In September, my husband and I were able to get away from it all and spend some time with old friends at a time share in Park City, UT.  It was so much fun!  I hadn't spent a lot of time in Park City, except to go snow mobiling with a friend in 1978!  Other than that, we had always driven past it and said, "There's Park City!  I went snow mobiling there once!"  Trust me, the place had changed since the 70s.  
      We spent some time on main street, we rode on the Heber Creeper (a train), and ate at some really good restaurants.  We spent a lot of time finding places to park because Park City does not live up to its name in that department.  Mostly we played games and talked and caught up with our friends.  

     My friend Kathy, on the left, is quite the seamstress, quilter and other handcrafter! When we entered the time share condo, (my husband and I were the last ones to arrive), she had placed in our room some beautiful handsewn baskets, bags and pouches as little gifts! I was so touched and appreciative!  All of the items are perfect for traveling, and I particularly loved the long, sort of boat shaped basket that ties up with ribbon, or unties to lay flat for packing.  It was a perfect spot to hold my glasses at night and I have continued to use it for that on my bedside table at home.  It is also the perfect size to hold a pen and some post-it notes!  I am not above using it for my glasses and a pen and note paper all at once! 
​

     Halloween is over and the stores are filling up with Christmas decorations!  I love Christmas and I do believe in planning ahead, but I sure wish that Thanksgiving also had a bit more attention given to it than just the 2 aisles of stuffed turkeys and sunflowers!  Sometimes you just have to come up with your own ideas about how to celebrate a lesser commercialized holiday!

        I have used Tupperware my entire married life.  Not only that, my mom used it as well.  I still have pieces of Tupperware that I purchased or earned before I was married.  I've been married for almost 43 years.  I've used other brands of storage containers that have been fine, but I have to say that I believe that nothing really can compete with Tupperware when it comes to keeping food fresh, looking nice in my pantry, keeping out weevils and being easily portable.  
        Recently, someone mentioned to me that they hadn't known or seen a Tupperware  Dealer in a long time.  I was surprised because just a couple of years ago I hosted an online party and earned a ton of new products that I love.  So, without being sponsored or anything, I just thought I would share with you my go-to Tupperware Products that I use regularly.  I will be linking the products to my friend Caroline who is a Tupperware Dealer!

    This is the time of year when I sometimes crave a good baked potato.  When the weather gets cooler, a nice hot baked potato can warm you up and feel like comfort food.  Sometimes for dinner I'll put together a baked potato bar with a variety of toppings to satisfy my craving.  

     Baked Potato Bars can be an inexpensive way to feed a large group, especially if you make it a potato bar potluck affair.  The host can provide the potatoes, butter, sour cream and salt and pepper and then ask everyone else to bring a topping.  My mouth is watering just thinking about it. 

      It is surprising to me that not everyone loves baked potatoes that well, and especially not with various toppings.  Lindsey prefers a sweet potato and has always disapproved of baked potato bars.  When I asked her for topping ideas, she suggested butter, salt and pepper.  Not really what I was looking for, LOL.  Luckily, Maddy and Alicia do enjoy baked potatoes and had plenty of ideas! So, I've compiled a list of ideas that you may not have thought about.  Then, if you decide to host a Baked Potato Bar, perhaps you can enclose the list of ideas in your invitation to give your guests some options.  I mean, it would be a less exciting event if everyone simply brought cheese. 

       Did I leave any of your favorite toppings off of the list?  Pleas add them in the comments below!
