I've said before that I am competing with Pizza Hut and Little Caesar's for The Salesman's palate. So when I came across a recipe in the Trim Healthy Table Cookbook for a Personal Pan Pizza, I paused and thought that this just might interest the pizza lover at our house. Diabetes and heart disease impacted The Salesman's life, and our home, almost two years ago. I still remember the precious grandmotherly response from a woman that had spent most of her life as a nurse saying to The ... Read More about Trim Healthy Mama Personal Pan Pizza Review
Finding Beauty in Every Face, Space & Place – A Snowball Bush
I may have stopped along the road today, Got out of my car, and in an almost reverent hush, Drank in the beauty of a lone; but, abundantly blossomed snowball bush. The green-to-white petals bid me to stop, Clusters galore from the ground to the tippy-top. I *had* to stop. I hope you have had a really good week. Did you have a bright spot in your week that you'd love to share? Was there anything beautiful that you’ve seen, or encountered, or experienced this last week? ...

A Song of the Stairway
I just found out today that April is set aside as National Poetry Month. Who knew? Well, I didn't until today.

When I think of being on a stairway, it is ... Read More about A Song of the Stairway

Finding Beauty in Every Face and Place – A Sparrow’s Nest
I can hardly wait to share with you what I've found right at my back door. Just a few weeks ago, in fact it was about the time I started staying home, I noticed a small sprinkling of twigs scattered on the porch by a topiary at our back door. I promptly swept them off the porch that first time; but, when there was another array of twigs and greenery in the same place the next day, I started to investigate and found a nest was being built right at eye level in one of the topiaries! I was so ... Read More about Finding Beauty in Every Face and Place – A Sparrow’s Nest
