“So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.” -James 4:17 I’ve been re-reading one of my old favorites lately: All Creatures Great and Small by beloved country vet James Herriot. It’s a welcome respite from the constant barrage of bad news; a delightful retreat into…

A Couple Little Things
Ok, so first of all, my weekend without social media was great! I didn’t miss it, actually. So what did I do with my time instead? I read Anne’s House of Dreams (the fifth book in the Anne of Green Gables series). I just love the way L.M. Montgomery’s characters take on life..you can see…

My First First Love

Friday Favorites
Happy Friday! It’s the last Friday in August! September is upon us! I’m glad. Fall is my favorite. Speaking of favorites, here are a few of mine from this week: New Favorite Recipe: I hung out with this girl at Mom’s Siam in Carytown on Saturday and we had Drunken Noodles. I was so full,…
