Welcome

I would love to invite you into my home to have a cup of tea with me. We could sit in my sunny kitchen and talk about all the things that are going on in our lives. I could share with you the news I hear from my grown daughters. How my grandkids are growing. We could laugh together over the funny things that they have said. It would be fun to share the ins and outs of our family life, and talk about our latest creative projects. We could share what God has been teaching us, in our personal lives, and encourage each other on this walk of faith. We could pray together, laugh together, and even cry together. Since most of us will never be able to sit down together face to face, I would like to invite you to join me here. So come on in and have a cup of tea with me.

What's cooking...

For Valentines, instead of trying to get a babysitter and go out for dinner.  Tony and I decided to have a special dinner here at home after we put the kids to bed...so I found a place to set up the card table and set it with a Valentine's Theme, and then try some new recipes.  We enjoyed A Spinach Salad, with strawberries, and Roasted Pecans, Chicken Cordon Bleu Roll-ups and Crash Hot Potatoes.   It all came out really good.  It was a lot of fun to dress-up too, and just do something completely different.  When I went up to tuck Carla into bed, she said, "Mommy you look beautiful!  Are you going somewhere?" :-)  Here are a few links for the recipes I used and some pictures to go along with them.  

Table for two. 

Spinach Salad - I used a Celery Seed Dressing.
