Celebrating Thanksgiving
It was a frigid, icy, snowy morning. We knew it would be like this, so my sisters and I got up early to check the weather and decide if they wanted to attempt to make the hour and some drive to celebrate Thanksgiving today, or postpone. They decided to go for it. For the past […]
Blessed Day With Friends
I was blessed to spend another day with my good friends. I met them at their bed and breakfast to start our day. Just before I got to the entrance, I spotted a buck grazing right along the road. I took a couple pictures and thought it was a wonderful way to begin. My friends […]
Many Meals
I have been staying with my sister for a couple of weeks helping her as she continues to get stronger and heal with her broken leg. We have all been very blessed that my brother has been able to stay with my parents during this time. I will be leaving to go back to my […]
Washing Lasagna Pans
I love preparing for and having celebrations. I like to see people enjoy themselves and each other without having to do a lot of work. Today I participated in my first volunteer opportunity at the church. I helped with a funeral luncheon. Now, you may not think of this as a celebration, but in fact […]
Invitation to Serve
A while ago, the church had a ministry fair of sorts. Some of the ministries were represented by tables of information and sign up sheets. I restrained myself from the youth ministry and religious education section because I knew the commitment would be more than I can give at this time. I came across the […]
Eggs Benedict
The other day I asked my dad if he could have any breakfast he wanted, what would it be. I intended on making it for him for Father’s Day. He thought for a moment and answered, “Eggs Benedict.” I was deflated. I apologized to him and said that I thought that one was out of my […]
New High School Graduate
Today my nephew graduated from high school. It has been a tumultuous road for him, like it is for most teens. We were even unsure if he was going to make it to the ceremony itself as he was not feeling well. But – he did it. I was so happy I was able to attend. […]
Cooked Oven
A few weeks ago, I pushed a button to select a burner on the stove and it made a loud POP. I was terrified. We tested it after it cooled down and it seemed to be OK, so I continued to use it. The other day I turned on one of the other burners and […]
Derby Birthday
Last week my mom was looking through a magazine and found a delectable recipe for a chocolate mint julep pie to celebrate the Kentucky Derby. She then realized that the race was on the same day as her birthday. I did not realize that she enjoyed watching it so much. So, we decided to plan a […]
Angel Food
Tomorrow is my dad’s birthday. His favorite cake is my mom’s homemade angel food cake. Now, this is a tricky cake to make and I have never even attempted it. It is especially challenging in the climate and altitude here. But – I was up for the challenge and knew my mom could walk me […]
