A Snowy Day.
Hi, it’s March and snowing! Last week it was spring, 70 and sunny. Not this weekend, 28 and snowy. A good day to stay in, making meatloaf and homemade oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips. My kind of day.
Kevin just put up the Martin bird house last week during our 70 degree Spring weather!
Easy to make moist oatmeal cookie recipe here.
I like adding chocolate chips to my oatmeal cookies. What do you add to yours?

Best burger this side of the kaw!
Hi there! The first time I drove past this little pop diner I laughed. Never giving a thought of trying it out. Well it was Kevin who took me there one Saturday for lunch.
It was on a day we were working on the house and Kevin said he’d take me out for lunch. It was 10:45 am when we left the house- thinking we were going to KC for our lunch. It’s about a 6 minute drive to Tonganoxie. He whipped into the parking lot for Grandpa’s Burger Box. I laughed and laughed (anyone who knows my belly laugh insert it here now….). Kevin said he wanted to get our order in now before it gets busy. This place is small. Outside of the cashier and cook, we were the only ones there.
You have seen the wooden storage sheds people have in their backyards right? Well Grandpa’s Burger Box is two of these placed side by side. Painted and renovated for making hamburgers and fries!
Okay when you walk through that door, this is the lobby area. Again small. But lots of fun things to see while you wait for your food. Just around the corner from the door is the window where you place your order. The cashier takes your order and rings it up. Then it is cooked to order while you wait. There is a bench to sit on, but I was busy looking at the walls.
For such a tiny place, the pins show a large number of people who have sought out a delicious burger!
Keep in mind we got there at 10:45 am. Once we placed our order within 15 minutes, there were several people who came to pick up there call in order and there was a line beginning to form by 11 am. It’s a hoppin little place!
When our order was ready and we took it back home. There are several picnic tables outside that are clean to sit and eat. As I said it’s about a 6 minute drive back to the house. Once there I took my burger and fries and laid them on a plate. Steam was rolling up from the french fries they were that hot. Just the way I like them!
If you are ever near KC, I highly recommend that you drive a mere 30 miles (from Legends) west for the best burger this side of the Kaw!

Hi, I just had another fun date with hubby…….
Kevin wakes up each morning early. Sunday’s are no different. This Sunday he had to run by his work to lay blankets over concrete just poured the day before. As usual Kevin came in the room to kiss me goodbye. I asked if I could tag along. Surprisingly he said yes. One of the quickest mornings I got ready!
First had to get gas. Next off to wash his truck. Kevin does not like his picture taken. So if I do take one, I have to be creative or sneaky- take your pick.
Another surprise, as we were approaching the waffle house; he pulled in. Breakfast was delicious. While Kevin was pulling the blankets over the concrete he instructed me to now walk on the newly poured pathway. My shoes had just enough heel to indent into the surface.
It’s just been this past year that I have gone with Kevin to his job site. Now with the kids out of the house and it’s just me and Kevin, we are doing more together. Not so much as the dates when we were younger as just spending time together, quality time. I can see why these are called the Golden Years.
The images above are amazing compared to my first visit. The steeple was on the original portion of the church. It was moved during the addition remodel. The other images are of the portion of the remodel from out of the ground. During Christmas there was no roof and the floor was gravel. No doors were in place and no windows- just plastic hanging. I made another request for Kevin to take me when it has been completed.
What did you do on your most recent date?
Best Wishes,
