Sometimes the smallest things we encounter leave us with the biggest thoughts. Yesterday, I went to a craft fair. Nothing unusual, just a simple day out enjoying the little things. As I pulled into the parking lot, I noticed my phone battery was nearly dead. I quickly started typing a message to my husband to let him know I had made it safely and that my phone was about to die. But before I could hit send, the screen went black. Dead as a doornail. Oh well, I thought. No big

#redbudjelly I am not a big fan of Spring. I love the "newness" of life that comes with Spring, but not the ups and downs of the weather. I do however, get excited when I see Redbud trees in full bloom. If you have not tried Redbud Jelly you should! It is simple to make and it is a real treat.

Although both are excellent ways to help keep the weeds from taking over your berry garden, we have found that straw-bale planting has more benefits

Funny title but it is pretty much where my thoughts are right now! Is this the beginning or the end of this journey? I try to not mix my personal life into my business but I feel if I help one person or even let one person know that they are not alone, it was worth it.

I am sure this sounds like a weird statement but let us stop and think about it. Memory. The one thing that we take for granted. We have had it for as long as we can remember and when it starts to fade, we are not exactly sure when it started to happen. But it does happen. We may not lose all of our memory, but it starts to get fuzzy the older we get. Today is Thanksgiving. The only plans I had made for the day was to visit my Mother-In-Law in the Assisted Living Unit
