Recharged and Ready

Hello all!

After feeling quite down last week, (refer to previous post http://juliesjunkdrawer.blogspot.com/2011/07/you-cant-always-have-what-you-wantright.html) I had quite the adventurous weekend and put a lot of miles on my Equinox!  The weekend started (early because I took Friday off) with a visitor from PA!  My college roommate Mrs. Katie "Po Po" Spangs came to visit Beka and I in little ole Fortkinson!

 Friday morning it was off to Fennimore to visit my brother and sister-in-law and Baby Noah!  I got to spend a few hours baby sitting, and had a great time going to lunch and Grab-a-cone (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Grab-A-Cone/120925807931647).  Saturday it was off to Sauk City to spend some time with a long time friend (21 years to be exact) Melissa and make our annual trip on Sunday to Noah's Ark in the Dells.  I guess that pretty much covers most of Southern Wisconsin.

It was nice to just get up and get away for the weekend and spend time with great friends and family!  I discovered a renewed excitement for cooking having been treated to some awesome food the past couple of days.  Melissa and I have decided to start a "Dish of the Month" where we will decide on a recipe, cook it for dinner during some point in the month for our hubbies.  Review the dish and give eachother feedback and store the recipe in our cookbooks.  I will make sure to post pictures to my cooking link (http://juliesjunkdrawer.blogspot.com/p/cooking.html).  Anyone is welcome to join by adding yourself to our facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/222957291082088?ap=1

Happy Monday!

Julie
