Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
How's your garden coming along? Is it bursting with zucchini? I found this recipe for a bread that isn't as sweet as most, it has a little brown sugar and honey in place of the usual 2c of white sugar. It's fromhttp://thecharmofhome.blogspot.com/2013/08/double-chocolate-zucchini-bread.html. Would love to hear what you think. Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread 2... Continue Reading →
My friend heads up a small company, has for at least ten years now and it's been fun to watch her grow in the capacity of being The Boss. She is very diplomatic and non-confrontational, but sometimes when there is a problem she has to confront a service provider or employees and say hard things.... Continue Reading →
The countdown has begun, without really meaning to. Our girl is leaving in just a few days to start a new adventure. It's been a long time coming; we have known for years that our oldest daughter would do something in the area of missions, and she is now putting details to those plans. Jessica... Continue Reading →
Have you read the book, Bread and Wine by Shauna Niequist? It's one of my favorites, a book of wisdom mixed with Jesus and a recipe in each chapter!

When you serve the goat cheese with raspberries and balsamic, the combination is delicious. I have also done this... Continue Reading →

Cinderella lost each of her parents in two different ways and was left to fend for herself against a wicked step-mother and her two evil daughters. The prince... Continue Reading →
I was watching Good Morning America a few days ago, actually reading it because I end up reading the scrolling words across the bottom instead of listening to the 'news'. Anyway, two items were displayed back-to-back that caught my eye: studies show that too much tv watching can cause dementia and apparently the food in... Continue Reading →
I have the privilege of teaching my last born how to drive this summer. She is sixteen and not terribly motivated to learn, most likely because she is the baby and there are plenty of people around to give her rides, and she is still afraid of all the responsibility. We don't want to force... Continue Reading →
Recently our son turned eighteen, and for the last year or two he has talked about sky diving. I have had an interest int he same thing, so I agreed to going with him right after he was of legal age to do so, and Saturday was that day for us. We drove three hours... Continue Reading →
My guy is out of town this week, and last night he sent me an email about another trip he needs to take in a couple of months and he was asking me if I wanted to join him. For some reason, I hesitated. Why is that? I love getting away with him whenever possible.... Continue Reading →
