    A Valentine’s Day Fairytale About Adoption

    / 2 Comments

    A Valentine’s Day Fairytale – A Story About Adoption (My adoption) Once upon a time, a long long time ago (1966 to be exact) in a land far far away (Alamaba) lived Marilou and Dick. They had so much love to give and wanted to share that love with a child. As sometimes happens, things did not work out exactly as planned, so they decided to adopt a baby. They went to the Nuns at Catholic Charities to start the process. They explained to the Nuns that they were wanting a healthy, infant that was a boy and they were going to name him Brett… They went back home and waited…. and…

    My Favorite Christmas Story

    / No Comments

    My Favorite Christmas Story is a peek into Christmas at my home with my family and the wonderful story that has come out of it. A story that will now be read every Christmas. Like most everyone else, things have been a bit tight for my husband and me this year. This is one of the reasons I asked him for a Christmas gift that was from his heart. Well, he did not disappoint! I slowly opened the last present of Christmas, curious as to what it was. Inside I found a frame with green construction paper inside. My daughter, son-in-law, grandson, and husband all watched on as I started…

    Not Finished With Christmas Shopping????? We Got Ya Covered!!

    / No Comments

    If y’all are like me, you may not be completely done with your Christmas shopping. For some reason the season has gotten away from me. Well, I am the kind of person that instead of completely breaking down in a heap and crying “woe is me” (ok, I may have lost it for about 5 or 10 minutes) I pick myself up and figure out the solution. Now I am someone that has a lot to prepare for here at home and I really do not have time to run out to the crowded malls. So, I figured since I was going to be last minutes gifts and deals online…

    These Lemon Cream Mushrooms are perfect for dinner parties, holiday parties or any special occasion. Easy, Creamy, Decadent and Delicious! The first time I ever had these lemon cream mushrooms was at Thanksgiving dinner at Darleen’s house in Denver. For those that don’t know, she is a very special woman who was previously my Mother-In-Law. We still remain close and I love her dearly. Anyways, these mushrooms absolutely blew me away. I had never tasted anything so delicious. Thankfully, Darleen gave me the recipe and now I am sharing it with you. These really are very easy. When you make the full recipe, you cook them in two batches. If…

    Rocky Road Candy is loaded with chocolate, peanut butter, marshmallows, and peanuts. What could be better than that? This recipe has been passed down through the generations of our family. Rocky Road Candy is the thing that all of my grown children beg for me to send to them for Christmas. It really is addictive Ha! This is such a simple recipe it’s hard to believe that it is so rich and delicious. In a large pot add the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and peanut butter. Make sure you are using real semi-sweet chocolate chips. Those imitation ones may be ok for cookies but not for these. (Let’s face it,…

    The Christmas Truce is a touching story about how even enemies can put down their arms and share peace together, even if just for a short time. This is the perfect story for Christmas. We hope y’all will enjoy and pass it on for all to read and experience. by David G. StratmanFrom his book, We Can Change the WorldIt was December 25, 1914, only 5 months into World War I. German, British, and French soldiers, already sick and tired of the senseless killing, disobeyed their superiors and fraternized with “the enemy” along two-thirds of the Western Front (a crime punishable by death in times of war). German troops held…

    The 25 Books Of Christmas

    The 25 Books Of Christmas I am always looking for new, fun ideas for Christmas. This year, my daughter and grandson are in North Carolina so my mind has been working overtime to make this the best Christmas ever. My grandson, Brandon, is going to be 8 in December. He loves cars, trucks, and trains just like most little boys. Something else that he finds joy in books! He and I would get in our jammies after his bath, pop a bowl of popcorn and cuddle up under a blanket in the recliner with a good book. Sometimes I would have to read it more than once (ok, sometimes 3…
