Mimi's House: I'm Back....

Welcome

Welcome Friends!! This little blog is for all my friends and family that have requested I share my recipes and other homemaking ideas… As most of you know, we moved onto a 64 acre farm about two years ago… we still have our Family Nights, but now many of us live up here on the farm: Mom and Dad live with Lanny and I, Paula built her house in one of the existing barns, Robbie and Molly built inside the big barn by us… You can check it all out on our blog the Johnson Gap Chronicles… Anyway, I am still fermenting and brewing all over my kitchen, but our Tuesday night dinners are not as large as they used to be. All the grands except 2 are grown, have jobs, live in other cities, and with the recent Covid insanity (and our daughter-in-laws heart transplant) James and Tasha are not out much lately. We just move on and look forward to better days. Thanks for peeking in… check back now and then and I promise to add new recipes and ideas as I am inspired :-) God bless!!

I'm Back....

It's been a while since I posted anything new, and I apologize for that.

It's been a crazy year. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in January of 2016 and that caused a hiccup or two. I had a bilateral mastectomy, no reconstruction and decided against any other treatment. I am happy to report that I am doing very well. Lanny and I try to walk every day (weather permitting) which makes our two pups very happy....not to mention that I've lost around 40 pounds and feel better than I have in years.

We didn't skip a beat with "Family Night". We continue to gather every Tuesday for food, fun and fellowship...it's just the highlight of my week!

I hope you will check back regularly as I plan to devote a little more time to this page. I do have a few new dishes to share and some ideas that have been rattling around in my head.
