Top 10 Posts From 2013

I can't believe 2013 is coming to an end.  What a year it has been.  Personally for me it has been an extremely sad time because we lost mama.  She was such a treasure and I miss her smiling face daily.  You know her as Dot from her gardens to her recipes.  She has been the inspiration for just about everything I do and share.
God gave us such a wonderful mama, and I thank him.  I don't know what I would have done without his strength.  What would we do without him?
Now on with the new year.  There is an excitement in a new beginning.  Do you feel it?
What will you do?  Where will 2014 take you?  We will share our new year together.
Happy New Year to you all!

I asked Pam lots of questions and she graciously agreed to give me a bio!
Here it is in her own words:

Luke 2:6-7

6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.


For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

Hello and hope all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  This time of year we in the south have  many wonderful foods available and the sweet potato is one of them I especially like.
