Snow, Teas, and Infusions

January 29, 2009

I’m just sitting here, enjoying a quiet snowy day.
I love the way the snow glistens when the sun hits it.
I’m thinking of putting the kettle on and making a
nice cup of tea in a little bit.  You know they say that
nothing warms like tea.  I just read a book called Time for Tea
with  Mary Engelbreit.  It [...]

Over the River and Over the Woods…

January 29, 2009

Over the river and over the woods to Grandmother’s house I go….I’m so excited. I am going to visit my Grandma Mamie. She lives in Dallas. I’ve not seen her in almost two years. Southwest Airlines had a terrific deal on a round trip flight. So, guess what I got for Christmas. Yep, a [...]

Wintery Mix to Beautiful Snow…

January 27, 2009

My apologies to those in Southwest Missouri who hate snowy weather; but, I LOVE THIS! I’m so glad to have a little winter that acts like winter. I do hope we all keep power, though.
Keep cozy on this cold wintry night.
Anyone got an extra wood stove or fireplace?

Old Fashioned Cocoa from Scratch

January 25, 2009

My family just loves the rich flavor of old fashioned cocoa made from scratch.  Scratch means you start with basic ingredients and go from there.  I love it because I always have the ingredients on hand.  My kids will have the memory of Momma over the stove stirring the cocoa.  They come running when they [...]

Bless…Praise…Boast…Magnify…Exalt…Seek…and Be Delivered

January 23, 2009

I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 
My soul shall make its boast in the Lord; the humble shall hear of it and be glad. 
Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together. 
I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me [...]

Anybody Else Thinking About Gardening? New Debbie Mumm Desktop

January 22, 2009

 
My friends and I have been talking about  vegetable gardens for this summer.  I’ve never really gardened before, just a few tomato plants.  I’d like to try a few more things this year.  I’ve heard good things about heirloom seeds.  Anyone got any favorites for a new gardener?
