Happy St. Patrick’s Day! As is tradition, the Kassel Family went to Flat Branch for lunch.

While Andy enjoyed Corned Beef and Cabbage, I enjoyed Oil Change Stout.

Some traditions are worth keeping. I just wish that we could have hung out there longer.
It is adult fun this afternoon as Andy and I attended the 2019 Missouri Beer Fest. I think that Andy’s socks say it all.

It was a fun afternoon getting to taste all the different beers, hang out with friends, and just be with my husband. I love the Missouri Beer Fest!

This is John’s Google Doodle contest entry. I think he has baseball on the brain…


Andy and I went out for a couple of celebratory drinks. My interim appointment and the salary was approved today. It is only for while I am Interim Director, but I will take it! The Kassel Castle will be getting a new garage door and some work done on our half bath.

Growing up, I made pie crust from scratch. There was no such thing as store bought EVER. My mom was a master at it and she passed that trait to me. I have followed that religiously, and am working to teach Laura how to be a master. Today, I might have slipped a little… I can just hear my mom now, “You BOUGHT pie crust?!? Did I not teach you anything? What is wrong with you?” I am well aware that my mother is glaring down at me disappointed (I might be smiling just a bit at that). However, I found a homemade pop tarts recipe and I figured maybe it would be easier just this one time. So, I’m sorry, Mom, and I promise that it will never, ever happen again! I love you though and miss you every day!
