More Than A Song

I woke up one morning earlier this week with a really, really bad headache so I knew I’d have to take some Tylenol to make it through the day. What I keep in the house though is generic acetaminophen, made by the company that had the recall recently. Stacy had sent me a link to […]

A few weeks ago I received some patterns in the mail from Barb for making these Christmas ornaments. She very kindly offered to mail them out to people that wanted them and she had quite a few takers. The Santa star ornament caught my eye and I thought how cute it would be to do […]

I’ve been gone for a week and it’s hard to get back in the groove of cooking! We are supposed to fly to Amelia Island for a business trip this week but I think that’s going to get cancelled due to the fact that we were gone last week. Here is my tentative plan for […]

I am glad to be home. 🙂 We had a great Thanksgiving, maybe I can get to some pictures later but not sure I have that many that are applicable to Thanksgiving. We were at the beach for a week with hubby’s whole extended family to celebrate his mom’s upcoming 80th birthday. Had a blast, […]

I’ve been busy cooking and freezing things for Thanksgiving. I won’t have much left to do on Thursday, plus I’m not responsible for the whole meal this year. Several other family members are bringing dishes too so I’m sure we’ll have lots of food! My contributions will be 2 pies, homemade sourdough bread, green bean […]

I finished another of my books a while back but the one I started after it has taken me quite some time to plow through. So I’ll start with that difficult one, Hanna’s Daughters. This story of 3 generations of Scandinavian women covers about 100 years of time. The grandmother is Hanna, who is raped […]

I’ve had a few people ask me some questions about the steel cut oats so I thought I’d find a little info for you. Steel cut oats are whole grain oats and are supposed to be better for you than regular oats. Sometimes they are called Irish or Scottish oats too I believe. Bob’s Red […]

Brown Red, and the Skies are Gray”……. The sky is somewhat gray today but for the last few days I’ve been noticing that one crape myrtle tree had the brightest red leaves on it. It looked like the tree was glowing to me when the sun would shine on it. So I tried taking a […]

I think this helps me to have a plan for the week…..helps with the shopping and I don’t have to try to come up with something for dinner every afternoon! Be sure to visit Laura for more menus, or to play along yourself! Monday……….Baked salmon, veggies Tuesday………Chicken & pasta Wednesday….church supper Thursday…….Nacho grande casserole, salad […]

This past weekend we were out and about. Went to Jackson to see some family and so hubby and bro- in-law could play golf. Which they always enjoy but they are so ready to be better at it! And E and her boyfriend came for dinner on Friday in Jackson also. We had pizza and […]
