One year ago today my dear grandmother went to heaven. Hardly a day goes by that I don’t think of her. I miss her but am grateful for the time we had and feel blessed to have had her influence in my life. I love you, Grandma. var addthis_config = {“data_track_clickback”:true};
New Orleans
The Tourist By William Faulkner –New Orleans A courtesan, not old and yet no longer young, who shuns the sunlight that the illusion of her former glory be preserved. The mirrors in her house are dim and the frames are tarnished; all her house is dim and beautiful with age. She reclines gracefully upon a…
Laissez le bon temps rouler!
The eagerly awaited day has arrived. As soon as David and Chris can finish up at work we are off to New Orleans! We are driving this time and after seeing how many bags “David the Pirate” has packed of just his stuff, I can only hope we can fit it all in the Prius. …
Coming up…
We leave for New Orleans tomorrow and will be gone eleven days. I can hardly wait! I will try to blog about some of our fantastic meals but there’s a good chance we will be so busy having fun that computer time will be minimal. To tide you over until I get back, I am…

We are going to New Orleans on Thursday and David will be out of town Tuesday and Wednesday. Rather than making a menu, I’ll be cleaning out the refrigerator and using up all the perishables before we leave. I have two heads of cabbage, a couple of bell peppers, green onions and carrots so I…
Volunteer Firefighters
David has been a volunteer firefighter and Emergency Medical Responder for the Happyland Fire Department for several years. It’s a great department with dedicated volunteers who selflessly give of their time to serve and protect the community of Happyland, Oklahoma. Yesterday the local homeschool 4H group held a fundraiser for the department. It had rained…
Guest Post Friday – Top Shelf Chili
Now that the weather is getting cooler, a big pot of chili sounds wonderful. Caleb offered to share his prize-winning recipe with my readers and I’m eager to give it a try (substituting beans for the meat, of course). But my carnivorous friends should try the original version. Let me know what you think! Top…
My day as a 1950s housewife…
While searching for a Leave it to Beaver video clip to share this past Monday, I found myself thinking about what it was like to be a 1950s housewife. I realize that what we saw on television was an idealized view – I’m sure that most housewives didn’t always vacuum in high heels and pearls. …
