OUR NEW VENTURE
We just purchased a home away from home in Ocean City, Maryland. Both my husband and I grew up having fun in OC. It’s all fun when your a kid. Amusements, rides, sun, sand, and surf; what more could you want? Even at our age, it still calls to us. We bought a mobile home,…

YOGURT CHEESECAKE…1WW SP

THE FUN BEGINS…..IN ARUBA 2019
This year in Aruba we have multiple guests arriving. I guess we talked about it so much they finally bit the bullet and said yes. Two of them are terrified of flying. It should be interesting to get them back on the ground. Hopefully all will go well and they will have a great flight.…

BASIC WHITE BREAD
Well…..I find myself in sunny Aruba again. This is where ATBB first started 2 years ago. Football playoffs are on so we are hanging out at the old hacienda today.

BLACK-EYED PEA SOUP
A new year is before us. There are endless opportunities and possibilities and a fresh start! I’m sure most of you have traditions for the day; I certainly do. For me it’s a time of reflection and the memories made. It’s being thankful for what I have. It’s about the people in my life that…
