My French Onion Pot Roast delivers a flavor packed meal with minimum fuss and ever belle needs it in her repertoire. Come on folks, let
To Retain the Joy, Revel in the Grace
Lately, I'm finding myself fielding an increasing number of questions on the subject of writing. Most are reasonable inquiries on contacting an agent and finding a publisher.

I love finding baby selfies on my iPhone, images of plump little lips belonging to wee ones who've managed to turn a camera phone on themselves long enough to capture partial glimpses of their own sweet faces. Oh, yes, those please! I have one of Weston the Wonder Boy from Easter 2015 stored on my phone right now that could melt butter. Grandkids aside, however, today
Oh, How He Loves Us. Oh!

I couldn't find an image of that old vehicle but it looked a whole lot like this. For a little booklover at the end of a dirt road, miles from a public library, that bus of books lumbering down our
