I learned something today. There is an agency in town called Refugee Services of Texas. “A refugee is a person who has been forced to leave his/her country because of a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, or participation in a particular social or political group. Unlike immigrants, refugees have no […]
The Bible talks about being a doorkeeper in the house of the Lord, but I don’t remember anything being said about painting. Let it be known that that is what a group of faithful people did today – They painted the hallway of First Baptist Church Richardson. 1 Corinthians 10:31 (English Standard Version) 31 So, […]
Introducing a family favorite: Siciliano’s A Taste of Italy. For over 25 years we have been dining at A Taste of Italy. Our family has celebrated many birthdays at this restaurant, and that is where Mikel chose to go for her birthday dinner. Over thirty years ago, A Taste of Italy was in a strip […]
On the cover of the February 2014 Southern Living Magazine, is the picture of a Lemon-Lime Pound Cake. For Carmen’s birthday party, Carmen’s niece’s husband (or would that be Carmen’s nephew-in-law, or Carmen’s sister’s son-in-law or…I am sure there are other possibilities) made this Lemon-Lime Pound Cake. It was just as pretty as the cake […]

Going to birthday parties for adults is major fun – meeting new people, eating good food, and enjoying lots of laughter. I am now crusading for more birthday parties for my […]
I think some of you will be inspired by Super Sister’s bathroom, and I wanted to share it with you. Be still my heart. I never cease to be amazed at her and her unique style. The walls are painted a creamy buttery pale yellow. I love the white beadboard that comes about halfway up […]
While the paperwhites were reaching for the stars, and one amaryllis bulb displayed its crimson glory, there was another amaryllis bulb that did not bloom. From the beginning, one amaryllis bulb was larger, and had a longer “neck” that displayed a green stalk. Oh, Little Bulb did have a hint of a stem. While Big […]
Pretty Baby has a bright and cheerful room. Momma Jenny and Aunt Becky worked hard to make her a room that is girly but not too frilly. This room combines modern and nostalgia touches. I like it. I love it. Walls were painted a bright green called Peas in a Pod. It is by Behr, […]
Meshack’s Bar-be-que is in a shack – trust me on this. Maybe that is the meaning of the name – Meshack (My shack). Or could the name be a reference to Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego who survived the burning fire as recorded in the Bible (Daniel chapters 1-3)? I see the analogy – the pure […]
