Nothing makes me feel better during the winter time, than a bowl of delicious warm soup. And friends, I am here to tell you, that the recipe that I most want to share with you, fits the bill. I was fortunate enough to win a contest on Instagram – yes, can you believe it? – […]

My favorite winter/quarantine recipes.

I totally skipped over 2020 here on my blog, but unfortunately, as most everyone, I pretty well just got through 2020 day by day, and did the best I could. I am starting this year with new goals and aspirations. Updating and continuing my blog is one that is important to me and at the […]

It’s 2021 and I’m back.

  Our property is like a little hidden jewel.  Our neighborhood is located within ten minutes of Waverly, in the Dry Creek Cabin Site community. This area was surveyed into approximately 60 large lots, by the Tennessee Valley Authority in the 1950’s and the lots were auctioned off.  The community stretches over several acres and […]

Our front entrance.

From the first time that I told Frank that I wanted to do a pergola on the back of the house, it was a battle.  I had planned since last November to have a bridal shower here for my daughter Kasie, and wanted to have it under a pergola.  Frank, in no way was in […]

The Pergola

I don’t know about you, but March is definitely one of my most favorite months, especially this year.  This winter has been very long and very cold, and I am over it.  Anyone that knows me, knows that I do not like the cold, at all!  When it’s cold outside, I am not motivated to […]

Making Plans

It is January 17, and twenty years ago today the weather was much like it is right now. It was dang cold, with temps around the 18 degree mark, which made heating the little stone church at Montgomery Bell State Park, in Dickson, TN, a little difficult. Frank’s college buddies were in charge of filling […]

Twenty and counting.

Christmas is the celebration of Jesus’s birth and his gift of love for each and everyone of us. With everything being so commercialized these days, it is sometimes hard to put it all aside and remember what Christmas is all about. Frank and I, have a Christmas Eve tradition of going to a candlelight church […]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Can you believe that half of this year has already passed us by???  I blinked twice and realized that I had not posted to my blog since last year at Christmas time.  What in the world? Frank and I have made a couple of purchases this year that has added to the fun at our […]

Half way through 2017

Frank and I have always loved Christmas, especially when the house was full of kids.  My favorite tradition that our family has, is to go to a Christmas Eve candlelight church service and then have dinner at Waffle House and tip our server big.  It’s such a special feeling, being with your family and celebrating the […]

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

God is an amazing artist and I am so thankful that we are blessed to see this beautiful sunset and I am grateful that we are able to enjoy the beauty that he creates.  It seems as though I am always decorating or designing something.  If I am not physically putting something together, I am […]

It’s in the Details
