I did a slightly quicker version of this lantern craft in Children’s Church earlier this month. This is a great craft to go with a “Thy Word is a Lamp Unto My Feet” lesson in church or a study on Florence Nightingale who was called the “Lady of the Lamp”. It would also be a […]
Slow cooker red beans is my daughter’s favorite dish that I cook. Before she left for college, I had to make this for her every week. Now we only eat it when she is home. Since she is home for the summer, we will be eating this often for a while again. Affiliate link are […]
Hurricane Andrew laid his sights on our home. October of 1992 was unremarkable for much of the country, but in south Louisiana, we were recovering from Hurricane Andrew. Hurricane Andrew made landfall in Louisiana in August 1992 practically in my back yard. I was in college in Natchitoches, Louisiana which is in the northern part […]

At Christmas time, I make peppermint meringues with crushed peppermints so it is just logical that I have a summertime version as well with crushed Lemonhead candy. Lemon meringue cookies need to be kept in an air-tight container or Ziploc bag, but I don’t think these will last […]

My husband and I decided to enjoy a quiet evening on our back patio. The birds were singing. The sun was setting. A gentle breeze was blowing. It was almost a perfect evening. EXCEPT THE MOSQUITOES. One mosquito after another either attempted or succeeded in biting our legs. Those horrid little creatures threatened to […]
