It’s easy to overlook God’s plan once the road to salvation has been revealed. Yet even before Eve gave Adam the apple to eat, God had a plan. Man’s fall from grace did not come as a surprise. It came as a consequence of man’s free will.

I'm a wife, mother, grandmother and avid home cook.I believe in eating healthy whenever possible, while still managing to indulge in life's pleasures.
Farewell to What Once Was
On a warm Saturday afternoon Hubby and I packed up the family car with our contributions to a sad farewell party held at the Family Farm. It’s been the gathering place for forty years. The focal point of our family.
Continue reading “Farewell to What Once Was”Saturday’s Smokin’ Good
I know I’ve been sharing a lot of old photos lately. We are saying goodbye to a part of our lives that have been there for what seems like forever. The farm. So many campouts and family gatherings have been held at the farm.

Have you ever spent time in the desert? There is a beauty to the desert unlike anything else. Today we celebrate Arizona, a desert state that has more than its share of beauty.

Welcome to the Summer Solstice. Today begins the official, as in on the calendar, beginning of summer. But we’ve known summer was here since Memorial Day, when we all filled our propane tanks, got that wood for the smoker and made sure there was plenty of charcoal in the bin.
Continue reading “Summer in America Has Arrived”Kicking Back on a Hump Day
You know, once upon a time Hump Day meant something to me. I’ve been retired for so long, I’m lucky I know what month it is let alone what day of the week. Well, that’s not entirely true. Since I still see my guys off to work in the mornings, I do know the difference between a work day and the weekend.
Continue reading “Kicking Back on a Hump Day”Fathers Matter
A belated Happy Father’s Day once more. Men are such an important part of family life. They are the examples that boys will grow up to be. Rodney Atkins put it so well in his song Watching You. But it’s not just the influence that a father has on his son.
Continue reading “Fathers Matter”Eat Your Vegetables – Not!
Way back in 2022, we had a little chat about National Eat Your Vegetables Day. In our house, vegetables are a touchy subject. I know we should eat more but darn it, burgers made from cows are so much better than just about any plant based thing.
Continue reading “Eat Your Vegetables – Not!”Perfect Father’s Day Grill
While this amazing supper is the perfect way to tell Dad we love you, it’s not what I’ll be serving on Father’s Day. After all, to get the pictures for posting and tweak everything just right, I needed to test drive the recipes long before Father’s Day.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Today is National Photograph Nature Day. What better way to share this day than to sail away to Hawaii and Mexico. Enjoy!
Continue reading “Oh What a Beautiful World”And the Winner Is – Who Cares!
There is a reason why most women do not know a thing about sports. We simply don’t care. In the greater scheme of things, who wins the Super Bowl will not impact the world at large. Hubby finds my way of watchig sports amusing.
Continue reading “And the Winner Is – Who Cares!”Welcome to New Mexico
Today is National New Mexico Day. I suppose I really should talk about how awesome New Mexico is (and it really is) but I’d rather talk about something else if you don’t mind. Hubby and I have vacationed in New Mexico twice. We loved it both times.
Continue reading “Welcome to New Mexico”Warning: Klutz in the Kitchen
Some klutzy kitchen moves can be avoided. Eliminate the use of knives is one way. Order in is another. But then, if you are prone to spills, drops, blender disasters, there might not be much help for you. Except to spend more time in the kitchen. With practice comes perfection.

Today is National Peanut Butter Cookie Day. We’ve talked Peanut Butter Cookies before, and I’ve even shared this very old recipe before. So today’s share is going to be more about the memories surrounding Peanut Butter Cookies.

Today the Catholic Church celebrates the memory of Saint Barnabas. Although considered an apostle father and missionary, he was not one of the original twelve chosen by the Lord, Jesus. Traditionally he is counted as one of the 72 disciples and among the most respected in the first century Church.
