And when they were finally in the arena, thousands of spectators watched, cheer… Continue

Lest We Forget

We all stay so busy during the year, writing, editing, promoting, and finding time for those who are precious to us.

It's interesting how I can pull out a recipe card and go back in time to cherished moments in my life, moments I never want to forget. I hope you will stop your fever-pitch writing long enough to enjoy the things that make li… Continue

One such expert is Jenny Davies who is a child of Melbourne, Australia and her first creation is a very impressive achievement indeed! Having been born with an inquisitive mind and solid re… Continue

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.....WE HAVE A WINNER!!!

Balancing Acts

So here's another day I'm not writing. This is summer-garden-gathering season in full throttle! I get up and walk and get to the garden before the heat and humidity catch up with me. Yesterday, I shelled peas until 11 pm. I love 'em! Today I've pulled squash, cut okra, picked two rows of butterbeans, and a 1/2 gallon of blueberries.
