The folks who know me best know I have a love of books. One that has me counting my books as some of my most prized possessions.

Family Jewels
So this is it. An ordinary day that has really big things attached to it. And to be honest, I'm really excited.

So imagine my surprise when I saw the number and then counted on my fingers to discover that I would hit Post 1000 tonight. This is post 1000. I'm smiling at the… Continue reading One Thousand

Behind the Blog…..and What Comes Next
So, today, this happened. Yep. Seven boxes of peaches. Peaches to share and peaches to prepare. Peaches, peaches everywhere. It's what my people do. Since I was little and we all sat around the table together with bowls and paring knives and more bowls, I have been a part of putting up peaches in the… Continue reading Behind the Blog…..and What Comes Next
