Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
The piano tuner spent the morning at my house yesterday. He was here just six months ago and at that time we made an appointment for this week. He didn’t call to make sure I would be home and he arrived twenty minutes early. When I opened the door, he walked right in and began... Continue Reading →
I'm Done! It's a statement used more and more often these days when relaying a story that involves frustration or anger, indicating that a person is ready to walk away. It seems like it started out as a way to explain how someone broke up with their gym membership or cellphone company, but now it... Continue Reading →
My guy is in Vegas for the weekend, staying at a triple five star hotel as a rewards trip for some customers. A triple five means that it has earned the five star title as a hotel, a restaurant and a spa and there are only 13 hotels in the world that have this title.... Continue Reading →
The last few days have been rough. As a community, we have experienced a loss that will reverberate and continue to be felt for a long time. Ty and Terri Schenzel, a dynamic, God-loving couple who poured themselves into our city were tragically killed in a car crash late last week. The news spread like... Continue Reading →
My guy is known in our house as 'The Closer'. He won't even glance at a 1000 piece puzzle until the bitter end, and he is the one who usually finishes off the cakes or cookies after everyone else has forgotten them. It's often a joke in our family, but this really is a characteristic... Continue Reading →
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! Her husband is gluten-free, so most of the recipes are, too, as is this risotto recipe. The most difficult thing about this is the need for... Continue Reading →
This is such a great addition to a summer salad, and very simple to do. I found the original recipe here http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2009/08/warm-baked-goat-cheese/ I like that there are very few specific details, just do what you like. When you serve the goat cheese with raspberries and balsamic, the combination is delicious. I have also done this... Continue Reading →
