Welcome to Debbie-Dabble Blog!!
I am so happy you decided to stop by!!
Blogging has always been a stress reliever for me along with an avenue to share my passions which are my home and my garden.....
I
feel it is a personal Journal that, hopefully, someday, my Twin
Granddaughters will be able to look back on to learn about who I
was....
I will be posting 3 times a week on MONDAYS, THURSDAYS and SATURDAYS....
As always, click on each picture if you would like to enlarge it....

And now for a few Personal Notes...
For the New Year, I am trying something different with my 3 times weekly posts....
On THURSDAYS,
I will feature what I cooked and ate during the week, showcasing local
cuisine and a few recipes for things that I actually made...
I decided that on SATURDAYS, I will showcase What I Have Been Up To in the past week, sharing events and places I went to, if any....
On MONDAYS, I will be featuring What I Have Bought or Been Gifted Recently, if anything...
Today is THURSDAY so it is time to share what I have cooked and when I have been eating....
I ordered these Italian Herb Grilled Chicken Breasts from Sam's Club....
There were 6 of them in this container and we had 4 of them for dinner the night before with mashed potatoes, gravy and corn...
The following night I made up some bow tie pasta and alfredo sauce....
I cut up the last 2 chicken breasts and added them, along with the juices that were in the container they came in, to the pasta and alfredo sauce mixture...
It was delicious....
Today, I want to share that I returned of my vintage Moss Rose china to the inside my Dining Room Hutch for the Summer months.....
Several years ago, I decided not to use the glass doors of this Hutch and it was one of the best thing that I did.....
The top of the Hutch is decorated in my Victorian style with a nod to my ancestors.....
I did it a bit differently this year....
I decided to display Victorian couples on each side....
These are Home Interiors figurines......
A picture of my Paternal Grandparents, Agnes and Adam, on their wedding day is in the large frame....
They were immigrants from Poland, who had 8 children that became Birth Right citizens, with my Dad and 4 of his brothers going on to become part of the Greatest Generation, all serving in WWII!!
These are all pictures of Mother and my Maternal Grandparents.....
My Maternal Grandparents, Paul and Mary....
My Maternal Grandmother and Great Grandmother, who also immigrated here from Poland, on the left......
My Mother as a child and my Grandmother on the right.....
My Mother as a baby being held by her Mother.....
Another Victorian couple....
Buying it at yard sales, church flea markets and estate sales......
I also display my collection of Indiana Glass Colony Park Lane Clear Ruby Red Flash Vintage Glassware
I arranged the inside of the Hutch a bit differently this year also.....
On the top shelf.....
Middle Shelf
Milk glass goblets with white roses in them are on each side of this shelf....
The small tea cups and saucers are child's set.....
The bottom shelf.....
The Dining Room furniture belonged to my late husband Joe's Maternal Grandmother whose name was Rose.....
She also was an immigrant from Poland, who came here at 18 years old as her father was working in the coal mines....
She never learned to speak English and passed away the year before we were married.....
On the side of the Hutch.....
On the window divider.....
My sister passed on this cupid planter to me a few months ago and I used florals from my stash for the arrangement.....
The butterfly was a gift from my son Jim and his family....
The Joy stone was a gift from my late friend Anne Marie....
I hope you enjoyed seeing my collection of vintage.Moss Rose China.....
The Hutch will stay this way until Halloween when I turn it into an apothecary cabinet.....
I hope you will stop by to visit again on SATURDAY for my next post.....
Stay safe, healthy and most of all, HAPPY!!
And try to find JOY in every single day! 
Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!
