An Empty Nest
School is coming to a close and for some this means graduations are occurring either from high school, college, or even Kindergarden! Although this time is special, it can also be overwhelming and sad at the same time. This past Friday evening we were eating out. Towards the end of our meal, the kids were Read More
May Culinary Club
May is a busy time of year, so instead of our usual Sunday evening, Culinary Club met on a Thursday night at Diane’s home! It was a splendid time as usual.

My Latest Find
I love this story! And you know how I adore things that “tell a story!” Last September, I visited my dear friend, Jacqueline, in Fort Smith.

The Julian calendar and the Jewish Passover determine the date of Easter which makes Orthodox Easter different some years than Western Easter. This year we had a low key yet fun-filled and very relaxing celebration. And the church Read More
