We celebrated my dear grandmothers 93rd birthday recently. What a blessing and sheer delight to have the gift of my grandma and her 93 years!

Traditionally, we take a meal to her home, and though we missed Audra this year, we brought her along the best way we knew how. We have so many wonder filled memories over the years of taking a ...

Pizza! Pizza!
One of The Salesman's favorite foods is pizza. I've tried several recipes and I've personally become a fan of the cauliflower crust pizza.

For the Love of Lamp Lights – The Purple Iris
