It’s been difficult to not have Internet access at my fingertips for the past week.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We made the long {two whole\u00a0days}<\/em> trek across country to\u00a0a tiny little town\u00a0in the middle of Kansas.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I think I lost my desire for cooking\u00a0somewhere\u00a0between Oklahoma and Texas…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Going from a large city with a large house {with an actual kitchen},<\/em> to an itty bitty town, and an even itty-bitty-er kitchen has not been ideal for my meal plans {or for the Man, who feels deprived of decent food}.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I am getting re-acquainted with my culinary skills…so no worries, you’ll be getting some new recipes soon!!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"A<\/a><\/div>\n
Here is the skinny on my new situation:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Since the Man has been working out of town for the past two years {stinkin’ economy!},<\/em> we decided it would be best for the family if we all travelled together.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So we packed up all our stuff and put it away in storage {even the washer and dryer}.<\/em>\u00a0We took just the essentials with us in our 5th wheel trailer, and away we went!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Hopefully you’ll enjoy some of my new adventures.<\/div>\n
If not, there are always the recipes!<\/div>\n

Girl #2 has been enjoying the trip…eating Cheerios…who wouldn’t love that?<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/div>\n
Getting clean clothes means a trip in town to the local laundromat. Thank goodness for the old school arcade games! Girl #1 and Boy #1 are enjoying every minute!!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I have some good things planned for this week; Scallops, BBQ Pulled Pork, and maybe a simple treat\u00a0 or two!<\/div>\n

Thanks for being patient with this new small town girl…<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
