As the family grew and our boys became young men, I could see that an omelet was not filling them up for dinner. So I began to try the hearty campfire egg dish. With biscuits and a vegetable, there seems to be enough to hold them over–at least for a while. … Continue reading →
Homeless in Vancouver by andrecarol, courtesy of Flicker I clicked the remote key pad and the car door unlocked. Opening the door, I was blasted with heat from the oven inside my car created by the sweltering Arizona summer. I quickly rolled down the windows to expel the furnace and twisted the air-conditioning knob to maximum.

However, it seems I falter on the well known path, and lose my Way on at least one fork in the road, if not all. Words fly, inflicting pain. Hot tempers erupt. Eyes glare. The blame moves around the room. The … Continue reading →
“If I’m engaged to someone and they serve me chicken, the wedding is off,” proclaimed our 7-year-old son. Hubby and I nearly choked on our chicken dinner as we laughed hysterically at our young son’s observation that we served a lot of chicken in our household. We explained that this was the wise choice for dinner as Grandma lived with us and too much beef was not healthy for her. What’s my reason now for serving a weekly … Continue reading →
