  • She’s gone nutty!

    She’s gone nutty!

    I don’t know about everyone else, but all this isolation has me feeling a little (okay, maybe a LOT) nutty.  During the last few weeks, life has seemed upside down.  Perhaps that is why I decided to make good on a challenge my son Adam gave me several years ago. Through the years, I have…

  • Toot, Toot! Peanut Butter

    Here we are in November.  The time has changed, dropping back an hour.  It does get dark an hour earlier, but I like the fact that the sun comes up sooner in the morning.  I guess there are pros and cons to the whole time change business; if it were up to me, we would…

  • Fall Treats

    Fall Treats

    Fall is really beginning to show its colors after the frosty mornings of last week.  Summer green is evolving into the reds, golds, and oranges of autumn.  Speaking of last week, several days of mine were filled with caring for two of my grandsons, Liam (8) and Colton (3).  Their parents took a delayed trip…

  • February Specials

    I spent a portion of Saturday evening doing something I love to do.  My church congregation held a Hymn Sing, and I had been looking forward to it.  I could sing most of the songs without ever looking at the words on the screen because the lyrics were so familiar to me.  As we sang,…

  • Ursula goes crackers

    There were days in my life that I called myself Ursula.  It was before the days of the character in The Little Mermaid movie, so she had nothing to do with it.  I am not sure why I chose that name, but on days when I thought I would go insane if I heard “Mom”…

  • A sweeter life

    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.…

  • The right way to tailgate

    It’s September, which means football season is underway.  For some people, it is an exciting time as they root for their favorite teams, whether it be high school, college, or professional.  If I had to pick a favorite sport, I guess I would say it is football, although I have forgotten more than I remember…

  • A hard week ends with soft pretzels

    On Tuesday, our area had a lot of water.  A LOT of water.  My driveway became a raging torrent when the stream beside it overflowed. The fields to the west and south of me were lakes, fed by streams of water coming from several directions.  The ground became so inundated that water came into my…

  • Snack ideas for the “Big Game”

    This is the time of year that folks are building up for it.  Grocery store ads are full of ideas for foods to enjoy while watching it.  People on the radio are talking about it, as are those on television.  Parties are planned around its broadcast this coming Sunday evening.  What is “it?”  The “Big…
