    A Warm Kiss of Sweetness: Muffins

    September 30, 2009 /

    Summer is really getting to be a memory. Our leaves are still green, however yellows and reds are tipping some of the oaks and maples. I love this time of year, as the mosquitoes are just about gone. YEAH! AMEN and Hallelujah! Dale has picked the blackberry patch clean. He committed himself not to leave any there for the deer, raccoons or any other marauder. Our freezer is full and our oven is popping out warm kisses of sweetness. This muffin recipe can be revised to use any fruit. The trick, I think, is not to over mix the batter. Be ready to put UNSMOOTH (Is that a word?… Spell…

    Commitments and Parenting

    September 29, 2009 /

    No one said being a parent would be easy. But does it really need to be this hard? What might seem like a small trivial decision is holding a great weight over my shoulders. Our teenage-son was asked to a attend the big Homecoming dance by a friend from another school district. We were excited for him getting to know new friends and spending time with a gal whose family we happen to really like. I had seen pictures of the dress, we had discussed corsages, permission forms had been signed, and dinner plans were made. So the news, five days before homecoming, that he wasn’t going to go with…

    MilitaryAvenue & Supporting the Youth

    September 24, 2009 /

    Military families … They deal with frequest moves, and in turn getting to know new communities. They also can deal with deployments or days away on missions that they (as family members) can’t know details about. It isn’t easy for a military family. Not only are they missing their solder, airman, marine, coastie or sailor, but they are also worried about them. Military Family Support. It is a necessity. There are many ways the military families can find the support they need. They search for outreach programs, ways to connect. They need them. They can find it on base at their local Family Support Center or through their Youth Center.…

    The Day I became a Mom

    September 21, 2009 /

    7 years ago today I became a mom to a beautiful blue-eyed, pink-skinned, 8 pound, 21 inches of love, baby boy. In the few days following his birth I would hold him amazed that this little baby was given to me to love, take care of, and to call my son. Then with a little bit of humor I often wondered when his mother was going to come get him. Could I possible be this little boy’s mother? Wow, I was a Mom. The emotion was conflicting and overwhelming. Yet my heart was OVER FLOWING with an amazing new love. He’s no longer 8 pounds. The eyes are more of…

    Our Pepper Plants are A’Popping: Ready for Nacho Topping

    September 14, 2009 /

    No luck this year with green beans… at least not since early July when we got our first harvest. Then the bugs, or elements or something came in and wiped them out. Ugh. Little luck with tomatoes. We have walnut trees, so I know the tomatoes have to fight for survival. Other rows of plants have flourished… and I love it. Ball jars or Mason jars will never go out of business as long as I am in control of the pressure cooker. That big old pot goes nonstop during this time of the year. But what to do with peppers. Can’t can them; chopping and freezing work well.. but…

    Honoring our Flag

    September 12, 2009 /

    I am so proud to be connected in so many ways to the military. I am the spouse of an airman. He taught me so much that he learned through drill, leadership and hands on knowledge. Dale lives the life of integrity. This attribute is in the forefront of all he does, says and thinks. His military friends exude the same quality. And oh, it is a quality that is revered. The idea of country before self has been instilled in our family, in our friends, in our service to country. Visible service before self is displayed in the honoring of the flag. Many flags fly at ceremonies, but only…

    Reflections

    September 11, 2009 /

    Eight years ago today America witnessed the raping of their own security on home-turf. I can recall with great clarity the happenings of the day. I had a migraine headache and had laid down for just a bit. That headache to soon be all but forgotten. My co-worker called to see if I had heard ‘the news’, that a plane had hit a major-building in New York City. I turned on TV and just sat there in stunned silence all day. I remember watching as the newscaster being astonished that a plane had hit a second building. A plane had hit the Pentagon. Reports of another downed plane in Pennsylvania…
