{February Happenings}

  Well our February Florida weather is cool in the mornings, warm during the day and cool at night. Which to be honest, suits me! But, we can't have perfect weather that suits us all can we? This weather has had me in the baking mode though. I saved a few apples from our mountain trip and baked an apple bundt cake to freeze for a Sunday dinner sweet.  Decided to whip up a batch of Kitty's shortbread spritz cookies. They weren't as pretty as hers but oh they would melt in your mouth. Be sure to pop over to see her recipe.  https://www.kittyskozykitchen.com/2025/01/impossibly-easy-ham-and-swiss-pie-and.html#more I had some left over deer venison and decided to make a Venison and Penne Casserole. Was a hit with Marty and his dad. But, we love all things venison around her neck of the woods.  One day I had some broccoli that was going to go bad if not used so whipped up a little comfort soup. Broccoli and shedder cheese soup.  My oldest granddaughter Raygen bought h...

{Five Random Facts About Me} And a Few Pictures.

Several of my facebook and blogging friends join in on {random facts} at times and it always fun to learn something new about them. It is funny though at how we can know someone forever and learn something new about them and think; "why I never knew that". Thought it would be fun to share a few random things about me. Would love to hear your answers as well.  Web Image 1: What is something that you try to keep on hand in your pantry if possible? My answer: Well, basic staples for sure but something that comes to mind is Pasta . Our church has a committee that helps to feed the families of members that has passed away at our church the day of the funeral service. It is a great and wonderful ministry.  I'm on the salad team. So, I always try to keep pasta handy for a pasta type salad when called upon. Most often we only know a day before the food item is needed so having boxes of pasta helps out. I have made every kind of pasta salad that you can imagine for ou...

{ A Bit Of This And A Tad Of That}

Isn't this plate just adorable? I helped to host a bridal shower over the weekend and the Bride to Be gave all of the hostesses this gift. I love it. What a thoughtful gift. After Sunday dinner some of my crew gathered outside and we painted pumpkins. The kids had so much fun.    The smiles on those faces....Melts a Nana's Heart... This is our staff at the church where I have been the Administrative Secretary for 20 plus years.  As most of my friends know I work and minister at a church but I am a member of another church, sister church,  where I worship, teach and serve. I've always said I've had the best of both worlds as many do not have the opportunity to have two church families. Staff with spouses The gentleman pointed out is the Pastor that I have served alongside of for 20 plus years. He retired recently and he and his lovely wife Judy have moved to Memphis. It has been a bittersweet time for so many but I am so...
