Pumpkin Bread Pudding
Today I finally was able to go to the pumpkin patch! Yes, it was twenty degrees cooler than it has been all week (chilly!) and, yes, it was overcast and drizzly all day…but, we had a great time – really! I went with the homeschoolers from our church….we learned about…
An End to Celebrate
Thankful Thursday…and this week is an easy choice. Today I finish the last of my latest round of treatments for my lymphoma. Although my scans have been clear, I am doing four rounds of Rituxin treatment every six months for the next two years – as a maintenance treatment. Rituxin…

Crock Pot Chicken Parmigiana
I spend the bulk of Thursdays at the doctor’s office (at least for the next few weeks) and so I really like to use the crock pot – especially on those days. It is so nice to come home to the smell of dinner…done! Here is a yummy one we…
Homeschooling
Thankful Thursday…and this Thursday I am so grateful for the opportunity to homeschool the last 2 1/2 years. For the 12 years preceding that, our children attended the Christian school at our church. I was also on staff there, as an aide, and we were very involved…and I am VERY…
A Smile Award
Imagine my surprise…to open my very own, new little blog and find an award!! I cannot even remember the last time I was given an award…how sweet it is to have so many new blogging friends. Thank you very much, Heather, for my Smile Award!! (Wow, I even like the…
