Garret and I recently took a last-minute trip to Arizona to visit family and friends. We had a great time traveling together; sometimes laughing, sometimes crying and, often, sitting in peaceful silence together. I love my husband. I am so grateful for his goodness and willingness to keep learning and growing. Garret is not a [...]

Some of you know that I’ve been working on some seasonal angel decorations for several months now (years, if you take into account that Garret cut the wood out for me a couple of Christmases ago). I really love these angels and am so anxious to get them done. Technically, they shouldn’t take but a [...]

Either Garret or I have been sick for about two months now. It’s getting old; but, I understand, not unexpected. Stress can deplete the body’s immunities, and moving to a different climate can subject our bodies to all sorts of new environs. Throw the two in together and it’s time for SOUP!

Spice Islands Ground Chipotle Chile. Wow. This stuff is awesome! It lends a slight smokiness to foods along with heat. Ground Chipotle Chile definitely has a stronger heat than regular chili powder, so don’t use it as a straight across replacement for chili powder in recipes. I heard about this amazing spice in a recipe [...]

Sorry I’ve been gone so long; a little bout with bronchitis. But I’m feeling human today and missed my blog and cyber friends terribly, so back I am. A little post today about fresh milk and buying local where possible. I started reading tidbits here and there about home milk delivery about a year ago. [...]
