If Every Day Were Easter

Ahh, yes, taking a little time today to relax. It was a very busy week last week, culminating in an absolutely wonderful Easter Sunday. The excitement of the kids, the smiles, the uplifting feeling of Christ risen, it was everywhere. Oh how this world needs to feel this every day, what a difference it would…

Enjoy the Day

You all know that Saturday is my favorite day of the week. Ya, I know I’m not alone there 🙂 . The day always feels different, especially if you have the luxury of not having a full day planned. Today would be one of those days. So, if you are like me and you are…

A Loaf of Bread

Yesterday I was chatting with a friend who came by the office for a meeting. I asked her if she wanted a cup of coffee, she said no and shared that she was going to a local coffee cafe after her meeting. She went on to tell me that not only did they have the…

Time Change

Ah yes, yesterday we all felt it, the spring forward into daylight savings time. I have to admit, I’m not sure why we can’t just stay on one and not go back and forth each spring and fall. People were all a little “off” yesterday. It happens I guess when you suddenly lose an hour…

Snapdragons

Yesterday I went to one of our local farmer’s markets. There is a particular booth there, a small farm, that is my favorite. The woman who owns it is so sweet, she just likes to “grow things”. Her veggies and herbs are always the best. I mean like you are washing the dirt and sand…

Dragging

If you’re like me you usually wake up before the alarm goes off each morning. Ya, I’m usually out of bed at least 10 minutes before the alarm. I’ve heard others say that their bodies just know what time it is and even on the weekends they wake up at that same time. Well, I…

Natchitoches Meat Pies

I mentioned in this little blog a few days ago that I was going to get back to making bread and doing some other therapeutic things with my hands. Well, I’m happy to report that I spent yesterday doing just that. I was kind of on a baking frenzy, and I guess it turned out…

Back to the Bread

I was talking with a friend the other day, and she was sharing her excitement about the possibility of renting a house. She has been renting a condo for the last few years, and she has really wanted to just get into a house. She said to me, “I need to be able to get…
