Cookbooks OLD AND NEW 02/13/2018 For a while I've been trying to gather "little things that mean a lot" for a cookbook. I began by jotting down at the top of my outline page the purpose of this compilation: favorite family recipes and other little things one may find inspiring. Luscious recipes, primitive colorful artwork, musings from favorite people, and a few photos of family chefs doing their "thing" are to fill a couple dozen pages that hopefully will share "secrets" from my family's kitchen. As I began the task

"Speaking to one another with songs and hymns"...hmmm. 01/23/2018 If only one person read my blog on Tablecloths and didn't hear the real "song" my words tried to sing, the effort I put into that blog has been in vain. (eeeew, vanity!) And, I apologize. This came to me last night. "But be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs singing and playing to the Lord in your hearts". Ephesians 5:19 In my previous blog I wrote about tablecloths and dishtowels and how these little material things can lift my

a "sneak peek" at little things 01/21/2018 I wanted to put away a few placemats and opened the wrong drawer in the linen chest. Mama mia! I thought to myself because I had just finished putting away my Christmas linens the other day. It was too soon to have VALENTINE things staring me in the face!

THE SOMETHING THAT IS EVERTHING" 01/20/2018 Some days it seems everything connects to the next thing and always leading us to something. The "something" that is everything. Like, yesterday.
