Fun In Louisville #1-HomeTown Buffet #Giveaway

Last week our family took a trip to Louisville, KY. Our main reason for going was to attend the National Quartet Convention Spring Break event, but we also enjoy shopping in the Louisville area, and eating at some restaurants that aren't around the small-town midwest! One of these is HomeTown Buffet; I believe our closest location is over 2 hours away, so when I learned there was one literally right across the street from our hotel, and they offered some guest passes for review (and a giveaway!) I was excited!


Upon entering the HomeTown Buffet we were greeted by a young man who "took our order" (asked if we'd like beverages with our meal, etc.) and then seated ourselves. Our server was a very friendly lady who introduced herself as Granny, and proceeded to chat for a couple minutes. Not all restaurants have servers this polite and friendly, so we enjoyed someone who did more than just grunt when you ask a question!



For most of us, the first stop was the salad bar. I love a fresh salad, and HomeTown has so many ingredients to include. The lettuces and veggies looked fresh, which doesn't always happen at buffets. We did have a small mix-up with dressings that were labeled wrong, and 2 of us had to go remake our salads with the proper dressing after getting a taste of what was definitely not ranch dressing.

After the salads we moved on to the meats and such. I was hoping for a pot roast skillet, as D had tried one and said it was very good, but unfortunately they wireline when I reached the buffet line, and were not refilled at all during our meal. I did enjoy the grilled fish though, and broccoli with cheese sauce-mmm! Other items on the buffet our family enjoyed were create-your-own tacos, Chinese chicken, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, and of course some dinner rolls. There was plenty of variety for each individual taste.




After finishing my meal I headed over to the dessert section, and found something new since my last visit to a HomeTown-dessert "shooters". These are mini desserts in little cups, and include banana pudding, various cheesecakes, and a couple other pie-style desserts. I tried a blueberry cheesecake shooter and a banana pudding shooter, which was topped with a vanilla wafer. The flavor was great, but unfortunately the dessert itself was room temperature-almost lukewarm-which did lessen the enjoyment a bit. 



Overall our meal was good and enjoyable, other than the few things I mentioned. I do like all the variety at HomeTown Buffet, which even includes the beverages. White and chocolate milk, sodas, coffee, and tea...pretty much whatever you're in the mood for!

In Clarksburg WV, but more likely we'd use this further away as we are getting married next month and will be visiting my fiance's family who live four hours away more often. :)

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child.  Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First  TV.  Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age.  And it works!  Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life.  Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words.  Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing.  There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along.  The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish.  Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer.  Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

 Hey neighbors, its with a heavy heart I let you all know that my mom (Lori) unexpectedly passed away the end of June.

Thank you all so much for your love and support over the years. ~Mercy
