I don’t have words at the moment. So, here are images. 🙂 My car’s (THE NEW CAR!!) check engine light came on yesterday and I just about cried…that kind of week, ya’ll. So, I went to adoration instead of crying (all about those healthy choices), and today my dad was like, “the internet says thisContinueContinue reading “Four photos: here’s what’s up”

On the wonder of peaches
It’s probably sacrilegious to say this But I feel that eating summer-peaches, Them bursting with sweet and sticky syrup Running down my fingers, face and chin, Is (almost) sacramental. We’re told of the visible signs of the invisible reality And I hear you on marriage, communion, reconciliation, et al. But somehow my spine-craned posture overContinueContinue reading “On the wonder of peaches”
Carrot cake granola!
Oh friends. And friends and friends. I went. I went on retreat. It was lovely. Sometimes I’ll be somewhere and I’ll realize: this is exactly right. I’m exactly myself, exactly where I need to be. Marytown (the retreat center) is one of those places. Thank you for your prayers while I was away. AND NOWContinueContinue reading “Carrot cake granola!”
Black Bean, Quinoa and Sweet Potato Chili
Remember when I was going to post gluten-free recipes on this here blog? And then three hundred years passed and I didn’t? I apologize for that. Now, I have a cousin who started a new food blog. Yay! More recipes. And she even posted one that was meat-free/ gluten-free, so I decided to test itContinueContinue reading “Black Bean, Quinoa and Sweet Potato Chili”

What Memorial Day Weekend looked like, according to my camera
I left work on Friday in high spirits, I guess, as I took this picture of traffic on my way home. Please note, that blue sky is deceiving. Friday was a night slated for a garden party with girlfriends and crafts and lemonade. Alas, it was too chilly, so I had to move indoors andContinueContinue reading “What Memorial Day Weekend looked like, according to my camera”
Fun on a Friday
Yesterday evening I had dinner-and-lovely-conversation at this lady’s house. And we were joined by Kathryn and groomsman Dave and Colleen’s man-to-be, Mark. It was one of those nights were everyone is just friends, you know? And we ate wholesome, lovely, homemade food and shared about our lives and Hazel-the-cat showcased her skill of jumping highContinueContinue reading “Fun on a Friday”

February!
Yesterday, a Thursday, I lectored. This is standard. What’s not standard is the never-ending beauty in the Bible. So, this: We must consider how to rouse one another to love and good works. We should not stay away from our assembly, as is the custom of some, but encourage one another… And I was like,ContinueContinue reading “February!”
Gluten-free Chocolate Coconut (Cup!)Cake
Sooooo, remember yesterday’s Brother Thomas? He’s also so cool that he sent me some gluten-free recipes to try. It should be noted that this recipe denotes a step of bravery for me. Most gluten-free recipes call for four to six types of alternative flours and I’ve been too scared to try them. But! This oneContinueContinue reading “Gluten-free Chocolate Coconut (Cup!)Cake”
