Okay, does anyone else feel like time slips by faster and faster as each week goes by? Seriously. I don’t think I’d notice it so much if Mondays didn’t happen. Monday rolls around and I have to plan the week’s menu, but I swear I just did this a couple of days ago. I can [...]

Several months ago now, Daddy made mention he wanted a sock monkey. A real sock monkey, with the big red lips and the big red…other end. Mama made note of it, like she does. She’s always paying attention, even if we think she isn’t. Yes, she made the note, and must have filed it away. [...]

Remember a couple of weeks ago when I posted about the ten things I miss about Arizona? Well, to be fair, I’m following up with the second question people ask me when they find out I’m a transplant from Arizona. “How do you like it here?” I just had another of these conversations last week. [...]

I’m not sure why I even made a menu plan last week ~ unless my plan was to fail. Out of seven meals planned, I think I only made two of them. It’s all sort of a blur, but I think last week was something one would envision while defining ‘fiasco.’ By the looks of [...]

I cannot tell you how comforting this is to me! To know that in a time of absolute uncertainty and most probable change, there remains one thing stable ~ no matter what. When we find ourselves worrying and uneasy, to remember that we are to be strong and courageous, and not be frightened, and do [...]

I seem to be having some of that bad kitchen karma going on again ~ it seems everything I attempt to make turns into a flop. Although, I may have broken the streak yesterday, as the Chicken and Dumplings were delicious. Such a welcomed comfort food, they are. Monday ~ Mesquite Grilled Pork Chops; Garlic [...]

Yes, you read that right ~ paper you actually plant, and it blooms. It’s paper with seeds embedded in it. I won’t create yet another blog post on the internet telling you how to make your own bloomin’ paper, but I will tell you why I’m making such a thing. And, I will provide the [...]

When people find out I’m a transplant from Arizona, they all seem to ask “Do you miss it?” Well, yeah. I don’t think you can call somewhere ‘home’ for 28 years and not miss at least a few things. So, I thought I’d share a few of those things with you ~ not in any [...]

Another week, another menu. I’ve been doing pretty well with sticking with the plan. Circumstances sometimes create changes, but it is still so helpful to at least feel pretend like I know what I’m doing! Monday ~ Cashew Chicken; Jasmine Rice Tuesday ~ Kielbasa; Fried Potatoes with Onions; Green Beans with Cashew Pieces Wednesday ~ [...]

The Will of God will never take you where the Grace of God cannot keep you; where the Arms of God cannot support you; where the Riches of God cannot support your needs; where the Power of God cannot endow you. The Will of God will never take you where the Spirit of God cannot [...]
