This picture is so beautiful to me. It was taken at the Biltmore on January 3, 2018 while The Salesman and Victoria Leigh and I toured the grounds. As I remember the day, it was the coldest one ever; but, the people and the place warmed my heart and we really enjoyed our time together. I had it on my mind to share this favorite picture because I finished a writing assignment and though I have many beautiful pictures from this last week, I just kept thinking of this one. I felt like I agreed ... Read More about Finding Beauty in Every Face & Place – A project completed
A Country Kitchen
Ok, so I am still not back to a normal routine because I have been writing to complete my teaching to turn in to Proverbs 31 for the First 5 app, so today, I bring you country cooking courtesy of my mother-in-love's kitchen.

We have just left what I'm calling a *pocket of peace* in the Carolinas. Doesn't everyone love a dress, or a pair of slacks, with pockets?

I have not shared everything regarding the events ... Read More about A Pocket of Peace
Finding Beauty in Every Face & Place – Favorite flowers

From the fragrant, and exquisite, gardenias to the "sweet summer" hydrangeas that are so appropriately named, I am enjoying each and every bloom. The flowers that are currently blooming are all my favorite. I would not want to pick just one! I've been known to hand out blue ribbons to all of my flowers. Even the seemingly late, and slowly unfurling leaves of the magnificent magnolia. This tree normally blooms in May; but, I am ...

Scripture Memory Team – Verse 9
Good morning, friends! We have made it to the ninth memory verse on our Scripture Memory Team!!! WooHoo! You are doing great! I am so thankful for the verse the Lord led me to for my eighth memory verse because, I needed it day one after I selected it, and on days two through fifteen, as well. He is so good to send us the very Word that we need to hold on to while we are holding on to Him. God knew on the first of July what verse I needed for "such a time" as The Salesman's heart ...
