency.

June 19 marks the day enslaved people were officially declared freed in the United States, back in 1865.

This date has been celebrated for years and IS a U.S. Federal holiday!

You've heard of chili cookoffs before. I think Banana Bread bakers should do more bake-offs.

Here's the recipe I've been using for over 40 years that has served me well.

Pictured with the last loaf I made and gifted to a niece. This loaf made its way to a BBQ hosted in part by a niece. I love this beautifully presented treat.

I am beyond blessed to be known as Aunt Linda around these parts. Especially those extended family in the many alumni from Macalester College, Class of 2013!

Quick, easy, affordable, and a hit! Joe tested and the family approves. These are my new fav list to make and eat!

Something I learned just this year...

Why don't loons walk on land?
Loons are perfectly adapted for swimming, diving, and taking off, and landing on water. But, once grounded, loons cannot take off. Their legs are too far back on their body for them to walk on land.

If you ever see a grounded loon, be sure to report it to local habitat folks so they can relocate them!
