Audrey Hepburn.  The epitome of grace and style.  Pamela Keogh guides us through timeless lessons for living with grace and in the style of Audrey.  She presents Audrey as a role model for women of all ages.  I was a young teen when Audrey’s hit movie, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, was the rage with all the girls I […]

A Purple State of Mind

The Frost Is On The Pumpkin

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Not really, but it will be soon.  Pumpkins are part of our autumn season.  Harvest. Halloween. Thanksgiving.  The Rockville Covered Bridge Festival.  Today I’m going to share two of my recipes for pumpkin bread.  These recipes are from the ladies of Casa Grande, Arizona.  These come from the book that my friend Jeannie Vestal gave […]

And Samuel Said

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

“Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Surely, to obey is better than sacrifice and to heed than the fat of rams. For rebellion is no less a sin than divination, and stubbornness is like iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the […]

Sewing For Your Spooks

Saturday, September 27th, 2008

Yes, it’s time to start getting those costumes ready.  I’ve spent too many times trying to get everything together at the last minute.  Make it fun for you as well as your little spooks.  Do it now.  If you want to try something different, how about a tea bag costume?  Or maybe a bag of […]

She Says It So Well

Friday, September 26th, 2008

It’s all about the financial mess we here in the States are in.  I’m talking about Boomie over at The Wastrel Show.  Her blog is a personal finance blog with a twist.  It happens to be one of my favorites.  It’s the one that I read before any others.  Today she’s telling us to grow […]

Sound Bites

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

I once again have sound with my computer.  It took until about an hour ago to get it back.  I ended up having to download a driver.  Thanks to the help of a Hewlett Packard tech in India, I’m smiling and listening to music as I type.  Thank you for your patience and assistance Mr. […]

A Bonus

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

This is a good recipe to have made up now that the weather is getting a bit cooler.  This bread will have you looking forward to a break with a cup of java or tea and a slice of nutty goodness.  It comes from one of my mother’s friends, Mable Legg and is from the 1960s when […]

Off Line and Back Again

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

Hopefully, this will be the last time my computer is down.  It was the monitor this time.  I have a brand new HP 19″ monitor sitting here in front of me.  It’s a very clear picture and feels huge compared to my old 13″ monitor.  It has built in speakers which I don’t have working […]

No Rock Like Our God

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

My heart exults in the Lord; my strength is exalted in my God. My mouth derides my enemies, because I rejoice in my victory. There is no Holy One like the Lord, no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.  Talk no more so very proudly, let not arrogance come from your […]
