    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier September 19, 2025September 19, 2025

    What do you do when you are unsettled? For me, I don my apron and start cooking, baking and creating in my kitchen.

    Thanksgiving is just 5 days away and I so look forward to this one holiday which is all about family, friends and food. It will be a low key day for us, celebrating with our youngest daughter and her boyfriend. Since my older two children are out of state with limited vacation days from work,…
