I'm trying a new format this week by making a page with all the Links from the July 15, 2018 Newsletter. <--- Click to read the newsletter! My email service provider & Amazon have some rules about what type of links & images I can put in my newsletter. Since I own this blog, I get to make "most" of the rules. LOL. No one ever lets me make all the rules. Which is why this is one of my […]
June 2018 Reading List The June 2018 reading list is a bit longer than usual. I read voraciously this month to keep my mind occupied. This was a tough month. My mother passed away on June 15th after an extended illness. To keep my sanity during this melancholy time, I read. I read comedies, rom-com, regular romance, fantasy, recipe books, fan fiction, short stories, newspapers, cereal boxes. If there were words near me, I read them. It was a reading […]

Giving them up would be like telling me to quit breathing. I also kept my reading a little on the lighter side this month as I needed it more for an escape […]
Gina's Veggie Pizza Gina's Veggie Pizza is my go-to dish for parties, carry-ins, picnics, etc. It's always a big hit and super simple to make. The request for me to make it usually comes in the same breath as the party invitation. The recipe lends itself well to doubling for those large gatherings. Even the kids love it, maybe because it has pizza in the name. There is that added bonus of sneaking in some vegetables for the kids. I […]
Spring 2018 gardening on the farm is going strong. The weather has moved from spring into summer in the space of a week. That's pretty typical where I live in central Illiana. We missed several good chances at rain which is always a bit nerve-wracking for me. It seems like when we get locked into that weather pattern of storms splitting to go north & south of us, we stay in that pattern. Drought is a fear around here. We […]
