Bob, my late hubby, used to tell me that I was a creature of habit. He was oh, so correct. I have my routines, and I feel out of sorts when they are interrupted. I have even passed up things I really wanted to do because I was too comfortable in my regular schedule. However, sometimes I manage to interrupt my usual sequence of events and sandwich in something out of the ordinary. I recently realized it had been way…..
September is National Honey Month. As I was looking through my recipes that include this sweet substance, I couldn’t help but be reminded that for me, the sweetest thing in life is the presence of God. I love the ways He shows up to remind me that He is there, even in the little things.

One of the most memorable vacations of my childhood was a trip my family took to Oklahoma in 1968. It seems so very long ago – and that’s because it was – fifty years, to be exact.

The month is even more difficult for me since my husband’s death as it holds the anniversary of both our first date and our wedding. So here I am in the middle…..
September has arrived, and with it came my daughter, Molly. She was on her way home to Illinois from New Jersey, where she has been living since December, having been on active duty assignment with the Air Force for the past several months. Although eager to see her husband and children, Molly gladly spent a couple of days with her mother. How much can you cram in two days, especially when you have recipes you want to try, and not…..
