Happy Birthday to me!

Well, as of today, 35 years have passed since I was born. For the next six weeks, I’m the same age as my brother (though he would vehemently deny it). I made myself a cake – there was some fondant left from earlier in the week – and decorated it. It’s been a very neat day. Our church is having […]

Happy Birthday

Again this year, what I think of on February 16 is my friend Cheryl, whose birthday is today. Wherever you are, Cheryl – Happy Birthday! I hope one day I can find her again…

Cake Decorating

The kids and I have been watching Food Network, learning about cake decorating. They have shown cake competitions a lot recently, and it looked like so much fun! So I looked up a cake recipe and a fondant recipe, and tried them out. Fondant makes a cake MUCH easier to cover than regular icing, and it looks much smoother. Here’s […]

Pray for Candace

My friend Janne brought this to my attention. My mother’s heart goes out to this family. Their little daughter Candace, 7, has come down with a serious aggressive infection that is eating away her bones and muscles. In a few short days she has gotten sick, and had several surgeries to remove the infection. Her situation is very very serious. […]

30 years!

My brother called me today to wish me “Happy Birthday” – I’d meant to call him, but had forgotten. February 11, 1976, at home, both of us accepted Christ as Saviour. God is so good!

I bought seeds for my garden.. and other things…

Ok, first of all, Robby came home today with a dozen roses (which are now on my table in a Coca-cola pail) and four rose bushes (which are now planted in the rose bed after a couple hours of work). Secondly, I bought seeds the other day for this year’s garden. I got the following: marigolds, “stringless” beans, cucumbers, spinach, […]

Amazing, really…

I got up around 7:30 this morning. Theoretically, we were supposed to be leaving around 8 to go with Robby out of town. However, it is now 9:46 and I haven’t heard anything from him. But that’s beside the point. Since I was up anyway, and hungry, I went in and actually COOKED breakfast – eggs & toast – and […]

Ooooh, sugar, sugar….

This week I’m avoiding sugar. With Nate’s birthday Thursday and party Friday and the weekend… I ate way too much and ended up miserable. That never *used* to happen when I ate sugar. Guess I’m getting old! So, trying to even things out, I’m not eating it this week (M-F). ‘Tain’t easy, McGee. So far, so good though. No sugar […]
