I’ve been making these little yummies for years. (The original recipe is here) I got the recipe from my friend Leslie, she called them Plaza Park Squares. But apparently Paula Dean’s been making them forever too (the recipe isn’t quite the same but almost), she calls it Ooey Gooey Cake. There are variations of this [...]

Surrounded by things I love

by Robin on July 20, 2009

Thoughts on home… I was over at my daughter Bethany’s house this weekend and she showed me the new addition to their office. She and Darren found these old maps at an antique store and had them framed. I was falling in mad love with them and she said the best thing… “I don’t buy [...]
