Summer
The summer sun hugs the earth, As its rays kiss the morning sky, An exhale of warmth fills the air, And welcomes the day with a sigh. Gentle waves of green whisper hello, Calling out to the dancing flowers, Sweet perfume paints the breeze, Lingering fragrance lasting for hours. A brand new day God creates A season for rejoicing in wonder, The magnificent memories in my heart, The joys only found in summer. ©2009 Virginia … Continue reading
Out with the Old, In with the New

It had buried itself with bedding. She took it out and it … Continue reading

It was delicious and everyone really liked it so I added it to my recipes. Here is my basic stove top tuna casserole recipe. 1 can cream … Continue reading
Myrtle Beach Mini-Vacation
A couple of weekends ago we took a mini vacation to Myrtle Beach. I wrote about our escapade with the ant invasion but I also wanted to share a small bit about how the vacation went. We had set up the camper in the yard to deal with the ant extermination and naturally it decided to rain. We waited Friday for the rain to let up enough so we could close down the camper. We … Continue reading
