There was not a shrimp to be found in the kitchen today. Salmon cakes would not do for I perfected my favorite recipe grounded upon my Appalachian roots. I want low country flavors! And I have skipjack tuna in a can….

Campground review of RVacation in Selma, NC
Some states have great rest stops for catching a few zzzz’s. I discovered on my December sabbatical trip that NC is not one of them when towing. I was grateful to find a campground just off the highway…but was it worth the cost?
…A widow removes her rings
When is it time for a widow to remove her wedding rings? Â The answer is whenever, if ever. Â I knew in June after returning from Mount St Helens that I would no longer wear my wedding rings. Â I took them off and set them in the velvet lined drawer next my Beloved’s ring.
Though my finger is not bare. Â …
Pie Weights and Reckless Love
A good cup of coffee and savory breakfast complements my morning musing with God. The song ‘Reckless Love‘ is playing over and over in my mind. I allow God to take those words and work in me His morning devotion. I reflect on the moments spent with Maggie in the kitchen and am drawn to our conversation of pie weights.

Never thought about them – how could that be? Who has sausage gravy without biscuits? …

So long status quo

Three Bean Salad

Â (Thanks Big Sister!) Â Wanting to use up some of the groceries, I pulled out three cans of beans…black beans, cannellini beans, and garbanzo beans. Â What do I do with that?!?
