I May Not Have a Green Thumb, But I’m Still Excited About My Rosebushes
We have rosebushes!!!! I do not have a green thumb or even come close to having one. Not even the tip of one. So, I’m all about plants that do well here in Kansas and don’t require a lot of tender nurturing. Cause they aren’t going to get much nurturing from the winds that like […]

Marriage Musings

Seasoned Potatoes
This is a yummy and simple potato recipe. It takes a little prep and a little planning ahead so it has time to bake. I’ve also microwaved the potatoes, but I like to just stick them in the oven to bake away! This is one of those to-taste recipes. There aren’t amounts for the seasonings. […]

No disappointments. No feeling rushed. I love the days when life flows over obstacles instead of bumping into them. I […]

On Friday, I posted this question on A Delightful Glow’s facebook page: Any recommendations for a spoon rest? I’d like one that a wooden spoon easily lays on. My […]
