I come from a hunting family, as does my husband. Daddy kept us supplied with venison. He also had a herd of cattle, so we had beef when we needed it. This is a really easy recipe that is not spicy hot at all. Some people like their chili hot, but I never have. … Continue reading Hearty Beef or Venison Chili
That Special Symbol of Love
I have always loved Valentine's Day. Even without a boyfriend, I always valued my friends and swapped Valentine's cards with them most years to celebrate that friendship. Sometimes we simply swapped "Happy Valentine's Day" greetings and enjoyed the fact that we had those friendships. I still do enjoy and value my friends and love them. … Continue reading That Special Symbol of Love
What is a Dream?
What is a dream to you? It's probably many different things. I know it is to me. I could say that a dream of mine is to have my first novel published in 2016.

Everyday is different with them not in your daily life, or at least where you could call them or go visit with them; share a laugh, a hug, all those things about when they were still here. Any birthday, anniversary, or holiday makes it even harder … Continue reading The First Thanksgiving
Here I Am Again
It's that time again; that time called National Novel Writing Month. It's hard to believe that two years have gone by since I first participated in this one-month harried blitz to write a full novel rough draft of at least 50,000 words in just thirty days. This is one of those things that seems … Continue reading Here I Am Again
Anniversary Day!
I got a "Happy Anniversary" from wordpress today. My first post date is September 24th, three years ago! It doesn't seem like it was that long ago. I want to thank all of you who have left a comment, "liked", followed, or stopped by for a visit. You have helped make blogging something to look … Continue reading Anniversary Day!
