Yesterday…I Cheated!
Yesterday...I cheated. A month ago my husband and I cleaned out our pantry of all junk and processed food, carbs, sugary sweets, etc. I filled the back of my car and drove everything down to a food charity. I was so thankful to get rid of it, they were more than happy to accept... Continue Reading →

We had some old window screens lying around, and so I took one of them, dumped the entire bucket onto... Continue Reading →
Prickly Pear

This morning I spent some time cleaning it: disinfecting the shelves, throwing out the old food, organizing, etc. It had been put off too long! It needed to be done! For many years I created...

For Those Who Don’t Know Me…
.... let me give you a little background. I was born in Iowa in 1967. Born before the days of CDs, DVDs, personally owned computers, cell phones, etc. When we played, we went outdoors. We climbed trees, worked in the garden with our parents, sewed our own clothes, canned our own food for winter preservation,... Continue Reading →
