    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. I suppose it’s better than some other vices, but there is something about the smell of bread baking, apples cooking, or onions simmering in butter, that is balm for the soul. It’s…

    Saturday Meanderings

    Happy July 4th weekend! We had a marvelous time yesterday hosting a pre-parade brunch for about 25 people. The Bullfrog Loop parade is a slice of Americana, with homemade floats, decorated golf carts, parents, children, young and old participating. With the parade starting at 11:00 a.m., our guests start arriving beforehand to grab a bite,…
