Waiting.Waiting is part of life, a necessary rhythm to the ebb and flow of activity and hopeful anticipation of what is to come. Waiting is not always easy, though. Most of us are busy with the routines and responsibilities of life but are also waiting for other *things* to happen in our lives. The other things are usually ones that we cannot control ourselves. They are held in the balances, or at bay, by others. It is up to someone else's time when they ... Read More about Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus
Trim Healthy Mama Apple Crumble Review
Cool weather and apples just seem to go together, don't they? Fall apples are delicious and abundant here in the mountains. The Salesman's dad can pick the best bushel of apples ever in the Asheville, North Carolina area. If we had to pay for all the delicious produce his parents have shared with us over the years, we'd be out a good bit, but they are givers. My parents were givers too. And my grandparents were givers. We both come from a long line of ... Read More about Trim Healthy Mama Apple Crumble Review

Fran posted it back in the summer but it came to my mind again this last week. She is spot on with talking about all the feelings of being transparent and vulnerable.

Trim Healthy Mama Cheeseburger Soup Review
The Trim Healthy Mama Cheeseburger Soup is one of the very first dishes that I tried when Audra Elizabeth made it here at the house four years ago. Four years ago...said like I think I'm a pro, right? Well, although I don't consider myself a pro, I certainly enjoy trying healthy new recipes. When Audra Elizabeth was a regular around here, she would make delicious food, and there were several of us that would gladly be taste testers. I remember volunteering ...
