This recipe is from a little treasure I have called “Cherry’s Cookbook,” which is a little something I compiled for a friend out of her favorite recipe cards with the added bonus that I kept a copy for myself. It says the recipe originally came from someone named Joyce Trahon. Let’s all stop and thank [...]
Five Minute Friday: Gentle
January 27, 2012 by 3 Comments
So, on Fridays, I generally lurk around TheGypsyMama.com, reading what others say in five minutes flat, thinking if the week’s topic says something to me, I MIGHT participate. Most times I don’t. You see, the perfectionist in me REALLY likes my backspace button. I mean, REALLY. Without that button, there’d probably be no blog. But [...]

52 Things….I am loved.
January 24, 2012 by Leave a Comment
So, it’s still January, and I’m already a bit behind. No worries. You should see the daily Bible reading guide our family is following. We’re at least a week behind. Still, we press on, and so will I. This post requires a bit of background so I’ll give it as required. It’s funny, but for [...]
Must-See Mississippi: Emerald Mound
January 24, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Yes, I know…it’s a hill with grass on top. That’s what I always kind of thought before…which really was the result of a bad memory of a very long day trip to Philadelphia as a child only to be severely disappointed when we arrived at Nanih Waiya just in time to take a look and [...]

January 23, 2012 by 1 Comment
Remember when I mentioned cooking for friends on bedrest? Well, that’s exactly where this recipe came from…though I don’t really remember if it was delivered before OR after my last baby was born…no matter…it’s delicious! In fact, my daughter enjoyed it so much that she asked me if I had the “structions” so I just [...]

I love flowers and music and God’s Word and… What do you LOVE? Years ago, with our young children, Bill and I took my parents to New Orleans to board the “Sunset Limited” in New Orleans. They rode the train to Los Angeles for a visit with my Mother’s sister in LaJolla and to [...]
Thursday Thoughts…Things from movies on my mind?
January 19, 2012 by 1 Comment
First, let me say, I will be posting another one of the 52 Things before the end of the week, but right now, I have some pretty random thoughts in my head…from movies, no less! For instance, there is only one movie my son will actually sit and watch. That’s not a bad thing, unless [...]
Works-for-Me Wednesday: Freezer Cooking
January 18, 2012 by 1 Comment
Especially when my mom comes to help! This past weekend, that’s just what she did, and my freezer is stocked with ready-to-cook meals, as well as heat-and-eat breakfasts, for the next few months when cooking might prove difficult. I tend to have a LOT of preterm contractions and have ended up on bedrest in [...]
