A friend’s mother had a saying, “If you buy a doorknob, you have to buy a house to go with it.” I love this adage, and think it so true. I began working on the potting table, and then…. It was very evident that other areas needed improvement. Suddenly I was on a mission – Either […]
I was convicted. I was inspired. Other bloggers created gorgeous potting sheds and potting tables. You can see some of my inspirations on my Pinterest board. Some of my favorite bloggers – Hospitality Designs, Stone Gable, and Home is Where the Boat Is – have created potting sheds and potting benches. This is the BEFORE […]
Vacation Bible School brings back such fond memories. A bazillion years ago, we marched into the sanctuary and said pledges to the American flag, the Christian flag and the Bible. In our classrooms, we heard Bible stories, memorized Bible verses, heard character stories, and ate snow cones. Oh, how I looked forward to the snow cones. We […]
When it comes to ice cream, (By that, I mean Blue Bell ice cream because that is what we buy.) generally we choose Homemade Vanilla. It is beyond good, but… (Picture from the Blue Bell Creamery website.) Recently, friend Mrs. Ralph RAVED about a flavor called Rocky Mountain Road. Blue Bell was on sale. I saw the carton […]

Coconut lovers unite! Have you heard about the Blue Bell Dipped Fruit Bars – specifically the coconut fruit bars? If not, let me share. Sweet Mother of Pearl – These coconut fruit and dairy bars that are dipped in dark chocolate flavored coating are beyond wonderful. Good friend Mrs. Ralph raved about these bars from the […]
“Come look,” called Ever-Lovin’. “There’s a cottontail in our yard.” Sure enough. There sat Little Rabbit eyeing the white zinnias. It appears that Little Rabbit delicacy of choice is the white zinnias, but the yellow zinnias are left alone. I feel a little like Mr. McGregor in the Beatrix Potter tales of Peter Rabbit. Never fear. We have […]
Miss Jane (my friend who loves to garden and has a wonderful garden) sent me a message. “The hydrangeas are blooming and you might want to see them.” Well, yes! I could not wait to get over there. After Hot Rod’s belt test, we were in the neighborhood, and I called to see if it […]
