Curried Lentil Soup
I love this soup with a passion! (And it mashes up nicely for baby food! But it does contain honey, so omit that if you want to feed this to a child under a year. Our 16 month old grand daughter downed it for lunch today!) 3 potatoes, diced 3 carrots, sliced (I...
Under the Influence
Have you heard the phrase, "they were at an impressionable age"? While I realize that children, in their innocence and inexperience and state of phenomenal growth are very impressionable, I don't think we ever outgrow that completely. In fact, I believe that we were...
You Already Are
You are one in a million! You are brave. You are kind. You are growing. You are learning. You are inspiring. You are dedicated. You are fun! You are optimistic. You are grateful. You are faithful. You are gracious. You are humble. You are sweet. You are curious....

I remember a scene from the Dick Van Dyke show, when Laura bleached her hair blonde one afternoon, and then she was scurrying to get it dyed back to brown before Rob came home. Did you see that one? At the end of the show, a probably seven-year-old Richie declares...

Lisa’s Roasted Veggies
My sister-in-law is a great cook and we were so happy to find that while we had been traveling, she had been shopping and cooking and had this beautiful meal waiting for us! Isn't it true that cooking is love made visible? She cooked a pork roast in the crock pot,...
Grateful
Last year we came to help our brother with some yard work. He'd had a surgery some months earlier and was still suffering with nerve pain. He had been so discouraged with a slow recovery, and so we hoped to offer some moral support by helping him get his raised...
