We were recently invited to go and try out the new Pumpkin Pancakes that are available at IHOP for a limited time.  IHOP has always had tasty food, so I knew that it was sure to taste great.  The problem was that they also had the Sweet Peach Crepe, so I was torn! I wanted them both!   I ordered one for me and the other for Marc... that way, we could share them both and not worry about the crisis at hand over how to satisfy our taste buds that wanted it all!   Eggs, Sunny Side Up, Sausage Links, Hashbrowns and Pumpkin Pancakes.   Scrambled Eggs. Bacon, Sausage, Hashbrowns and a Sweet Peach Crepe.   As always, the service was great and the food was fantastic!   The pa...

  With today being Veteran's Day, I wanted to remind everyone to try and Thank a Vet... Whenever you see one.  It doesn't just have to be in November.  If I ever see someone in a military ball cap, I always stop and say thanks... Be it the grocery store or the gas station... Whenever I can, I try... Also, please remember that while I am lucky enough to have my Hero home... There are tons of families out there that are not so lucky... Their hero might have given the Ultimate Sacrifice... They might have a hero that is currently deployed..   Especially with the holidays getting closer and closer, it gets especially hard for those in the military... So please, keep them all in your thoughts and prayers.  I am from a military family, grandfathers served in the military, Two Uncles served, My Father-In-Law served and now my husband serves...    Back when I worked at Diggers, I would make it a point to thank all of the "regulars" that I kne...

This was taken right before Marc deployed... (Look at how young Broxton was!) As most of you know... Marc was not home last year... He was in Afghanistan. So, on this Veterans Day... He is home... and we are happy! Please, take a minute today. Thank a vet. Say a prayer for those who have served or are currently serving. They ALL need to know that they are supported. Still to this day, if I see anyone with the Vietnam hat or anything like that... I ALWAYS stop and say Thanks. You can see the thanks in their eyes. And yes, I tear up every single time too. There are Veterans from long ago that still to this day have never been Thanked for their service. You know, when they came home, it was NOTHING like it is today. NOTHING. So, that two seconds that it takes to say Thanks... Might mean more than you (or I) will ever know. For more information on Veterans Day, please visit the Department of Veterans Affairs website. They have information like this: Which is the correct spelling of V...
