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 [...]
Notes from Nana: Influence of a Mother
January 22, 2012 By Leave a Comment
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 [...]

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 [...]
An explanation….or two.
January 3, 2012 By 1 Comment
In my previous post, I promised to explain a bit about why I’ve been so bad at blogging (and cooking) lately…so here goes. I’m pregnant, and that means: I’ve been doubly tired. I’ve been doubly nauseated. I’ve been doubly preoccupied with all things pregnancy. and if you haven’t guessed yet…. I’ve been doubly blessed. We’re [...]

The art of communication…or the lack thereof.
November 29, 2011 By Leave a Comment
So, the blog’s been pretty slow here lately because life has not been. You know. You’ve been there. Maybe your Thanksgiving plans weren’t thrown completely off course by a stomach virus and the mounds of laundry it created, but still, you understand. Sometimes, just getting through the day and not forgetting to fix dinner is [...]
Thanksgiving Week…..Day One
November 21, 2011 By Leave a Comment
So, unlike everyone on Facebook and practically half the bloggers I follow, I haven’t been making a thankful list all month. I’m always a bit behind. I did think I would share some things I’m thankful for this week though. (Or at least today anyway…) I’m thankful for my mother-in-law, who cracked and shelled all [...]
While He was still speaking….

I took this photo nearly four years ago. I love it. Not because of the composition or the lighting or even the fact it was taken in Africa. I love it because somehow I feel it. I have no idea what this young mother was thinking as she rested her head on her hand in [...]
Notes from Nana: Seasons in Alaska and Mississippi!
October 13, 2011 By 2 Comments
I saw yellow autumn trees decorate the mountain-side in Alaska a month ago! With a lovely group of Mississippians, we took the last Inland Passage Cruise of the season from Vancouver to Seward, closed down the chalet in Denali National Park and rode the last train before winter from Denali to Fairbanks. A [...]
