One of the things I try to do in life is to find blessings in situations that are considered to be negative. Last week I wrote about my cousin Jimmy, who passed away on February 21st. My son Jonathan, my grandson Elijah, and I traveled to Tennessee for the visitation and funeral. Although our trip was for a sad occasion, it was good to visit with family that I have not seen for several years. During the time we were…..
I do not know why March was chosen as National Sauce Month; however, after reading the definition of the word “saucy,” I have an idea. According to www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary, “saucy” means: 1. served with or having the consistency of sauce 2 a: impertinently bold and impudent b: amusingly forward and flippant: irrepressible Going with the second definition, March this year has definitely been saucy.

Sometimes it has been for inspiration, sometimes for education or instruction, but the majority of it has been reading for pleasure. Some books combine the previously-mentioned reasons, which makes time spent reading even more enjoyable. After I became an author myself, I have had more opportunity to meet other authors. I met Mary Wilkinson at…..
After an extremely busy weekend, I decided to go the quick route, choosing a topic from a list that I have. April is National Pecan Month. We often associate pecans with sweet dishes, but when I looked through pecan recipes that my family enjoyed in the past, some favorites included them in an entrée. I chose two of them; they both contain Creole seasoning, which I normally would not have on hand. However, one recipe came with directions to make…..
