It’s getting cold here in the mountains of Utah, which means it’s time for one of my favorite things – hot and hearty breakfasts. The only problem with this being, of course, that it’s hard to make the time for a good, home-cooked breakfast so we might not have them as often as we would [...]

If the response to my last blog post is any indication, Grandparents really are special people! What a gift for me to get to read about so many wonderful, special Grandmas and what they have meant to some of you. Thanks for sharing such special memories and traditions!
Today I read about another special Grandma, [...]

Growing up I had my very special Grandma Eddie. Actually, she was Grandma Nellie until my sister’s first child could not say “Nellie” and it came out in a very cute “Eddie” (love you, Jeni-Pen). Grandma was thrilled – she did not like the name “Nellie” and threatened me when I suggested using Nellie as [...]

Pollyanna. Rose-colored glasses. Optimistic to a fault. Miss Happy. Somehow, we can be intimidated by people with a positive attitude.

Ahhh… but Fridays!
Fridays are definitely my next favorite and holy in their [...]

Recently I had the most lovely day bottling tomatoes that I thought I would share the process with you. This is way more “Ode to Tomatoes” than “tutorial”, so please indulge me! There’s just something about that beautiful red fruit that I can’t resist. I am grateful to have the equipment and the knowledge to [...]

The last few weeks have been a deeply introspective time for me. I’m not sure why, but I have a hard time sharing my concerns and worries publicly. So I tend to just withdraw and stop writing. I guess first of all, I figure everyone has their own worries so why should I add mine [...]

After eavesdropping on a couple of friends who are giving themselves a new photo challenge each week, I have decided to do something similar. I’ve missed my camera! This week’s theme is all about the beauty that Autumn presents us in all her glorious colors. We always talk about Spring being a new beginning. But, [...]
