Wonderful Quote ….

Don’t know to whom I should give the credit for this. I received it in an email and it was attributed to “anonymous”. The thought is lovely.

What a challenge to teach our daughters!

Prayer Request

Please pray for the daughter of our good friends Jake and Kelly Hunter. Their oldest daughter Ashlyn was diagnosed with AML Leukemia on Tuesday of last week (3/27). She is currently at Levine Childrens Hospital at CMC in Charlotte, NC. She has begun an agressive chemotherapy treatment. Please pray also for her two younger sisters, Reagan and Camryn, as they struggle to deal with all the changes they are facing.

“This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” John 15:12 nkjv

Happy Spring!!


You can do these so easily. I found this “idea” in the newspaper a few years ago.

Cut a large marshmallow in two for the ears and dip the sticky edges in colored sugar sprinkles. I make mine ahead of time and set them aside to use when I’m decorating. If you want to make a version of these cupcakes that provides less sugar for the kids, you can use sugar free jellybeans for the eyes and nose. Whipped icing has more air “whipped” in, so there’s a little less sugar when you ice the cupcakes. Also, this year I found a cake mix by Pillsbury that was sweetened with Splenda instead of sugar. So, while they’re not completely sugarfree, they’re certainly sugar “reduced”.

After the cupcakes have cooled, ice them with a white icing and then dip the tops in coconut. Use icing to help the marshmallows and jellybeans stay in place on the face. You can use decorating gel to make whiskers if you want to add them. Have fun!

Dinner Guest


We had a visitor for dinner this evening. Sophie watched him land just past the deck and he watched us for about 5 minutes. Of course, by the time we got the camera out and ready, he had flown to a new perch in the back yard. So, we followed him to get a better picture. It was amazing to see one fly so close. Very Cool!!
