Zipping By

This has been such a busy week, and Wednesday has already come – the day I would normally post on my blog. I haven’t had time for cooking adventures or for processing pictures this week.

August 17 – Proverbs 10:17; 12:26

Proverbs 10:17 Amp He who heeds instruction and correction is [not only himself] in the way of life, but is a way of life for others.

This little blog, still pretty insignificant in the grand scheme of things, is growing. That’s the good news (I think). The bad news is that spam bots have... Read More

Making Use of Waiting Times

Yesterday I had to drive in to the hospital to sign some paperwork with my husband. (It was house stuff – we’re under contract now!) He was pulled in for a procedure right before I arrived.
