It is interesting how everyone is spending this historic day. We are spending the day at our local OutCenter with an Open House. There is a photo gallery showing of “Family” and all that it means to each person. There is folk music and protest songs, food and friends. I belive it is a lovely…

Dining Out: Shawarma King
About once a week my daughter and I either have a lunch or dinner out together. We try to find places that are not too expensive and are not always chain restaurants. Last night I asked her to choose the restaurant and to my surprise she chose Shawarma King. This little restaurant on Drake Road…
Life Lessons in a Snow Storm
As my daughter and I were driving home the other night through a pretty fierce snowstorm I began to think about how my driving through the storm was like my life. As I drove onto the highway I felt confident. It was snowing quite a bit but the blowing was minimal. The roads seemed slightly…
What’s for Dinner Moms?
Originally posted on What's for Dinner Moms?:
After listening to “What’s for dinner Mom?” every day, for the past 11 years, no matter what the answer I gave them, the reply is always the same, “Again?” I am not overly creative lately in my choices for dinner so I am going on a quest…
Finally Home and Back to “Real” Life
We finally got home from vacation the other day. We spent most of our vacation in North Carolina visiting my parents: Aren’t they cute? We had a relaxing time while there and got to do some fun things such as the Christmas Lights at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. This 3.5 mile drive through Christmas light…

Traveling for the Holidays
We were home for Christmas but had a short trip planned to visit family. We left on Christmas day thinking we would get a jump-start on the driving and arrive early on Monday to visit with my parents, brother and sister-in-law. We had an easy 5-6 hour drive planned for Monday morning. We got a…
All is Calm
The silence before the day begins is one of my favorite parts of the day. It is full of possibilities and hope. Everything is fresh and new again. May your heart be filled with the hope and possibilities of a new day! All is calm, All is bright!
Happy Holidays!
To all my friends, family and followers: Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, or any of the other festivals and holidays this season I wish you – Joy and Peace this Holiday Season!
The Ghost of Christmas Past
I was thinking this morning, “If the Ghost of Christmas Past appeared to me what would he show me in my life to bring back a belief in the good of people and Christmas?” Bonus points if you can name this movie! A couple of Christmas memories really stand out. I remember being about 8-9…
Downtown Market – Grand Rapids, Michigan
We don’t get to Grand Rapids as often as I wish we did but when we do I have to stop at the Downtown Market. I love this place. They have higher end shops for meat, fish, spices, cheese, and bread. But, they also have several smaller places to get a bite to eat. Being…
What Do You Keep in Your Pantry?
The picture above is not my pantry but one I envy from Google. People throughout history have always had somewhere to store their food. Whether it was larders to store meats, buttery to store beer and ale or the pantry used to describe these spaces in the Medieval times to the more formal Butler’s Pantry…
