So here’s a funny wintery story… We all have habits of doing things, sometimes things we probably shouldn’t do and sometimes it’s just because we’re forgetful. For Dale and I lately it’s been the later, being forgetful. Sunday, a few hours after church, Dale came home. A little while later our home teachers came by. When we went to the…
The other day was the first day of winter and it’s beautiful. The temperatures here have been below freezing…burr. Maybe burr is to mild a statement. The temperature has been dropping into the single digits and not getting above 25 degrees – BURR! So the snow and ice we’ve been experiencing has been sticking around. There really hasn’t been much…
I love living here and I love Fall! I found this amazing produce stand a few miles from our house. The people are so friendly and the produce is fresh, organic and gorgeous…just the way it should be. The prices are reasonable too. I was on the hunt for fresh zucchini and apples. I guess this was my day…
Who doesn’t love Biscotti! The crumbly texture makes them an ideal candidate for dunking into a hot beverage. With tart cranberries and rich pecans in a sticky dough, this recipe produces crunchy cookies. The flavor of these twice-baked Italian cookies deepens over time, so make enough to last a few days. Enjoy! I’m posting two of my favorite recipes. The first one, which is pictured…
It’s that time of year when the leaves on the trees start turning beautiful orange, red and yellow colors. The air is crisp and cool, children are back in school…and you know it’s FALL! I love it. It’s one of my favorite seasons of the year. It’s also a time when we all start to ponder how grateful we are for our…
Okay, so this post isn’t really about us, but the story is so adorable I couldn’t resist. Our daughter, Jamie, took her son, Paul, on a little two day trip. They went to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It’s only a few hours from where they live. She told Paul they were going to see Curious George and tour the new Philadelphia…
Oh My Goodness – these are so yummy and so simple! Pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, agave and a healthy oil…that’s it! A healthy delicious snack full of protein. Add to any salad and enjoy! Roasted Pumpkin and Sesame Seeds 2 & 1/2 cups Pumpkin seeds (I use green pumpkin seeds or pepita’s) 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds…
When you move into a new house, you have to have pictures, right? It’s one of the final touches in making it a home. One of the things that makes a home comfy-cozy is looking around and seeing pictures of family and friends. So, my latest adventure, buying photo frames. After filling them with pictures of our children and grandchildren,…
It use to be when babies were born they would have their very own photo album. Mom and dad would pick out a really cute baby photo album and eventually it would be full of everything about their bundle of joy. Today, not so much. Most things about our lives are posted on Facebook, blogs, texts, twitter, Instagram –…
When you think about it friends are like flowers. When a friendship is nourished it will blossom. Moving here has been amazing. A beautiful home, great neighbors and a new chapter in our life. You might ask, what does this have to do with friends? A lot. We have such sweet and caring neighbors. and so… we have been…
Okay, so the picture is not of Dale and I. Maybe when we were younger and the hair color being reversed, she being brunette and he being blonde. But they are having fun on their Beach Bikes. That’s just what Dale and I did today. We cruised around the neighborhood on our Beach Bikes, with JoJo in his trailer. It…
Skyler Lee became part of our family today, May 26, 2016, at 6:50 am weighing in at 8 lbs. Proud parents Derek and Jocelyn. This is our 6th grandchild. Oh, how time goes by so fast. He’s perfect and so strong. Love the name. Wish we could have been there, but Taiwan is so far away. There are definitely plans…
