What’s for Supper?

On the days mom would make my favorite dinner, I knew immediately what we were having for supper. The mixture of flour and herbs filled the air.

It was the perfect summertime meal. Continue reading “What’s For Supper?” →

Stars shining bright above you. Night breezes seem to whisper, “I love you.” Birds singing in the sycamore trees.

Her loving tales speak of strong women that shared a love of home, history, and family tales.  Kind grandmothers offered snickerdoodles and garden homes to fairies.  All these wonderful spirited grandmothers enchanted and delighted their adoring granddaughter, and their memories live on through her thoughtful writing.  Take a moment to read about her grandmothers, and I promise her words will warm the heart.
