This recipe comes from one of those cookbooks that are put together by churches and organizations as fund raisers. I no longer have the cookbook, so I don’t know what group put it out. I was bad and cut out the recipes that I really liked and passed the book on to someone else. This […]
Who is wise and understanding among you? Show by your good life that your works are done with gentleness born of wisdom. But if you have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not be boastful and false in the truth. Such wisdom does not come down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, […]
If you construct garments for adults, sewing for children sounds simple enough, doesn’t it? Instead of making big people’s clothes, just make them the same only smaller. Well, it doesn’t always work that way. How many little bitty people, such as toddlers, do you know with a grown up shape? Those bodies just aren’t built like […]
I certainly thought it was, but the guy who does the yearly maintenance check on my central air conditioning system said it’s not. I’ve just completed my first year here at the money pit and I have had nothing to compare my power usage month by month. $113 sounds high to me. I’m willing to give […]

I read an article in PC World that states Verizon is giving a free six months DSL Internet access. This is for people who are Verizon telephone customers who sign up for a one year contract. After the six months, it will then revert to it’s $19.99 monthly fee. Unless, that is, you want the […]
We know that the Queen of Mean, Leona Helmsley, was a wealthy lady, but the Queen of Trash left her as well as Oprah and Martha Stewart in the dust. It was only a few years ago that Zhang Yin and her husband were driving around the States in a used minivan, begging garbage dumps […]
The dog days of summer are about over now, but it’s still not too late to make up a batch of freezer punch. I’m back digging through the memories in my recipe box. Mom Otero gave me this recipe when I was in college in Joplin, Missouri. She was one of the dorm moms at […]
Come along with me to The Joyful Cottage. I tried to take you there Saturday, but managed to get lost on the way. We’re going to visit with Ginny and her daughter, Noelle. While we’re there we can look at all the sewing goodies, feel the beautiful fabric, check out the sample garments, and just […]
