Wyoming and Barbecue Foil Packs

Today is National Wyoming Day. Wyoming – how I love that state! I love the people. I love the hard life it offers. Sometimes I wonder where we might be today, had we moved to Wyoming way back all those years ago. But then again, there would be no Kiddo or Kamren or Grace.

National Coquilles Saint Jacques – Sort of

Hello Neighbor. Did you know that today is National Be a Good Neighbor Day? We should all be good neighbors, or at the very least try to be good neighbors. Sometimes that’s easier said than done.

Awesome Ro-Tel Chicken Enchiladas

All I can say is it’s a good thing today is Tuesday. It’s also Butterscotch Brownie Day. Great for me, not so much for Hubby who is not a fan of Butterscotch. I like to suck on Butterscotch Candies and drizzle butterscotch over ice cream. A Butterscotch Brownie deserved it’s own special day.
