Rethinking... Grilled Cheese

A Grilled Cheese Truck?  Yup thats right.  In a recent New York's Time, Dinning & Wine section  is an article about Milk Truck Grilled Cheese.

From Milk Truck Grilled Cheese site...

"Late one night, when I was a kid, my Mom roused me from a deep sleep. She’d just made herself a midnight snack and insisted that I taste it. It was a sandwich—not a grilled cheese—but I remember that it tasted great. And it made me happy. So that’s probably when the idea for Milk Truck started. A grilled cheese sandwich is a simple thing. But Milk Truck Grilled Cheese aims to be more than putting together butter and bread and cheese. We tested tons of different combinations to arrive at the sandwiches we now serve. We obsessed about what kind of bread to use with what kind of cheese. We obsessed over how thick the bread slices should be for each sandwich. (That’s why you’ll see us hand cutting our bread with our handmade bread miter.) Every ingredient in each sandwich is there because we think it needs to be to make that sandwich delicious. Because we really believe that if we make and serve delicious things, it will make people happy. And just in case that doesn’t work, we decided to call the company Milk Truck." Can I just tell you, I LOVE how these people think!!!  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!! I don't know about you but grilled cheese has always been a staple at our house growing up, and one I have served my peeps forever.  Mine NEVER tasted as good as this one looks!!!   Here is their schedule, and places to acquire this delicious favorite, if you live closer to them then I...

I so believe the truth of this scripture.  Here are a few of my good things...


Beautiful flowers in the spring...

The unconditional love for your child... no matter what their age.

A good book that takes you away from all that is in your world... if only for an afternoon.

Yummy treats on a warm summer night.

Building a life with the man of your dreams, and still loving him just as much as the first time you told him.

Hot cup of coffee on a cold morning.

An unplanned trip on a warm summers day

It's 12:01, And I'm Up Of Course

I think it's so funny how at 3pm this afternoon, I was completely exhausted.  Not tired.  Exhausted.

I could have climbed into bed and slept for hours I'm sure.  I decided against it thinking it would keep me up later than I wanted.  Alot of good that did.

Hot tea, buttered toast, and a cozy blanket are my companions along with our three cats.  It is now my oldest sisters birthday.  She is 12 years older than me.  She is the second born of 7.  I am the last.

I wonder if she thinks of our mum on her birthday.  I always do.  I find myself wondering about the day I was born,  and where mum was in her life.  I know she was a different mum to me then she was to my oldest sister.  So many loads of laundry hung out on the line.  Morning after morning of  "toast on the stove" made.  And more than one sleepless night wondering how she was going to do it all again, the next day.

It might sound like I'm talking about my mum, but actually I'm referring to my sister.  The oldest sister who is today, 12 years older than I.  I'm sure on the day she was born, my mother was so very thrilled to see her first daughters face.  She was the second child born to my dad and her, our brother being the oldest.

She must have had dreams, huge dreams for her beautiful baby girl.  But I think that soon turned into expectations of her helping out in things that my mum needed from her.  Being one of the oldest of 7.

One of my very first memories of my sister is on our Memere's swing.  She would sing me songs and teach me the words on warm summer days when mum was busy being a mum.

When I see her today, I will tell her how very much I appreciate the time she took with me when I was little. And how that time spent, shaped who I was, and am, as a mother today.

9 Bartlett Has Been Rented

As of last evening... 9 Bartlett, one of my VERY favorite places to live, has been rented.

I of course am so glad for our landlord, (whom I love), because things are going smoothly.

It makes moving one step closer.  (About a month from now)  That is exciting.

Blue Eyes is of course working his cute little butt off getting it done for us.

Love that man.

I will update photos soon.  I just forget.

In the mean time... don't you just LOVE chalk board walls, words on walls, etc... It is one of my favorite looks in a home, and one I will definitely be incorporating in our new place.

Cleaning, Orgainzing, & Tossing...

I spent today cleaning out closets, drawers, nooks and crannies.

I don't know about you, but I'm A Tosser.  What's a Tosser you ask?

A "Tosser" is someone who can't stand clutter to the point where she would rather toss it out then see it not have a spot to be put in.

I know, I know... it can be a bad thing.  Especially when I toss something that belongs to someone else and they needed it.

Please pray for me.  :)

But for the most part, I just feel like if it is something that is important to someone... why didn't they take care of it in the first place?!

So, out it goes.

It's all in prep for moving out to Vassalboro soon.  Everything is going along nicely out there... and this beautiful, huge, I have soooo loved living here in Mayberry with Aunt Bee... I mean on Bartlett Street...

But as much as I hate to leave, I am so looking forward to where we are going, and all that it has to bring.

This place is being shown tomorrow and Wednesday.  I sure hope they love it as much as I have.
