  Cream of Potato Soup I was given potatoes, had extra onions and had a lot of milk to use up. So I decided to see which recipe would use these items up. Never made potato soup myself  because back in the day, no left over potatoes!  Ingredients 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced 1 cup water 2 tablespoons chopped onion 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 3 cups whole milk 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon celery salt Dash pepper Paprika and minced fresh parsley Instructions   Place the potatoes and water in a saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat; add the potatoes, salt, celery salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with parsley and paprika. I also, added a dash of garlic and a da...

 ***UPDATED 10/2/24*** Cathy's Homemade Wrinkle Release Spray for Clothing  I sell clothing online and sometimes they are extremely wrinkled. Plus, I use this for my own clothing.

After spending a day at the Ark Encounter, the next day my husband and I spent a day at The Creation Museum.  We had been there years ago but thought while we were in the neighborhood we would visit it again.  It is well worth a visit.  There is a deal on the tickets if you buy tickets to both venues together. ~ Ark and Creation Museum Combo The Creation Museum It opened May 28, 2007, and is located in Petersburg, Kentucky, just 40 miles from the Ark Encounter. This building is 75,000 square feet.  Lots of walking involved.  A good way to get those steps in.   It has beautiful grounds with lots of flowers, bridges, and statues. There are other activities as well such as zip-lining, an obstacle course, and a small zoo. There is something for all ages to see and do.  Of course, some of the activities have additional costs. Inside the museum, there is plenty to see as well.  Make sure you visit the Planetarium with no additional costs. ...

Recently my husband and I went to Kentucky.  Why Kentucky you may ask?  I would ask too.  There are several places to visit in Kentucky.  The first stop we made was in Williamstown, Kentucky.  There you will find The Ark Encounter .  It  is a  model of Noah’ s ark and it is massive.  I guess it had to be in order for all those animals to fit inside. Ark Encounter   It opened on July 7, 2016.  We have  been wanting  to visit ever since.  Now that attractions are starting to open, I thought it would be a good time to  go.  And sure enough, it was the perfect time to go.  It was not crowded at all.   This ark is a sight to behold.  It is massive.  You really cannot fathom how big until you are there in person.  As you can tell the landscaping is aweso me throughout the exhibit.  Just take a look at some of the landscaping art I saw. There is an abundance of beautiful flowers. ...
