Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
I wrote this one year ago, and it seems appropriate this time of year, whether your baby is entering college, the mission field, high school, the military, kindergarten or independence described another way.

When you look at the flowers at my front door, what stands out? Those big round yellow 'look at me, look at me' flowers? They will practically attack someone as they walk past to come inside. When I choose the flowers for the front, I go for color, not worrying about keeping things matching or... Continue Reading →
Grilling Season is upon us, so marinades are front and center. This is a simple soy marinade for fish or chicken, or grilled vegetables, that has deep flavor. It's from the website, Tasting Table, and if you love food, you want to subscribe to this site. If I am grilling chicken breasts, I throw a... Continue Reading →
