We’ve driven past the sign so many times. I kept thinking that it would be interesting to have the time to follow the signs. Day after day, I’d see that red sign and think the same thing. Finally, the girls and I were on our way home the one afternoon and Meridian had the day off. We decided to go find this place....
Thanksgiving is today and as the holiday season draws near, I wanted to share an experience with you that I had last night. It’s mind blowing and at the same time, it’s what the reason for the season is all about. As I read this recipe a few days ago, it sounded so good. I envisioned the creamy goodness of the lightly seasoned...
When I was younger, there was a saying that meant great or that's good. It was peachy keen. Just a little trivia on this beautiful Saturday with fall starting to creep in. Although fall is almost here, I find this type of recipe is welcome in any weather. It would make a great appetizer or dessert. It's just that good. The process is easy....
As she sat on the floor she could see everything. She didn't mind that the terrazzo was cold. Not at all. Peering around a sharp corner from the hallway, no one saw her but she saw them. They were talking, laughing and having a good time. The men were in suits and the ladies were in wiggle dresses and elegant organza full skirt...
In my early days, growing up in Texas, I always enjoyed food. My father and mother both cooked nutritious, balanced meals on a daily basis. I remember being young and my dad had ordered a bag of large shrimp. I remember asking what was in the bag. He schooled me. I don't recall having shrimp before that although I had tried frog legs...
How is everyone? I hope your weekend was filled with laughter and sunshine! As I start out a new week, I'm trying to get some of my things organized before the weather changes too much. Yesterday, it rained and it was 69! It was a little cool since it's been so hot! There were people at the mall walking in shorts and that's...
For the past 5 weeks I have been working and yes, working, always doing something or going somewhere. Who do I call next? When do I need to go here? I mean sure, there are days where I just sit down and relax but those days are very rare. When I ran my business for those 16 years, I didn't give myself a...
I was reading an article and it discussed things that managers do which lead to employees quitting their job. We've all had jobs where there was that ONE supervisor or manager that was something else. Bound and determined to make your life miserable for one reason or another. As I was reading the article, I reflected back through the years. It's interesting to...
There's so much going on lately. If it's not one thing, it's another. We are all having challenges in one way or another. It's important though that we come together and help one another and be kind. It's all fine and well to hear and listen to the chatter about women helping other women. Is this just lip service? When it comes down...
Today was a busy day. You know the kinda day you get home, you're really hungry and figure out what's for dinner. If you're looking for a pasta recipe, you might enjoy this. I figure this way. Everything in moderation, so to speak. So for tonight, it's pasta. So, we were talking about what could be added to it. The choices are endless....
If you hadn't noticed, I love fabric. I also have an appreciation for beautiful creations that are unique. It's important to be an individual and share your passion with those you come in contact with. There's an old saying, it goes something like this: Find what you really enjoy in life and figure out a way to make a living doing it. You...
I was listening to a woman this morning and it prompted me to share this. As a young girl, I always enjoyed poetry. My middle school English teacher, Mr. Coates, encouraged me to keep writing. I've never forgotten his positive words. That was a while back but I write and enjoy reading poetry to this day. Fast forward to 2016. As I watch daily...
It's a new moon and a beautiful morning! I wanted to start the week off on a positive note! Literally many notes. Music has always been a rather large part of my life. My father was a musician who was proficient with saxophone(s), clarinet, piano and flute. My mother, a New York Rockette and a trained vocalist as well. My parents both worked in...
As I was reading about the history of pizza, it made me think of my own history with the well rounded tasty treat. The topping choices are many and the combinations, endless. I have to admit that pizza is one of my favorite things to eat. When I was younger, there was a place my family would go in Texas. As I recall,...
Brooches date back many centuries. Their history is interesting. I really enjoy wearing brooches and have for many years. I remember my grandmother sending festive pins at Christmas and for birthdays. Naturally, I treasure them and have kept them and worn them on sweaters or on a jacket over the years. In my 20's, I would wear them with my work uniform. I had...
