Tickled Red

Asleep on the Job…Literally!

July 3, 2010

At 8:00 this evening after a long day of trying to catch up on some chores, as I was folding the sixth pile of laundry, I asked Monkey Two what game we should play in order to pick our winner this evening. Dead air and silence were the only responses that I received. At first […]

July 4th Tradition-Triple Berry Cheesecake

July 2, 2010

Almost every July 4th I am hounded, blackmailed and downright coerced into making this Triple Berry Cheesecake. My surfer LOVES it, especially since he bought me the cook book that the recipe is in. Have I told ya’ll how he takes credit for my cooking skills? Yes indeed, he loves to share that tall tale […]

Flying Monkeys

June 30, 2010

Some days it pays to stay home and not see what my younger brother is doing with my children. Especially with my baby. My littlest. My sweetie. My mostly shy boy. The one who used to hide behind my legs when meeting new people. The one who still has little fingers and toes to kiss […]

In case you guys haven’t figured this out already I live in the suburbs on little over half of an acre. What you see pictured here isn’t nearly half of what has come out of my first “real” garden this year. So don’t let anyone ever tell you that you can’t grow a plethora of […]

June 21st, Our Day

June 21, 2010

This Monday is for my love. Fifteen years ago darlin’, towards the end of a sweltering June evening you walked into my life and changed it unquestionably for the better. It took only three unique dates with you to know that you were the man that I was destined to meet. Like something out of […]

Our Dad

June 20, 2010

We may not shower him with praise Nor mention his name in song, And sometimes it seems that we forget The joy he spreads as he goes along, But it doesn’t mean that we don’t know The wonderful role that he has had. And away down deep in every heart There’s a place that is […]

Hi there ya’ll :) I apologize that the winner of the Barnes and Noble gift card is being announced so late in the evening but we have been at the park celebrating this little lady’s birthday party. Since she and her family are moving in a week we hung out with them as loooooong as […]
