It’s been another busy week at Casa de Stilwell and another short post. Today I’m headed north to Harrisonburg!
James Madison University is situated in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. The drive along Interstate 81 is gorgeous and I never complain about it.
I believe this is my last trip for a while, but I’m afraid to make that claim yet.

Of course Clayzmama made the faves again this week. Her post about lemons is full of fun facts and great info.
I had no idea you could FREEZE lemons! Yep, hurry over and check it out.

My friend, Cathy Baker, shared a great post on creativity:
Her 10 Quotes On Creativity are highly-tweetable, including
“Every exit is an entry somewhere else.” -Tom Stoppard
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And my super-healthy and inspiring friend, Marisa Bernard, posted her Fresh Salsa recipe:
She shares great healthy-eating tips and recipes on her blog, My Yearlong Journey.

Here’s one last funny –
Have a GREAT weekend, everybody!

























Clayzmama is certainly one to remember. Lots of great info.
I just came across a Crockpot Chicken and Salsa recipe where it calls for canned salsa. Please! Not with Marisa’s recipe in my pocket. It looks delicious.
Have a safe trip — and thanks for the mention.
I’m delighted you enjoyed the quotes on creativity.
I’m with you on the store-bought salsa, Cathy. Nothing better than FRESH
Yep! I’ve hidden a ChickFilA chocolate chip cookie just recently…except not from family, from a friend of my daughter. A little disconcerting to admit that.
Praying for your safety!! Love you!
Oh, everybody in my family has hidden stuff from the rest of us! My problem is that I hide stuff and then forget about it
Had a great day in H’burg – thanks for praying! Love you!!
Gotta try the salsa recipe!!! Thanks for the link to my blog and I would hide ALL Chic-fil-A from anyone!!! Love that place!!!!
Funny story:
When the kids were growing up, we had a rule of ‘no food in your rooms’! So I was taking laundry into Bret’s room and he was laying in bed watching TV. His TV was on the dresser and I opened the drawer to put his laundry away and just stared at him….I said, “Really, Bret?” He just looked at me….so I repeated myself. He had no clue to what I was talking about so I told him to come look……He had forgotten that he had a BOWL OF SOUP cooling in his drawer!!!!
We laugh NOW…but I wasn’t laughing then (at least he didn’t SEE me laughing!!,)
SOUP? Yeah, only a guy would do that. We had similar rules in our house. Which were ignored…
Thank-you so much for including me in your Friday Favorites… what a way to plant a smile on the face of another
I tried to open your link to 10 quotes on creativity and a Google error message appeared (perhaps it’s something I’m doing wrong). I would love the link… if you can send me a private message including it that would be great! Sounds like something I would enjoy right now… Speaking of creativity, my daughter said I really must check out Etsy. I know nothing about it, but she said my creative juices would run wild! lol!
Anyway, enjoy your weekend, Susan (I know I’ve said it hundreds of times… but, you really are a treasure!)
Marisa
Hey! Sorry about that link, but THANK YOU For letting me know! It’s fixed now!
Thanks, Marisa!
Did you see me hide that parmesan bread from Whole Foods????? Its like you KNOW!!!
Yes I did, but I’ll keep your favorite hiding place a secret
