George has been gone for two weeks, but his fragrance still lingers. And I’m not talking Old Spice. Click here to see what I mean.

Promises: They're What's for Dinner
Budget-conscious families often stretch their dollars by purchasing food in bulk quantities and freezing it. We do that, too. Sort of. Whenever Dove Dark Chocolates go on sale, we stock up and pile them in the freezer. We have mounds of chocolate in our freezer. Sure, meat has its virtues, and veggies are like little

Reading at the Railroad and other adventures
A couple of months ago I received a call from my friend, Jana, asking if I’d be willing to read a children’s train story for an event today at the Marshall Depot. She wanted to schedule “local personalities” to read a story every hour on the hour in an effort to encourage families to visit

God Listens
When the phone rang this afternoon, I let the machine answer it. A woman’s voice stated her name and then why she was calling. Her twenty-five-year-old daughter had been in a car accident, she explained, and had suffered severe brain injury . . . That’s as far as she got before I picked up the
Dinner alone. Dessert with Julie Andrews.
After more than a month’s absence from this journal, I’m sure the question on everybody’s mind is, “What did you have for dinner?” Well, since you’re asking, I’ll tell you. As a matter of fact, it really was quite a satisfying meal for several reasons. First of all, George is in Africa with Luke right

Good, clean fun
Yesterday morning I converted our guest bath into a photo studio, and Luke’s room became a model’s dressing room. Photographing soap is serious business, y’all. A little before 9:00 I ventured into the yard with a basket and scissors (confession: in my mind I pretended I was Anne of Green Gables) to gather roses, daisies,
My love is like a red, red, rose by any other name
Life has been busy and good, with happy moments gracing ordinary days, like fragrant rose petals scattered on a familiar path. A few highlights: Several days ago I logged on to gmail and saw a green dot beside Luke’s name. I was a little surprised to find him online, because he’s currently traveling across West

Life With a Science Guy, Part II
I got in trouble again last night. This time I didn’t inoculate any chicken. I was an aider and abettor. An unwitting accomplice to escapees. Before I go any further, I must say there are many perks to life with a science guy. Especially one who loves to work with plants. Every morning I’m greeted

Project Looking Through
I’m participating in a group project on my photo blog. For the next little while (I’m not sure how long) I’ll post a daily photograph that somehow fits the theme of “looking through.” I’ve posted two so far. It’s an open project, if anyone else wants to join the fun. For more info (and links

Center of Attention
My air-pressure light came on today when I was half a block from Marshall Tire, so I just swung right in there to see what was up. Thankfully they didn’t look very busy. Glen, the owner, happened to be walking from the office to one of the garages, so I rolled down my window, explained
