Hi Maria, have y’all ever been to Jackson Hole? We are taking a trip there in January and wanting to know some good places to eat, things we should definitely do, etc.
Yes, we’ve been to Jackson Hole a few times. Are you skiing? Persephone Bakery is a must!
I love reading your post. You make me smile. The lunch you printed today sounds absolutely fantastic! I wish someone would fix it for me. You sound a lot like me except that I’m now 92 years old and have slowed down considerably from what I used to be.
I wish I could make you lunch! Thank you for reading every week!
I would love to be a guinea pig and taste anything you make! Too bad I live in Washington.
Favorite ice cream – anything chocolate (Tillamook chocolate mudslide, Tillamook Chocolate PB, chocolate extreme moose tracks, etc) and new favorite – Nutella Ice Cream, so creamy, light and delicious. Any other ice cream like butter brickle, lemon shortbread, white chocolate raspberry, etc are way too sweet for me, I can only have 1 bite, for some reason.=)
I am craving ice cream now:)
I have started listening to the podcast “Dinner’s on Me.” It’s good
Thank you!
Hey girl- Ooh great list! Yummy food and cute clothes! Love the pic of the boys! I love chocolate ice cream the best with chocolate chunks! It is heating up here in Oklahoma to. Going to be 105 one day this week-ugh- to hot! Hope y’all are having a wonderful weekend!
Time to have some ice cream:)
