Cooking Angel

-
I made a rash promise to David that when I retired, I would cook every night! What was I thinking? Modern women don't do that, do they?
I have a group of precious "Teacher Friends". Darlene, Carolyn, Pat, Mary, Joyce, Cindy and I taught 4th grade at Moore Elementary for many years and we still get together for dinner, catching up, and lots of laughter every 6 months or so. At our last dinner together before I moved, they gave me this precious kitchen angel. She sits on my new kitchen counter and reminds me of my promise to my sweet husband.
I hope no one checks with David to see how well I have kept that promise.

Thanks for sharing your blog with us. I have been thinking of you and wondering if you were settled yet. Your townhome looks beautiful. I know you and Dave are happy to be with Caleb again. I look forward to keeping in touch with you through your blog. Take care.

Did you think they didn't have any good restaurants there? What were you thinking? I must say it is (was) a very noble goal. Good luck with that.

so what's for dinner? have you ever read about the once a month cooking concept? There are several books available on it and I'm sure there are lots of recipes on the web. I've never done it but have had fun thinking about it!

BR--One of the Once a Month cookbooks came out while Jeremy was in HS about the time that I was working on my Master's and Doctorate. I mentioned that it sounded like a good idea to which my sweet son replied, "You don't need the book Mom. You already just cook once a month." Maybe I should check it out for real. :)

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...

Bluebonnets

Texas Bluebonnets and Spring are synonymous! What a beautiful display of God's beauty! My friend, Lea, gave me a beautiful silver bluebonnet charm created by James Avery . You can see it by clicking the link above. I love wearing it because it reminds me of my roots. I still remember the Bluebonnet Song that I learned in elementary school. Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets, With your coats so blue Your bright eyes are shining In the morning dew. They say you're a dolly Offered for the rain And Texas wears blue Bluebonnets in the Spring. Anyone else sing that song as a child?
