Early Morning Thoughs

It’s five o’clock in the morning. The first hint of the golden slivers of a new day begin to stretch across the sky as the world slowly wakes. Hello Monday. It’s been a long, sleepless night for me. How ’bout you?

Now That’s Funny!

People are so funny. As we counted down to our “Sail Away” day, Hubby and I kicked things into high gear. Watched what we ate, excersized more and went clothes shopping. A Cruise Vacation meant putting our best foot forward for a bunch of strangers we’d never see again.

Tis That Time of Year

Happy Saturday! Today is going to be a most interesting day. Hubby’s company is participating in our town’s Christmas Parade. They are decorating a flatbed truck, some of the employees will be riding on the truck, others walking along side, all waving at the crowd waiting for Santa.

A Thanksgiving Prayer of Service

Father all-powerful, Your gifts of love are countless and Your goodness infinite. On this Thanksgiving Day we come before You with gratitude for Your kindness.

Open our hearts fully that we may see the needs of others and share in Your gift of loving service.

We ask this through Christ, our Lord, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.


Alleluia, alleluia.
In all circumstances, give thanks,
for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.
Alleluia, alleluia.

Making Biscuits Rise and Shine!

Good Morning All! Hope you had a restful sleep and are ready to embrace yet another glorious day! Today I really don’t have a recipe to share. It’s more a technique thing.

Up Date

I am relived to say that my time to serve on a jury is up. All it took was a phone call late in the evening the night before I was to report. The automated service said “We have all the jurors needed at this time. We thank you for your service and you are dismissed”. Guess it pays to procrastinate.

Leftover Smorgasbord!

It’s that day again, National Clean Out the Fridge Day. Gosh, I hope you are cleaning your fridge more than just once a year. There might just be some strange, gray, hairy things lurking in the back of your fridge.

Thanks for the Likes

Today I was notified that I had set a personal record – most likes in a day. That’s great, or at least it should be, right?

The Power of Prayer

This is going to be a very long read, so before you begin, I suggest you grab a cup of coffee and find a comfy chair. It’s a tapestry, and those take a while to unfold. Ready? Great.

An Amazing Eye

Call me a proud grandma if you want to, I won’t mind. Recently we took a mini-three day vacation along the California Coast to celebrate Kiddo’s birthday. Armed with only his smart-phone, he took some amazing pictures along the way.

Let’s Photograph Nature!

Did you know that at the beginning of June, it was Black Bear Day? Yep, June 3rd was National Black Bear Day. And today is National Photograph Nature Day. So I thought why not tie the two together?

The Spice of Life

No recipe this time, just pictures. If you’ve been following along, you know that Hubby and I put in a hot pepper garden every year. The best part about the garden is that we have fresh peppers at our finger tips.

Discovering the Magic of a Staycation

This year instead of a traditional vacation (leaving home for an extended period of time), we decided to enjoy a Staycation. A Staycation let us explore things nearby while sleeping in our own beds most nights. We had no real plans. And that added to the adventure.

Couldn’t Wait!

I am not one for sharing pictures of the foods I’ve made without also sharing the recipe. Sort of defeats the purpose of a cooking blog, don’t you think?

Are We Ready to Say Farewell?

The holidays are nearly upon us. Do you have your tree trimmed? And the gifts – are they all wrapped? Then you are far ahead of me. A cold has me down for the count. Hubby and Kiddo have both promised to lend a hand to get our festivities back on track.
