Marking Us Safe
Hey y’all! It took a few days, but the beloved farmer and I have officially marked ourselves safe from Pops and Keggie Kamp 2020. That’s a joke, people. Kinda. In the interest of transparency, while Kamp was huge fun for all involved, it does require a herculean amount of energy. At least for the two more mature Kampers. The grands? Oh, please. Apart from that one
A Whole Lot of Fun and a Little Bit of Folly
Hey friends, let’s chat…Y'all are on my mind so much these days. I find myself wondering how y'all are doing, how your families are doing, whether y'all are sick with Covid or sick of Covid. I wonder if y'all are reeling from the news, limiting your consumption of the news, or making news. 2020 has left us all breathless, amen? I'll talk more about current
The Pandemic of Darkening Counsel Without Knowledge
I’ve been mostly social silent online since George Floyd’s murder and the subsequent peaceful protests and violent looting and rioting rocking our nation. My silence hasn’t come out of fear, intimidation, or because I don’t have things to say. Like everyone else, I have extremely strong opinions, but I’ve been keeping them to myself because I’m trying to hear what God is saying and I
Color Us Accountable
I snapped this picture the other day of Beaux and Hank monitoring the backyard. I've tried to tell the boys that the fishermen aren't a threat to us but my suspicious canines aren't buying. Bless their overzealous hearts. Still, their diligence to stand guard is a great illustration of a scriptural truth I want us to look at today. Hebrews 12:15 reads, "Looking diligently lest any

First, the backstory? As I may have mentioned once or ten times, I love to take our favorite flavor combinations and recreate them into different dishes,

Somewhere in Louisiana the police are on the lookout for, “an aggressive chicken.” That’s an actual quote from a news bulletin. The suspect has gone, um, a foul of the law
Beware Dormant Butt Syndrome
Hello folks, how goes it? Me? I’m so over Corona Crazy. So. Over. It. However, I’m continuing to adjust my daily prayers as I ask Father God to have His way in this season and not my will. If I had my way, we would blink, and this would disappear like a bad nightmare. At the same time, I recognize it’s in crisis that people turn
Sourdough Starter and Friendship Bread Basics
Sourdough Starter and Friendship Bread Basics The first thing you need to know is that I’m a newbie when it comes to bread making. As I said in another post. I haven’t made bread before because…grocery stores. But one of the things I’ve been challenging myself with during our sheltering in place season has been trying to new things, things that seemed daunting, things I wouldn’t
On Skillet Cookies, Husbands, and Learning to Speak Sourdough
Hey folks, let’s chat…How’s it going? It’s a gorgeous day here in northeast Louisiana as I sit here writing to you from the back porch, albeit a tad chilly. (Here’s a screen shot, and I mean that literally. If the picture is fuzzy, blame it on said screen.) We always have a cold snap around Easter and this year is no different. The beloved farmer
