Ever since I can remember, books have been one of my favorite things. I can escape to a different world within the pages of a book. And while I love my Kindle, I must admit that there really isn’t anything to compare to the look, feel and smell of a real book. We have…
Molasses Cake with Pumpkin Cream Cheese Frosting
I tried a new recipe yesterday and have had numerous requests for the recipe. I found the recipe for “Simple Molasses Cake” here (scroll down the page to see it). And then the frosting recipe here. I had recently bought a bottle of organic molasses and have been looking for ways to use it. It…

Good friends
Good friends are one of life’s true blessings. After church we went to lunch with a couple we’ve been friends with since our children were little.

Tea and Earthquakes
I know this will come as a shock but I’m pretty darn fond of tea. Okay, so I’m obsessed with it. I begin every day with it. I’ve got a cup in front of me right now. I’ve been drinking it since I was a toddler and I’m sure I’ll continue until the day I…

Sweet and Sour Meatballs
I didn’t think to get a picture last night. It was pretty late and David was starving. Since this is one of my own recipes, the quantities will be vague but I’ll give it my best shot. It’s a rather forgiving recipe. Dee’s Sweet and Sour Meatballs Ingredients: 1 pound ground beef crushed crackers or…
I’m thankful for…
Today I’m thankful for the opportunity to see wildlife in my own backyard. Chris and I watched these three deer for at least 10 minutes this afternoon. I just wish I’d had a video camera with telephoto lens so I could have captured the little drama that took place. A couple of our cats seem…
Homemaking is back in style
The other day I read this post by Jamie Lee Curtis in which she muses about how she became a woman who is “obsessed with making gourmet food, organically grown, artisanally produced as (she) plays Words With Friends…this generation’s Coffee Klatch…”. She’s certainly not the first to make the observation that there seems to be…
