More Than A Song

This past Saturday we helped host a marriage blessing/dinner party for the daughter of one of our friends. We met, planned, invited, prepared, cooked; about an hour before the party started, the worst thunderstorms came through and dropped bucket loads of rain! We were under a tornado warning and found out later that some places […]

Maybe? Hopefully! My sis Stacy and her hubby Tim have been having problems with the computer that runs their main website, thus our blogs have been down too! They are having a time of it; we couldn’t get on most of yesterday and I’m just noticing that I can get on now but that might […]

I’m trying a few new recipes this week and maybe I’ll get around to them all……last week several things got put off because hubby went out of town at the last minute! Here’s what I’m shooting for this time: Monday…….Lentil chili, brown rice, salad Tuesday…….Baked fish, sesame green beans Wednesday…church supper Thursday……Swiss chicken bake, roasted […]

Saw that sister Stacy played this again and I had fun with it the last time I did it, so I’m having a go at it too! Rules: Using the THIRD letter of your MIDDLE name, provide a word that describes each phrase. My letter: I Names used in the bible: Isaiah Junk food: Ice […]

I’ve taken quite a few pictures this past week, maybe a few more than normal. So I’m using some of them today since I’ve racked my brain and am coming up dry on something to write! We went to Jackson last weekend to go out to eat; Don took me out and son D joined […]

We are having gorgeous weather right now in the South; beautiful sunshine and fairly warm, almost spring-like! I should be out walking but I never really want to go by myself. I SO need to be cleaning house today but I think I’m going to shuck it all and go shopping instead! It will leave […]

Sunday my pastor read from Genesis 33, when Jacob and Esau reunited after being estranged for so many years. There was forgiveness and restoration and he sort of landed on verse 10, which I don’t remember reading before or haven’t read it from the NIV. It goes this way………..”No, please!” said Jacob. “If I have […]

I love to watch and was glad when they finally got around to “real” singing! But none of the guys really blew me away last night, so disappointing. And I want Chris Sligh to do so well but he’ll have to step it up. Phil Stacey started out shaky but ended pretty good. I thought […]

I have the internet blues today; haven’t been able to get connected much today and if I do, it’s sporadic and very s.l.o.w! I hope to get around and visit your blogs to comment and all that fun stuff but it might take a while. Our provider (high speed from our cable company) has an […]

It can’t be Monday again! Here’s what I’m tentatively having this week. Monday……Corn & sausage chowder Tuesday……Grilled salmon, broccoli Wednesday..church supper Thursday…..Oven Ranch chicken, roasted veggies Friday……..Veggie quesadillas, rice Saturday…..Party! (We are giving a dinner party/marriage blessing for a girl getting married, the daughter of a friend, so we’ll have fun party food!) Go on […]

A niece of mine sent me this video today and I just loved it! I’ve watched it several times and that dog is just so cute and smart…..plus I also love music from Grease! So for your viewing enjoyment: Now that was cute!

What’s in a name? I’ve been called by my middle name my whole life, wasn’t too much of a problem growing up (except for disliking both my names!). It was only a slight problem after I married but I got my social security card changed and went about my life and business using my middle […]

In the fall I went with Stacy to a library sale in her town, only time I’ve been to something like that but I hope to go again! She went to another one recently and I think she’s gotten some pretty good books, she might have picked better than me. I read the ones I […]

Lots of little things rolling around in my head but nothing I can really get into to write about; lots of jumbled up thoughts with no direction! So this post will take many different turns……ever have days like that? It’s been raining again and I think that makes me feel dreary sometimes and at loose […]

I missed doing this last week when I was out of town and it makes dinner time a little harder if I don’t have a plan! We seem to have several functions this week so it looks like I won’t be cooking as much as I normally might……but I’ll probably enjoy the time out! Be […]
