There’s a perfect gift that is not made by human hands. You won’t find it under your tree. In fact, the only way to find this gift is to search for it with all of your heart. You won’t find it at the mall. You won’t stand in long lines to get this gift; [...]
In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, and all of my Irish relatives past and present, I’d like to share a bit of green with you. I was very fortunate to be able to visit Ireland in 2006, along with my brother. We went to meet others for a mini family reunion, so to speak. Of course, [...]
Fearless. That was my word for 2008. Let me explain. I am not one to make copious lists of resolutions to fulfill, because inevitably they fall by the wayside and I feel like a failure. So last year, this word popped into my head at the start of the new year. I decided to claim it [...]
Our Christmas was white, very white…all day. It was beautiful. And the next day, snow all day long. We were wrapped in a fluffy white cocoon. At night, the snow lit up the hillsides. No flashlights or outdoor lights needed. Mae walked her boyfriend down the road to his car and they discovered two barn owls perched on [...]

That’s all for now. Be back with a regular [...]
Just a quick update on yesterday’s post, and also a vote for Green Bean Casserole. Yes, I like this stuff and I will be making it tomorrow. And I’m not ashamed to admit it! Also, my friend assures me that a 13 lb. turkey will be okay and not to worry. False alarm, I guess.

In case you’re wondering why I’m blogging instead of freaking out in the kitchen preparing for the big dinner, it’s because we’re having Thanksgiving on Saturday. No cooking or prep work until Friday. We’re celebrating with our BFFs, after Hubby gets back from China.

So I hit Winco at 8:00 last night; it wasn’t too [...]
