We had overripe bananas lurking around our kitchen this week. So, I whipped out a trusty and easy recipe we’ve used for quite a while now. Good ole banana bread. My daughter stirred it up one day after lunch, while I worked on the dirty dishes. It is truly easy-peasy! I don’t like banana bread, […]
Embrace the Day
Embrace the day. Embrace today. Embrace today and each day God has given. I don’t always embrace today. Sometimes I forget. Sometimes I don’t feel like it. Sometimes I feel attacked by today. Or overwhelmed. I forget how swiftly today is gone. I gaze ahead at where I think the grass is greener. I find […]

Three Things: Spring
I’m thinking spring this morning! In a large part, due to the fact that spring is no where around on this particular morning and winter is reigning again. It was 65 degrees yesterday morning. Last night when I went to bed, it was 33 degrees and raining/icing/hailing/thundering/blowing outside. A far cry from spring, I’m […]

Garlic Breadsticks
I love finding recipes that my family gobbles up! These breadsticks are so, so yummy! There’s lots of butter involved, so you really can’t go wrong. Last year, when we were in the midst of working on our house and painting and moving, my friend brought us cheesy spaghetti, these breadsticks, and brownies for our supper […]
Kitchen Rugs
In one of my {Hello Monday} posts, I posted a photo of one of my kitchen rugs. I knew I wanted two rugs for my kitchen. One to put in front of the refrigerator and one to go in front of the sink. I really hadn’t shopped or given a lot of thought to what […]

Blessed Easter-Jesus our Salvation!
Matthew 27:50-51 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He gave up His spirit. At that moment, the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split. Mark 15:37-38 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed His last. The curtain of […]
Life is a Vapor
My husband and son loaded up into our 1986 GMC work pick-up with our hopper wagon hooked on behind it. A sweet, old hopper wagon that we pulled all the way home from Ohio one year after Christmas. Hopper wagons weren’t used in Kansas like they were and are in the east. I like having […]

I printed the recipe out, but I’ve never made the original! I eliminated the green peppers and went with hamburger […]
Busy Week-Friends, Work, Hay
Hello Monday! We had a busy week last week. It kind of ran together and I did pick up my camera a few times, but not as often as some weeks. And it seems that when we’re busier, I tend to forget more of what all we did do! The schools were on spring […]
